WASHINGTON, D.C. – A District of Columbia federal judge on Nov. 5 granted the federal government’s request to transfer a suit challenging the birth control mandate contained in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) to another federal court, saying the plaintiffs engaged in forum shopping in their choice of where to file the suit (M N Plastics Inc., et al. v. Kathleen Sebelius, et al., No. 13-919, D. D.C.; 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 157945).
