Court of Appeals Decides Another ACA Contraception Case

A recent article, "Tenth Circuit Permits Injunction in Contraceptives Coverage Challenge" by Practical Law Company explains:

"On October 3, 2013, the US Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit issued a decision in Newland v. Sebelius, affirming a district court's preliminary injunction barring enforcement of health care reform's contraceptives coverage mandate (part of the law's preventive services rules) against a for-profit, secular corporation and its owners. The Tenth Circuit held that, in light of its recent decision in Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. v. Sebelius, which involves similar issues, the district court did not abuse its discretion in granting the injunction. The Tenth Circuit remanded the case to the district court with instructions to suspend further proceedings until the Supreme Court completes its consideration of the Hobby Lobby case."
