U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 20-3239
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Eastern
[PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Shepherd and Kobes, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Medicare. The district court did not err in dismissing for
lack of subject matter jurisdiction plaintiff's declaratory judgment
claims that defendant's action in suspending it from receipt of Medicare
payments violated its constitutional rights; plaintiff's relationship with
the HHS has ended and the mere possibility that it might seek to
re-establish a business relation for receiving Medicare reimbursements and
again have them suspended (allegedly in violation of its constitutional
rights) was simply too hypothetical to pose a real and immediate threat of
injury.
