APPEAL DISMISSED: The FamilyCare part of the case has been
settled in light of the Legislature's enacting a new law limiting the program to
famiies whose income does not exceed 185% FPL.  So the Legislature
resoundingly rejected DHFS' 400% program.  The Legislature also
grandfathered in those who were in DHFS' program and are ineligible under the
new program.  
Supreme Court's Dismissal Order
Defendants'-Appellants Consent to Dismissal of Their Appeals
Case has been settled and dismissed.
