The Colorado Supreme Court has dismissed a lawsuit against Christian baker Jack Phillips over his refusal on religious grounds to make a cake celebrating a trans-identified individual's so-called gender transition.

In a decision released Tuesday, the state's highest court ruled 4-3 to dismiss the lawsuit against the owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop filed by Autumn Scardina, a biological male who identifies as a woman.

Justice Melissa Hart authored the majority opinion, arguing that Scardina's discrimination claim was not properly processed before the lawsuit against Phillips was filed.
