"In Pleasant Grove case, a religious group wants to avoid U.S. high court"

"In Pleasant Grove case, a religious group wants to avoid U.S. high court": The Daily Herald of Provo, Utah today contains an article that begins, "A religious organization is hoping to preserve its most recent legal victory over the city and keep a case regarding a monument in Pleasant Grove's Pioneer Park out of the U.S. Supreme Court. Summum, a Salt Lake City-based religious group that follows tenets of Gnostic Christianity and ancient Egyptian teachings, including mummification, filed a brief with the Supreme Court on Thursday, asking the court to reject Pleasant Grove's request for it to weigh in on a 2007 ruling by the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. That ruling granted a preliminary injunction to Summum, allowing the group to build a monument in Pioneer Park while it awaits the outcome of a federal lawsuit against Pleasant Grove."
