The Justice Department and a conservative legal group have jointly asked a federal appeals court to dismiss a challenge to race-based admissions at the U.S. Naval Academy, citing the military’s permanent end to the practice in compliance with President Donald Trump’s executive orders.

In a filing Monday at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, the DOJ and Students for Fair Admissions requested that the case be dismissed as moot and that the district court’s earlier ruling upholding the academy’s policy be vacated.
