Judge refuses to order do-over game for Rams and Saints
Judge rejected arguments from Saints season ticket holders over blown call during NFC Championship game.
Louisiana's Supreme Court has refused to revive a New Orleans Saints fan's lawsuit against the NFL over officials' failure to call a penalty at a crucial point in a January playoff game.
The court denied a motion to rehear the case without comment Tuesday.
Attorney Antonio LeMon filed the lawsuit after officials failed to flag a Los Angeles Rams player for obvious pass interference and an illegal helmet-to-helmet hit. The no-call helped the Rams beat the Saints and advance to the Super Bowl.
The state Supreme Court ruled against LeMon in September. He at first said he wouldn't appeal. But he changed his mind after the Catholic church cited elements of the NFL decision in a request to dismiss ongoing litigation against church officials over alleged sexual abuse.
