The plaintiff was fortunate, he got 2 Trump appointed judges on the 9th Circuit to hear the case. Judges Nelson and Collins = Trump appointees. (Obvious, but I will state it: the Clinton appointee dissented, Judge Hawkins). ____ page 25 in Judge Collins concurring opinion brought up ”the fundamental right to refuse medical treatment”.____ The main decision is that the plaintiff”s case ”is not moot” (p. 20). So the plaintidff gets to move forward on the basis that his fundamental right was violated
