The U.S. Supreme Court yesterday denied review in Sterling v. United States,(Docket No. 16-814, cert. denied 6/5/2017) (Order List).  In the case, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces held that a Marine Lance Corporal failed to establish a prima facie case under RFRA of a substantial burden to sincerely held religious beliefs in defending against charges growing out of her work space posting of unauthorized signs containing Biblical quotations.
