Pilato v. State of Georgia (three Cases)

Summary

The court held that the plaintiffs could not obtain declaratory or injunctive relief because they failed to establish an actual, justiciable controversy with the State, the only defendant they sued. The alleged injury resulted from APS's enrollment decision, not from any enforcement action by the State, so a ruling on the constitutionality of SB 209 would not resolve the asserted rights dispute. The court vacated the trial court's judgment and remanded with direction to dismiss the petition.
