Hammons v. University of Maryland Medical System, Inc.
FOURTH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS
Jesse Hammons was denied a commonly performed medical procedure at the University of Maryland St. Joseph Medical Center because he is transgender. The taxpayer-owned hospital claims that providing Hammons with medical care would be a violation of their religious beliefs. The case is currently in abeyance pending the Fourth Circuit's en banc decision in Anderson v. Crouch.
