Court won't hear ABC News appeal of decision to continue with defamation case brought by Beef Products Inc. in LFTB 'pink slime' matter.

The South Dakota Supreme Court last week denied an April ABC News appeal of a March ruling to hear arguments in the defamation case brought by Beef Products Inc. (BPI) regarding the 2012 media representations of lean finely textured beef (LFTB).
BPI's $1.2 billion lawsuit against the network will now proceed to the discovery phase, reports the Sioux City Journal.
