U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 23-1209
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota
[PUBLISHED] [Erickson, Author, with Melloy and Stras, Circuit Judges]
Civil Case - Civil Rights. The district court did not err in dismissing
plaintiff's federal and state civil rights claims arising out of her
Minnesota civil commitment proceedings and subsequent forced medication;
plaintiff cannot proceed on her wrongful commitment claim so long as her
civil commitment order stands, the complaint did not plead allegations
plausibly showing that defendants were deliberately indifferent in
relation to her forced medication claim, and she waived her medical
malpractice claim by not meaningfully arguing it on appeal.
