Netro v. Greater Baltimore Medical Center, Inc.

(United States Fourth Circuit) - Affirming the district court's determination that a hospital did not fail to pay funds owed Medicate for the treatment of the plaintiff's mother, despite being a bit late in their payment, meaning that the plaintiff was not entitled to double damages under the Medicare Secondary Payer Act.

Metzgar v. KBR Inc

(United States Fourth Circuit) - Affirmed in part; vacated in part. US military personnel, civilian contractors and surviving family members brought suit for injuries allegedly caused by defendant’s waste management and water services across Iraq and Afghanistan. The district court concluded that the suit implicated a political question that was barred and that the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) preempts the Servicemember’s claims. The appellate court stated that federal courts will not examine cases involving political questions because that would encroach on prerogatives of Congress and the President, Baker v. Carr, 369 US 186. Because the case was barred as a political question, the issue of the FTCA preemption need not have been decided. The appellate court vacated the FTCA ruling and affirmed the political question ruling.




me

Ohio Valley Environmental v. Scott Pruitt

(United States Fourth Circuit) - Reversed. Several environmental groups brought suit against the EPA for failing to perform duties under the Clean Water Act as to impaired waters in West Virginia. The district court found that plaintiffs have standing to bring the claim and granted summary judgment in their favor. The appellate court agreed that plaintiffs have standing, but reversed the grant of summary judgment. The appellate court reasoned that the doctrine of constructive submission under 33 USC section 1313(d)(2) which would have triggered the EPA’s duty to act was overcome by West Virginia’s partial compliance and agreement to do more. Therefore constructive submission would not apply and summary judgment improper.




me

US v. Christian Allmendinger

(United States Fourth Circuit) - Vacating and remanding the district court's finding that defendant did not face ineffective assistance of counsel where his attorney failed to raise a significant and obvious issue on appeal of his conviction for money laundering and fraudulent investment crimes. The issue would likely have resulted in a reversal of his money laundering conviction and the Fourth Circuit remanded for further proceedings.

Editorial: Ethics in the time of coronavirus

The world has been thrust into an unprecedented time. The White House has estimated that 100,000 to 240,000 Americans could die in the coming months as a new virus sweeps through the nation and that’s if we implement and execute the recommendations from our doctors and scientists. About 700,000 jobs were lost in the U.S. in March as mayors and governors across the nation responded responsibly by forcing all but the most essential businesses to close.

Editorial: Trump is playing a disgusting political game with our lives

President Donald Trump is treating life-saving medical equipment as emoluments he can dole out as favors to loyalists. It’s the worst imaginable form of corruption -- playing political games with lives. For the good of this nation during what should be a time of unity he must stop.
