The U.S. Supreme Court will not hear Alabama’s latest appeal in the gerrymandering case in which the state failed to follow court orders to create a district in which Black residents would be the majority.

The justices denied Alabama’s emergency request without comment in an unsigned order Tuesday, thereby clearing the final hurdle before court-appointed experts begin the process of finalizing new maps that include a second majority-Black district in the Yellowhammer State.
