U.S. District Judge Benjamin Beaton said that it he doesn’t believe there 'is much sense or utility in a court trying to force a case like this to persist when the (DOJ) doesn’t want it to and the city doesn’t resist that position.'

 “This court should dismiss the case against (the woman) and rule that citing an unhoused person simply because they needed to sit down during early labor is cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth Amendment.”
