The Supreme Court on Monday turned away a Black dancer’s appeal in her discrimination lawsuit against several Houston clubs, drawing dissent from two of the high court’s liberal justices.

Chanel Nicholson filed suit against the clubs in August 2021, claiming they maintained a policy that limited the number of Black dancers who could work the same shift, in violation of federal law prohibiting racial discrimination in making and enforcing contracts.

Nicholson said she was denied work repeatedly due to the quota, including in 2014, 2017 and 2021. However, her case was dismissed by a district court that concluded the applicable statute of limitations clock began ticking in 2014; the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit affirmed the decision.
