Case: Z.A. v. Lucile Salter Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford

5:26-cv-04998 | U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California

Filed Date: May 27, 2026

Case Ongoing

Clearinghouse coding in progress

Case Summary

[This summary is temporary while we research the case.]

This case challenges a federal grand jury subpoena that, according to the plaintiffs, requires Stanford to disclose the identities and highly sensitive medical records of transgender minors and young adults who received gender-related care. Plaintiffs allege that the subpoena is overly broad, lacks a sufficiently particularized and legitimate investigative purpose, and violates their Fifth Amendment informational-privacy and equal-protection rights and Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable searches and seizures.

Absent a further order from this Court, Lucile Packard Children's Hospital (LPCH) shall not produce additional records to the government in response to specifications 12 to 14 of the May 6, 2026 grand jury subpoena issued to LPCH under the seal of the Northern District of Texas. See FTC v. Dean Foods Co., 384 U.S. 597, 608 (1966) (holding that a court has "express authority under the All Writs Act to issue such temporary injunctions as may be necessary to protect its own jurisdiction"); Protectmarriage.com-Yes on 8 v. Bowen, 752 F.3d 827, 834 (9th Cir. 2014) (explaining that disclosure of information moots an action that seeks to prevent such disclosure).For the same reasons, absent a further order from this Court, the government shall not take further action to enforce any grand jury subpoena seeking the private health information or patient records of any member of the putative class or subclass.

Motion Hearing AND Status Conference

52 June 11, 2026

TEXT-ONLY ORDER.On June 8, 2026, the Court issued an order 47 intended solely to "protect its jurisdiction" pending consultation with the parties as to the timeline for the Court's resolution of plaintiffs' motion 46 for a temporary restraining order. At the June 9, 2026 status conference, all parties agreed that the Court should await full briefing before ruling on the motion. To that end, the parties represented that they would file a joint stipulation setting forth a schedule for briefing and hearing the motion and setting forth the terms of their agreement to maintain the status quo pending resolution of plaintiffs' motion. The parties have yet to do so. The parties are therefore ordered to appear for a status conference at 2:00pm on June 12, 2026.Absent a stipulation setting forth a briefing and hearing schedule, defendants are ordered to file any response to plaintiffs' 46 motion for a temporary restraining order by no later than 11:59pm on June 12, 2026. No reply shall be filed. (This is a text-only entry generated by the court. There is no document associated with this entry.) (pcplc3, COURT STAFF) (Filed on 6/11/2026) (Entered: 06/11/2026)

TEXT-ONLY ORDER.The parties' 53 stipulation proposes a briefing schedule but is ambiguous as to any "terms of their agreement to maintain the status quo pending resolution of plaintiffs' motion" for a temporary restraining order. See Dkt. No. 52 . It therefore does not obviate the need for a status conference. The 2pm conference will be conducted via Zoom. (This is a text-only entry generated by the court.
