Endoscopy Center: Judge Limits Doctor Spending
Posted by Michael in Decisions, District Court, High Profile on May 6th, 2008
Judge Allan Earl has ordered two doctors at the center of the Endoscopy Center lawsuits to obtain court approval before spending more than $50,000. The order came at the request of plaintiffs attorneys who fear assets may be spent before lawsuits can be adjudicated in the District Court.
More than 110 Endoscopy Center-related lawsuits have been filed since February 2008 following an investigation that alleged local endoscopy clinics reused syringes and vials of medicine. Judge Earl will reconsider his ruling at a hearing scheduled for 1:30 p.m. on August 26 in the courtroom of the Complex Litigation Center located at 333 Sixth Street, Las Vegas.

This morning District Court Judge Elizabeth Gonzalez sentenced Jerry Gomez to four to 10 years in the Nevada Department of Corrections. The sentencing came after Gomez entered a plea of guilty but mentally ill to one count of attempted murder with a deadly weapon. The charge stemmed from a March 2007 knife attack at a North Las Vegas grocery store, which left four people injured. The “guilty but mentally ill” plea will allow Gomez to be treated in prison for mental health problems.
