Firefighters Seek More Time to Petition U.S. Supreme Court in Vaccine Accommodation Case

Eight Washington firefighters who lost a religious accommodation case in the Ninth Circuit have asked the U.S. Supreme Court for additional time to file a petition for certiorari. The request arises out of Petersen v. Snohomish Regional Fire & Rescue, a lawsuit challenging how the department handled requests for religious exemptions from a COVID-19 vaccination mandate.
