The Biden administration on Tuesday asked a federal appeals court to reject another appeals court decision that blocked its recent Occupational Safety and Health Administration COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
The administration made the request to the 6th US Circuit Court of Appeals, according to CNN News.
Several lawsuits were brought challenging the OSHA mandate, and last week the cases were consolidated in the 6th Circuit.
Before the cases were consolidated, the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals, arguably the most conservative appeals court in the country, issued its order blocking the mandate, CNN also reports.
