Case Summary

[This summary is temporary while we research the case]. On February 8, 2018, parents, on behalf of their minor children, filed this lawsuit in the Eastern District of Michigan. Plaintiffs filed suit against the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS), the director of MDHHS, the manager of the Newborn Screening Section within MDHHS, Michigan BioTrust for Health, the manager of Michigan BioTrust for Health, and the director of Michigan BioTrust for Health. Plaintiffs alleged that the State of Michigan failed to obtain consent from the newborn's legal guardian before conducting a blood test on the infant and taking their blood into the "permanent custody of and permanent detention" by the state. Plaintiffs filed suit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, arguing that the premanent retention of blood violated the Fourth Amendment guarantee against unwarranted search and seizure and Fourteenth Amendment Due Process.
