CHEYENNE — The appealed case of six University of Wyoming sorority sisters against their parent organization, Kappa Kappa Gamma, was rejected Wednesday for lack of subject matter jurisdiction by the 10th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals.

In an eight-page document outlining the decision, first obtained by WyoFile, 10th Circuit Judge Carolyn B. McHugh said the U.S. District Court in Wyoming did not issue a final order on the case in its dismissal, thus “we grant Appellees’ motion and dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.”
