This is as far as the lawsuit surrounding the "No call" in the NFC championship game last season will go.
The Louisiana Supreme Court has dismissed the case, according to a report from ESPN.
The Louisiana Supreme Court has dismissed the Saints fan lawsuit against the NFL over the "no-call" in the NFC Championship Game. Thus, Roger Goodell and the officials will not be required to testify.

The case was sent to the Supreme Court after one judge in Louisiana ruled it must go on and that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell would have to give a deposition.
That will no longer happen now with this ruling.
All of this began in the NFC championship game when an obvious incident of pass interference was not called in the fourth quarter, which forced the Saints to kick a field goal when a penalty would have extended their drive.
The Rams then got the ball back and drove down the field to tie the score and eventually won in overtime after intercepting a Drew Brees pass and kicking a field goal to end the game.
Soon after, a lawsuit seeking $75,000 in damages was brought to court as individuals sought to hold the NFL accountable for the call.
Had they won the lawsuit, all of the money reportedly would have gone to charity.
Since that fateful play, the NFL has made pass interference calls reviewable. The new rule is on a one-year trial basis, however.
