NC Appeals Court to Hear 28-Year-Old Prisha Mosley’s Malpractice Suit on Sept. 29

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Sep 5

Summary

  • Sept. 29 oral arguments are set in North Carolina’s Court of Appeals after Prisha Mosley’s malpractice suit over hormones and a double mastectomy was dismissed by a trial court.
  • A 2025 North Carolina law extended the statute of limitations for medical malpractice claims tied to gender-transition treatment, giving Mosley a basis to challenge the dismissal as untimely.
  • Mosley, now 28, says doctors began prescribing testosterone when she was 17 and approved a double mastectomy at 18, while misleading her about changing sex and the effects of treatment.
  • An earlier judge had found her fraud allegations could have merit, but the case was later dismissed with prejudice in August 2025 even after lawmakers overrode Gov. Josh Stein’s veto to pass the new law.
  • The appeal could test how far North Carolina’s revised malpractice window reaches in detransitioner cases, which Mosley says have often been blocked before reaching a jury.
