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.
