May 14, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 44 MEMORANDUM AND ORDER : Ultimately, the Court's decision is based solely on its application of the law to the administrative subpoena at issue here. But the discrepancy between the honorable conduct expected of federal prosecutors and DOJ's tactics in this case is unsettling. The Court cannot help but share the sentiment that "[t]he presumption of regularity that has previously been extended to [DOJ] that it could be taken at its wordwith little doubt about its intentions and stated purposesno longer holds." United States v. Oregon, No. 6:25-CV-01666-MTK, 2026 WL 318402, at *11 (D. Or. Feb. 5, 2026). It is regrettable that this is now the case.The Emergency Motions to Quash (ECF Nos. #1 & #28 ) are GRANTED. In granting these Motions, this Court quashes the administrative subpoenathe instrument issued by DOJnot the enforcement order entered by the Texas court. What this Court holds is that the subpoena itself lacks a congressionally authorized purpose, was issued for an improper purpose, and demands the production of records that cannot be obtained consistent with the constitutional privacy rights of Rhode Island children. Those are independent grounds for quashal of the subpoena that this Court has authority to adjudicate.In addition, DOJ is hereby ENJOINED from seeking, receiving, using, retaining, or disseminating any patient-identifying information or protected health information produced by RIH in response to Administrative Subpoena No. 25-1431-032, including but not limited to all materials responsive to Requests 11 through 15 and any other materials that identify, or reasonably permit the identification of, Rhode Islands children.

May 7, 2026 Opinion or Order TEXT ORDER. The Government's Motion to Stay or Transfer Venue (ECF No. 8) is DENIED. When deciding whether to apply the first-to-file rule, courts must consider: "(1) which action was filed first; (2) the similarity of the parties; and (3) the similarity of the issues." Waithaka v. Amazon.com, Inc., 404 F. Supp. 3d 335, 350 (D. Mass. 2019), aff'd, 966 F.3d 10 (1st Cir. 2020). While the Texas enforcement action was filed first, the remaining factors are not satisfied. The parties are not similar: the Child Advocate was not a party to the Texas proceeding, had no notice of those proceedings, and had no opportunity to be heard there. Rhode Island Hospital, the only party before the Texas court, is not a party here. The issues are not similar: the Texas court adjudicated the enforceability of the subpoena as between the government and Rhode Island Hospital; this Court is asked to adjudicate the independent constitutional privacy rights of minor patients who were never before any court. Those claims were neither raised nor considered in Texas and could not have been, as the affected parties were absent. The first-to-file rule does not apply. So Ordered by District Judge Mary S. McElroy on 5/7/2026. (Potter, Carrie)
