State ex rel. Heitkamp v. Family Life Services, Inc.
State ex rel. Heitkamp v. Family Life Services, Inc.
Opinion of the Court
ORDER
The State commenced this action seeking a receivership to preserve the assets of Family
In their petition for a supervisory writ, FLS and HCM allege violations of the First Amendment and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), 42 U.S.C. § 2000bb et seq. They did not, however, raise the RFRA to the district court. We conclude the record before us is inadequate to address the substantial RFRA or First Amendment issues raised in the petition. Further proceedings in the district court are pending and a record adequate to address the allegations of substantial First Amendment and RFRA issues can be developed in those proceedings.
ORDERED, that the petition for a supervisory writ is hereby DENIED.
