Case Summary

On May 21, 2012, the Archdiocese of St. Louis and an affiliated charity filed a U.S. District Court lawsuit in the Eastern District of Missouri against the Federal Government under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA, the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), and the First Amendment.

On May 21, 2012, the Archdiocese of St. Louis and an affiliated charity filed a U.S. District Court lawsuit in the Eastern District of Missouri against the Federal Government under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA, the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), and the First Amendment. Plaintiffs, represented by private counsel, sought to enjoin enforcement of provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) extending universal contraception coverage in employer-sponsored private health insurance coverage. Plaintiffs contended that this mandatory contraception coverage violates their sincerely held religious beliefs.

On January 29, 2013, Judge John A. Ross granted the defendants' motion to dismiss the case for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. The Court noted that because the contraception mandate was in the process of being amended, as noted by the Advanced Notice of Proposed Rule Making (ANPRM), in its present form mandate represent only a tentative agency position and are therefore not ripe for review. The Archdiocese similarly lacked standing for not alleging any imminent injury. Plaintiffs' case was dismissed without prejudice.
