The Supreme Court refused this morning to issue an injunction in the interstate battle over invasive Asian carp, meaning Chicago won’t be required — for now — to close locks on waterways linking the Mississippi River and Lake Michigan.

The court will rule later on the merits of the Asian carp case, but no date has been given.
