Case Summary

This case challenges Idaho's failure to provide gender-affirming care to prisoners.  On June 28, 2024, three transgender women in Idaho prisons filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho against the Idaho Attorney General and Governor in their official capacities, the Idaho Department of Corrections (IDOC), and Centurion of Idaho (a private healthcare provider contracted by the state). Represented by the ACLU, they alleged that Idaho's House Bill 668 (HB 668), which prevent…

This case challenges Idaho's failure to provide gender-affirming care to prisoners. 

On June 28, 2024, three transgender women in Idaho prisons filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho against the Idaho Attorney General and Governor in their official capacities, the Idaho Department of Corrections (IDOC), and Centurion of Idaho (a private healthcare provider contracted by the state). Represented by the ACLU, they alleged that Idaho's House Bill 668 (HB 668), which prevents state funds and facilities from offering gender-affirming care, violated the Eighth Amendment's prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment. The plaintiffs filed the suit on behalf of all incarcerated persons in the custody of IDOC who are, or will be, diagnosed with gender dysphoria, and are receiving, or would receive, hormone therapy prohibited by HB 668. The case was assigned to District Judge David C. Nye.

The plaintiffs brought this suit pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and the Eighth Amendment. They sought an injunction preventing enforcement of HB 668 as applied to incarcerated people in IDOC custody. The plaintiffs also sought a temporary restraining order (TRO) and provisional class certification on an emergency basis to prevent imminent physical and psychological harm to transgender individuals in the custody of the IDOC.

On July 1, 2024, the Court granted the plaintiffs’ motion for a provisional TRO. 2024 WL 3254296. It clarified that it had not yet made any ruling on the merits and had granted the motion in light of the serious issues raised by the plaintiffs and the extreme time constraints. The Court also sought to preserve the pre-HB 668 status quo. The Court declined to rule on the plaintiffs’ request for a provisional class certification and preliminary injunction at that time because the issue had not been fully briefed.

On July 3, 2024, the Court granted the defendants’ motion for the Court to amend its decision to apply only to plaintiffs who shared their identities with the defendants. The Court stated that if the third named plaintiff disclosed their identity to the defendants after issuance of the order, that plaintiff would be covered under the TRO immediately. On July 3, 2024, the plaintiff filed a motion to proceed in pseudonym; the defendants opposed it on July 24, 2024.

On July 25, 2024, the Court ordered that the case caption going forward would be Robinson, et al. v. Labrador, et al.

On August 2, 2024, the Court granted the plaintiffs' motion for a TRO, for reasons similar to those in the July 1, 2024 order. The decision suspended enforcement of HB 668 (codified as Idaho Code § 18-8901) only as to the proposed class of individuals who are incarcerated persons in the custody of IDOC who have a diagnosis of gender dysphoria and are receiving hormone therapy. On August 9, 2024, the defendants filed a motion for reconsideration. 

On September 3, 2024, the Court granted the plaintiffs’ motion for a TRO, provisional class certification, and preliminary injunction. The Court held that, while it remained unclear whether the plaintiffs were likely to prevail on the merits, they had raised serious questions going to the merits. The remaining factors—irreparable harm, balance of equities, and public interest—also weighed in their favor. The plaintiffs had shown a likely increase in emotional stress and reduction in well-being if they lost access to hormone therapy; the burden on the defendants was minimal because they would simply have to provide the same care they had provided before HB 668; and the public had an interest in preventing constitutional violations. On September 5, the defendants’ motion for reconsideration was denied as moot.

On September 9, 2024, the Governor and Attorney General moved to dismiss for failure to state a claim, contending that the only allegations against them were that the Governor had signed HB 668 and that the Attorney General had authority to enforce it, respectively. On September 30, 2024, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, which identified two plaintiffs by name, added Centurion, LLC (Centurion of Idaho's parent company) as a defendant, introduced additional evidence about the harms of untreated gender dysphoria, and sought permanent injunctive and declaratory relief. On October 15, 2024, defendant Centurion, LLC moved to dismiss for (1) failure to state a claim, arguing its parent-subsidiary relationship with Centurion of Idaho was insufficient to hold it responsible for the latter’s actions, and (2) lack of personal jurisdiction because Centurion, LLC had not purposefully availed itself of the laws of Idaho. 

On October 28, 2024, the plaintiffs filed a motion to reissue the preliminary injunction beyond its initial deadline of December 2, 2024. They argued that without an injunction, IDOC would be forced to discontinue such treatment for individuals with gender dysphoria in its custody. 

On November 12, 2024, the plaintiffs filed an unopposed motion to enter a protective order for the plaintiffs' information. 

On December 2, 2024, the Court granted the plaintiffs’ motion for a second preliminary injunction for reasons similar to those in the September 3, 2024 order. The Court enjoined Idaho Code § 18-8901's prohibition on the use of state funds for hormone therapy as applied to the class for the next 90 days. 

On March 3, 2025, the Court granted the plaintiffs’ motion for a third preliminary injunction, for similar reasons. Between May 2025 and June 2026, the Court granted five additional preliminary injunctions—on May 30, 2025, August 29, 2025, November 25, 2025, February 27, 2026, and June 12, 2026—as the parties conducted discovery. Meanwhile, on September 23, 2025, the plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint, removing one plaintiff who had been released from IDOC custody and adding another. 

On June 29, 2026, the Court granted the Governor’s motion to dismiss, holding that he had a generalized duty to enforce the law and had no specific connection with enforcement of HB 668, making him an improper defendant. It denied the Attorney General’s motion to dismiss because he was authorized to prosecute the director of IDOC for failure to comply with HB 668, thus establishing traceability to and redressability for the plaintiffs’ injury. The Court denied Centurion, LLC’s motion to dismiss as moot because the plaintiffs had since superseded it with a second amended complaint. 

As of July 27, 2026, this case is ongoing.

DOCKET ENTRY ORDER. Before the Court is Defendants Raul Labrador and Brad Little's Motion to Dismiss. Dkt. 63 . Plaintiffs filed an Amended Complaint subsequent to the filing of this Motion. See Dkt. 65 . As the Ninth Circuit has explained, "an amended complaint supersedes the original complaint" thereby becoming the "operative pleading." CDK Global LLC v. Brnovich, 16 F.4th 1266 (9th Cir. 2021) (cleaned up). When this happens, any previously-filed motions to dismiss are moot. See Barnes v. Dist. of Columbia, 42 F. Supp. 3d 111, 117 (D.D.C. 2014) ("When a plaintiff files an amended complaint as of right... the amended complaint becomes the operative pleading... and any pending motion to dismiss becomes moot. (cleaned up))." Accordingly, Defendants' Motion (Dkt. 63 ) is DISMISSED AS MOOT. Signed by Judge David C. Nye.
