New York’s highest court refused to hear a challenge to the state’s same-sex marriage law after an appeals court ruled earlier this year that legislators didn’t violate open-meeting laws in passing the measure.

The state Court of Appeals in Albany today denied a request by New Yorkers for Constitutional Freedoms to appeal a July decision by an appellate panel in Rochester overturning a lower-court’s decision allowing the lawsuit to proceed based only on that claim.
