PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A federal appeals court ruled Thursday that a lawsuit over the government’s no-fly list can go forward in a lower court in Oregon.

In a unanimous ruling, the three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found that a lower court improperly threw out the lawsuit. U.S. District Court Judge Anna Brown rejected the case last year, saying her court didn’t have authority over the policies and procedures of the Transportation Security Administration.
