ALBANY — State Attorney General Letitia James on Wednesday filed a lawsuit against the owners and operators of four nursing homes in Queens, the Bronx, White Plains County and in Buffalo accusing the homes of fraud that harmed, neglected and humiliated residents.

“Suffering was immense, and relentless … inhumane behavior,” James said Tuesday. She said the civil action was a warning to all nursing home operators “to get their house in order.”

James claims the company, Centers for Care LLC doing business as Centers for Health Care, misused more than $83 million in Medicaid funds through “multiple fraudulent schemes.” The

COLUMBIA, SC (WIS/Gray News) – The attorneys for the family of Gloria Satterfield, the Murdaugh family’s housekeeper, responded to Alex Murdaugh’s defense team’s attempt to vacate a $4.3 million judgment awarded to the family.

In court documents filed Tuesday, the Satterfield family’s attorneys called the defense team’s latest filing “absurd and nonsensical.”

Donald Trump has faced an incredible number of lawsuits in his life. In 2016 USA Today found that Trump and his businesses were involved in at least 3,500 legal actions in federal and state courts over the three decades before that.

The Supreme Court has been asked to determine this very question and the justices will once again attempt to define the boundaries of the Clean Water Act. Depending on the outcome, certain federal protections for wetlands could either be washed away or shored up.

More than a dozen states are calling for a federal recall of Hyundai and Kia vehicles due to a lack of anti-theft features.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta and 17 other attorneys general on Thursday sent a letter asking the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for a recall of “unsafe” Hyundai and Kia vehicles manufactured between 2011 and 2022. They accuse the automakers of failing to include anti-theft devices that were standard “in almost every other new car manufactured during that time period.”

“The bottom line is, Kia’s and Hyundai’s failure to install standard safety features on many of their

Opening the Floodgates: Axon Enterprises, Inc. v. FTC and the Weakening of Public Power

Keenen McMurray

In November of 2022, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments on a pair of consolidated cases including Axon Enterprise, Inc. v. Federal Trade Commission[1] and Securities and Exchange Commissionv. Cochran.[2] These cases concern whether challenges to the adjudication processes of administrative agencies can properly be heard in a federal district court, without first going through the agencies’ respective processes.[3] This administrative agency adjudication process is established by the Administrative Procedure Act (“APA”), which is a federal act that governs the procedures of
