042674P.pdf   11/16/2005  Reproductive Health  v.  Jeremiah Nixon
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  04-2674
   Western District of Missouri   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Fagg and Bye, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - abortion. District court did not err in granting plaintiffs injunctive relief concerning enforcement of Missouri's informed consent provision - Mo. Rev. Stat. Sec. 188.039; however, the scope of the preliminary injunction was overbroad in that the court erred in: (1) granting an injunction which encompassed subsection 5 of Section 188.039, thereby preventing the State from developing a mandated form and (2) failing to clarify that the State is not enjoined from enforcing the informed consent requirement upheld in Planned Parenthood v. Casey, 505 U.S. 833 (1992); district court erred in extending the injunction to Attorney General Nixon as neither the Governor nor any state trial court has directed him to take action to enforce the statute. Judge Bye, dissenting.
