MIDLAND, MI — A Midland County woman's lawsuit against Planet Fitness for its transgender-friendly locker room policy continues, despite a judge dismissing the lawsuit in January.

Yvette Cormier's attorney, David A. Kallman, appealed the judge's decision to the Michigan Court of Appeals on Jan. 28.

Kallman said he believes Midland County Circuit Judge Michael J. Beale's decision to dismiss the lawsuit was premature.
[…]
Kallman explained that oral arguments in the Michigan Court of Appeals is likely at least a few months away, explaining that time is allotted for the filing of briefs and replies to be filed by both sides.

Though the court could decide on the case based solely on those briefs, Kallman said he anticipates the chance to argue it in front of a panel of appellate judges.

"It will definitely go to oral arguments," he said.
[…]
If necessary, Kallman said he is prepared to argue the case all the way up to the Michigan Supreme Court.
I think whoever is backing Ms. Cormier wants it to go all the way to the Michigan Supreme Court and hopefully the court will have the same ruling as Maine’s Supreme Judicial Court.
