Chapman v. Doe
Petition for writ of certiorari granted, judgment vacated, and case remanded to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit with instructions to dismiss the case as moot under United States v. Munsingwear, Inc. on March 20, 2023.
Issue
(1) Whether Clerk Chapman was properly denied quasi-judicial immunity because the judge could not recall anything about the case, including whether the judge directed her to notify the parents when an unemancipated minor filed an application for a judicial bypass to have an abortion; (2) whether it was clearly established in 2018 that providing prehearing notification to an unemancipated minor"s parent of a judicial bypass procedure violates the minor"s clearly established rights; and (3) whether, in light of this court"s intervening decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women"s Health Org., the court should remand to determine whether Doe can show she has a right to a judicial bypass procedure without notice to her parents.
