(STATEHOUSE) - Indiana lawmakers will still be able to open their sessions with a prayer.

A federal appeals court has decided to not re-hear the case. State Attorney General Steve Carter says the ruling upholds an October decision by the appeals court to allow the prayer.

Carter says the ruling could be appealed to the Supreme Court, but he adds many times cases end at the appeals court level.

The case has been in the court system for a couple of years.
