Denying cert is the supreme court deciding not to hear the case, not a supreme court decision on the content of the case.

That case appears to be civil, not criminal?

AIUI, the Supreme Court only takes cases that require their ruling to clarify interpretations of existing law or a lower correct incorrectly interpreted a law. Denying cert means their is no clarification to be made to existing law, so that in itself is an answer.
