WASHINGTON May 30, 2006 (AP)— The Supreme Court passed up a chance Tuesday to consider whether Yahoo Inc. could use American courts to resolve an overseas dispute over the Internet company's display of Nazi memorabilia.

A French judge had ordered the Sunnyvale, Calif.-based company to take Nazi paraphernalia off its site, yahoo.com. The judge proposed a fine of about $15 million for running an auction site in which French users could buy and sell the memorabilia banned in France.
