The Supreme Court declined to overturn the Ninth Circuit, because there was no circuit split or other issue of such urgency to require the Supreme Court to weigh in.
The US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled (somewhat) in favor of the plaintiffs, and remanded the matter to the district court having reversed the lower court on some questions of law.
I think it is still a live controversy in the district court, but it seems likely that the plaintiffs will win on the merits or obtain a settlement.
You wrote "That is inaccurate", but you didn't cite a single inaccuracy in the gp comment. You wrote some other sentences, but they don't appear to contradict anything gp wrote.
The GP claimed litigation was over. The parent claims it isn't over. Oftentimes higher courts decide a specific question pertaining to a case, not the whole case. Just because a higher court clarifies something doesn't mean litigation is over - it means the lower courts can continue with that point now clarified and/or corrected.
