United States Tenth Circuit

Minors possess a constitutional right to informational privacy. Entry of a preliminary injunction in a challenge to a state's reporting statute is vacated where the district court abused its discretion in entering the preliminary injunction against enforcement of the statute in the context of minors' voluntary sexual activity with age-mates.
