The U.S. Supreme Court dropped one of two cases over President Donald Trump’s travel ban, suggesting it will sidestep a constitutional showdown and let lower courts take the first look at the latest version of the policy.

Granting a Trump administration request Tuesday, the justices dismissed an appeal over a provision that expired last month in an earlier version of the travel ban. The remaining appeal, which also involves refugee limits that are still in effect, may meet the same fate later this month when those restrictions expire Oct. 24.
