Stewart Carney Jr. v. Hancock County

Summary

The court dismissed the interlocutory appeal. It held that the defendants’ challenge to application of the Maine Health Security Act was not immediately reviewable because participation in the statutory screening process did not create an irreparably lost right, and it declined to review the immunity issue while a comprehensive federal action involving the same facts remained pending. The court understood that the MHSA screening process would proceed before the federal litigation resumed.
