There were no federal questions raised here, so there can't be a federal appeal. It had to do purely with NY statutes and the NY state constitution. This is the end of the line for this case.
Do you mean that they can't appeal in federal court on the grounds that the state constitution violates their constitutional right to equal protection under the 14th amendment?
