T. M. v. University of Md. Medical System Corporation · ¶11

These events jumpstarted a flurry of litigation, with T. M. and her parents filing several state and federal lawsuits seeking to have T. M. released from involuntary commitment and to avoid the forced injections. In state court, T. M. filed two petitions for judicial review of the ALJ decisions allowing her involuntary admission and upholding the forced-injection order. She also filed a state habeas petition and a separate civil action, with several emergency motions, seeking release from the medical center. In federal court, T. M. filed a due-process suit seeking damages and an injunction requiring her discharge. T. M.’s father, for his part, filed a state-court action against respondents seeking an order requiring them to recognize T. M.’s purported advance medical directive listing him as T. M.’s healthcare agent if she became incompetent to make decisions.
