Notable cases
NH State Medicaid Case
| United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire *Dartmouth-Hitchcock v. NHDHHS 11-cv-358-SM |
|---|
| On March 2, 2012, Chief Judge Steven McAuliffe of the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire ruled against a state in a decision that will require the state Department of Health and Human Services to begin following federal guidelines with regard to Medicaid reimbursement rates. The federal government requires that the DHHS announce rate changes with a 15 day notice that provides a justification for changes, followed by a subsequent 30 day comment period. Ten New Hampshire hospitals filed suit, claiming that the state failed to give proper notice, failed to justify the changes and failed to provide hearings. McAuliffe sided with the hospitals and in his 31 page order, demanded that the state comply with the federal laws. [5] |
Pledge of Allegiance case
| United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire *Freedom From Religion Foundation v. Hanover School Civil No. 07-cv-356-SM |
|---|
| Judge McAuliffe presided over a case involving the use of the term "under god" in the Pledge of Allegiance of the United States. On October 2, 2009, McAuliffe dismissed a case from the Freedom from Religion Foundation filed on behalf of the parents of two New Hampshire school students who believe their constitutional rights were being violated.
