Eric, I’m not sure, but I think the Erie doctrine would necessitate the federal court to use Florida law.

And Tim, I agree COunt 8 is very problematic. Assuming that what Congress did was constitutional, it seems to me that the federal court would be obliged to start a whole new trial and disregard any of the judgments of the state courts. It makes me wonder why the parents didn’t raise this on their first complaint, since I think all of their previous causes of action have been meritless.

Apparently Florida law does require “clear and convincing” evidence of the patient’s desire before cutting off nutrition, so the federal claim could at least be that Florida has violated the Florida standard in letting Judge Greer use evidence that is not clear and convincing.

Can federal courts do that? I don’t think federal courts can second guess how a state court has interpreted a state law, can it?

None of their new counts look persuasive to me, but count 8 might get them an injunction because it seems to require an extensive review of the record to even figure out if it has any merit. If the district judge hasn’t read the whole record yet (and somehow I doubt he has), he might issue an injuction just to get enough time to review the record. Under ‘all writs’ authority?
