Double Dipping in Opioid Lawsuits

The plaintiffs bar never met a business it wouldn’t sue, and now the lawyers are using government authority to pursue private interests. In their latest business model, trial lawyers are hired by state attorneys general to help prosecute public lawsuits then use it to the advantage of their private lawsuits. Kudos to one company for pushing back. In December pharmacy benefit manager OptumRx filed a motion in federal court in Ohio to disqualify Motley Rice, a South Carolina plaintiffs firm suing the company in multidistrict opioid litigation. Motley has been retained by state attorneys general and city prosecutors in Washington, D.C., Hawaii and Chicago to handle the government’s litigation, but it continues to represent private clients in related litigation.Copyright ©2024 Dow Jones &...

Woman sentenced to work fast food job over Chipotle tantrum

An angry Ohio woman who threw a burrito bowl at a Chipotle manager was sentenced by a judge to serve two months working in a fast food joint. According to Cleveland.com, Municipal Court Judge Timothy Gilligan told Rosemary Hayne she could either spend three months behind bars for assaulting the worker, or she could spend just one month in jail in addition to two months of walking 20 hours a week in her victim’s shoes. Hayne chose the latter, though it’s unclear where she’ll spend her two months working. The judge admonished Hayne for acting like she was on the “Real Housewives.” “You didn’t get your burrito bowl the way you like it and this is how you respond?” Gilligan asked. The defendant reportedly apologized for her behavior, which was triggered by the appearance of her food. Gilligan...
