Heading: Moore's Complaint

Text: In March 2007, Moore's mother, on behalf of her minor child, filed her original complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleging violations of the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic, and Treatment (EPSDT) provision of the Medicaid Act. Plaintiff Moore moved for a temporary restraining order (TRO), which the district court granted. The TRO enjoined DCH from providing Moore with fewer than 94 hours of nursing care a week. When the TRO was slated to expire, Moore filed a motion for a preliminary injunction or, alternatively, to extend the TRO. In September 2007, the district court denied Moore's motion because DCH represented that it would continue to provide 94 nursing hours during the pendency of Moore's suit unless an emergency event required an increase in hours.
