Case Summary

This case is about the federal government’s authority to impose new ideological and policy-based conditions on public health grant funding. On May 1, 2025, Planned Parenthoods around the United States filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. They sued the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and its secretary under the Due Process Clause and the Administrative Procedure Act. The case was assigned to Judge Timothy J. Kelly.

This case is about the federal government’s authority to impose new ideological and policy-based conditions on public health grant funding. On May 1, 2025, Planned Parenthoods around the United States filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. They sued the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and its secretary under the Due Process Clause and the Administrative Procedure Act. The case was assigned to Judge Timothy J. Kelly.

Represented by private counsel, the plaintiffs filed a motion for a preliminary injunction on May 12, 2025. They sought to enjoin HHS from enforcing the revised Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs) for the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program that conditioned funding on compliance with Executive Order 14151, “Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing,” Executive Order 14173, “Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity,” and Executive Order 14187, “Protecting Children From Chemical and Surgical Mutilation.” The plaintiffs sought to preserve their existing funding and prevent disruption to their programming by extending or reinstating their fiscal year 2023 grants while the case was pending. They also sought a permanent injunction prohibiting HHS from conditioning future TPP funding on compliance with the contested provisions. Additionally, the plaintiffs sought an award of attorneys’ fees and costs under the Equal Access to Justice Act.

The plaintiffs argued that HHS violated the Administrative Procedure Act by acting arbitrarily and capriciously in imposing new funding conditions that were not authorized by Congress and that departed from the statutory requirement that Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program grants be awarded solely for evidence-based programs. They contended that HHS failed to provide a reasoned explanation for conditioning funding on compliance with the executive orders. 

Additionally, the plaintiffs claimed that these conditions violated their due process rights by retroactively and vaguely imposing new requirements after the grant cycle had already begun. They further argued that the executive orders and the resulting funding conditions exceeded HHS’s statutory authority, which limits grant funding to programs focused on evidence-based teen pregnancy prevention rather than ideological conformity. The plaintiffs emphasized that Congress intended the program to support scientifically proven interventions and that HHS’s actions undermined this congressional intent by enforcing policies that discriminate against transgender individuals and suppress DEI initiatives.

On June 26, 2025, Judge Kelly denied the plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction. 2025 WL 1768100. The court concluded that the plaintiffs had not demonstrated a likelihood of success on the merits of their claims under the Administrative Procedure Act or the Due Process Clause. The court also held that the plaintiffs failed to establish irreparable harm, emphasizing that the challenged federal funding restrictions did not pose an immediate threat to existing grants. The court found that while the policy changes may be disruptive, temporary funding interruptions did not justify emergency relief. The following day, on June 27, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal to the D.C. Circuit, challenging the denial of preliminary relief. 

However, on July 11, 2025, the plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed the case without prejudice, though no specific reason for the dismissal was provided. Concurrently, the parties filed a joint stipulation to dismiss the plaintiffs’ appeal in the D.C. Circuit.

On July 29, 2025, the case was refiled in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia under docket number 1:25-cv-02453

MINUTE ORDER: Before the Court is the parties' 31 Joint Scheduling Submission. But no proposal includes production of the administrative record, which appears necessary for the Court to rule on the merits of Plaintiffs' claim that the NCC Notice is arbitrary and capricious. See Dist. Hosp. Partners, L.P. v. Sebelius, 794 F. Supp. 2d 162, 171-72 (D.D.C. 2011). Thus, it is hereby ORDERED that, by July 7, 2025, Plaintiff Planned Parenthood Mar Monte and Defendants shall file separate reports updating each's proposed briefing schedule to account for production of the administrative record. Signed by Judge Timothy J. Kelly on 7/3/2025. (lctjk2)
