Jack Phillips can’t seem to keep himself out of the courtroom.
Over three years after appearing before the U.S. Supreme Court, the owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop and petitioner in the eponymous case was back in
Colorado state court March 22 to participate in a civil trial after an attorney sued him for refusing to bake a custom cake celebrating a gender transition in 2017.
In an antecedent but similar encounter in July 2012,
Phillips declined to create a cake celebrating a same-sex couple’s marriage on the grounds that he would be participating in something that violates his religious beliefs about what constitutes marriage.

Nearly a year after 40 Denver Health retirees or their surviving spouses were told they’d need to collectively pay back millions, 16 of them are going to court.
The pensioners last week filed a lawsuit against the Denver Employees Retirement Plan, which manages the retirement plan for Denver Health and thousands of city of Denver employees.
The lawsuit, filed in Denver County District Court, states that DERP planned to begin clawing back funds from the plaintiffs as of March 1. It seeks an injunction from the court to prevent that.
