Gajewski v. State of North Dakota (2010) is a circumcision lawsuit from the state of North Dakota.

Mervin Gajewski, 78, was in a Watford City hospital when he heard the blood-curdling screams of a newborn boy who was suffering the extreme pain of an unanesthetized, medically-unnecessary, non-therapeutic circumcision. He later decided to sue the State of North Dakota in an effort to get these cruel procedures halted in North Dakota. The court, however, ruled that a 78-year-old man was not representative of newborn infant intact boys so he lacked standing to sue and his case was dismissed.[1]

Appeal

Gajewski appealed the dismissal to the Supreme Court of North Dakota, however the dismissal was upheld.[2] [3]

The case was dismissed based on procedural issues. The merits of the case were never considered by any court.
