Dr. Khristine Eroshevich and Howard K Stern

Final Opinion on 2nd Appellate Court of California vs. Dr. Khristine Eroshevich and Howard K. Stern. I have not read it yet so will give my opinion after I read it and after I ask for on record statements.

March 28, 2018 Final Opinion from 2nd Appellate Court on California vs Stern (75)

For reference sake this article we had in October 2012 states most of the same things. That article was titled; Howard K Stern and Dr. Khristine Erosovich has Major loss as California Appeals Court Reverses and Remands back to Judge Robert Perry”. This latest opinion has added two more pages but so far as I read it is just the same as last year.

After I read through this I will be back with more to say! So stay tuned to Rose Speaks.com tonight as we unravel what this opinion actually means and share what you think it means after you read it!!!!!

Am I the only one who thinks California should just let this go and not keep spending tax payers money of a selected case to prosecute?

L Lin Wood

An article By Ed Silverman of Pharmalot asked that question in his article entitled “Did DaVita Admit Fraud In Suing A Whistleblower?” After reading this Google alert on the largest Medicare Fraud Case to date that has been made public, I spent the day on PACER reading more.

Thus over the next few days along with two other cases we are going to play catch-up with, we are going to dwell on this case. In short with Sequestration looming which is going to devastate our economy and our workforce especially federal employees, Medicare Fraud is big news. I believe we should pursue more of these cases and not cut “entitlements” to those of us who worked our whole life and paid our Social Security Insurance and Medicare Insurance payments every payday.

So here goes with more of what Ed Silverman had to say:

…Since a fair number of whistleblower cases pop up in the pharmaceutical industry, a recent development concerning a whistleblower and DaVita, the second-largest independent provider of dialysis services in the US, might be of interest. Consider the following….

Along with a nurse, a nephrologist and former medical director named Alon Vainer filed a whistleblower lawsuit in 2007 alleging DaVita deliberately wasted medicine in order to gain hundreds of millions of dollars in extra payments from Medicare.

NOTE: HUNDREDS OF MILLION IN ALLEGED FRAUD OF MEDICARE.

July 25, 2011 Fourth Amended Petition (433)

So how has DaVita responded? Besides denying the allegations, the dialysis provider filed its own lawsuit against Vainer. Now, consider the accusations: DaVita charged Vainer breached his contract, caused damages by not alerting DaVita to violations of the law and filed invoices falsely claiming he complied with his agreement, which he could not have done if he did not alert DaVita to any violations of the law.

Yes, you read that correctly. It would appear that DaVita officials are suing the whistleblower for not bringing their own purported fraud to their attention. Consequently, the DaVita team appears to somehow acknowledge that the fraud took place after all, even though they have denied this all along. This prompted an interesting response from the judge hearing the combined cases…

“The possible violations of law are the very same types of violations Vainer has alleged against DaVita in the underlying qui tam (whistleblower) complaint,” writes US District Court Judge Charles Pannell. “In essence, then, the defendants (DaVita) are seeking breach of contract damages for the plaintiff’s (whitleblowers) having not reported the alleged violations for which the defendants are themselves being sued.

“While the defendants have couched their counterclaim in contract terms, this claim is nonetheless the type of counterclaim barred in (False Claims Act) qui tam actions. In order to prove that Vainer breached the contract by not informing the defendants about violations of applicable law, the defendants (DaVita) would have to first prove that such violations actually occurred. If these violations occurred, then the defendants would be liable for them.”

…“While the parties have not identified and the court cannot find through its own research binding case law that addresses the scenario before the court, the court agrees with the plaintiffs and the United States that such an outcome would have a chilling effect on the FCA’s goal of encouraging whistleblowing on perpetrators of fraud against the federal government. The court concludes that the defendants’ counterclaim amounts to a claim for indemnification or contribution.”

So guess what???? US District Court Judge Charles Pannell DISMISSED THE SUIT DAVITA FILED AGAINST DR. ALON VAINER, my first thought is WTF was DaVita thinking, go figure.

Here is the full finding of Judge Charles Pannell:

Feb. 13, 2013 Order Granting Motion to Dismiss Countercliam Filed by DaVita (119)

So did a lot of corporate attorneys just screwed up or did L. Lin Wood, who left Bryan Cave LLC in 2007 to pursue this case, somehow trick the corporate lawyers into what appears to be a fatal error?

Never fear DaVita is just adding more lawyers, but my money is on the U. S. Government and the plaintiff’s attorneys, including Lin Wood and Stacy Evans are going to win this thing. If it goes to trial, which I doubt it will because of the media coverage this will bring, then Medicare Fraud at it’s worse will be out there for the U. S. taxpayer to see. My question is how does this happen without criminal charges being filed? When are we going to begin to hold the top executives of corporations liable criminally for ripping us the taxpayers off for Millions that we ended up paying?

Yes I read all day yesterday and into last night after reading this article, then more on PACER and yes we are going to cover this case as one of the biggest cases we have ever covered, because this case is important. Seldom is one of these cases made public so we can see via filings how corrupt some people are with what appears to be little concern to what is happening to our country and those of us receiving Medicare.

Was Ex-cop murdered by cops

Was Ex-cop murdered by cops

May 17, 1974, Symbionese Liberation Army, they too had a ‘manifesto’ and they too were incinerated by approximately 400 L.A.P.D. officers called to defend the city from these would be revolutionaries. At the time it was one of the biggest shootouts with the police, under the command of Captain Mervin King. About two hours into the shootout / siege and after many rounds of gunfire and ‘tear gas’ projectiles Note: I recall being down at the L.A. Coroners office back around that time and seeing one of the corpse with a gas mask melted to its face, this was one of the would be revolutionaries. Tear Gas was a ‘burner‘ back then too.

The Sheriff of San Bernardino County had one hell of a ‘Press Conference’ planned, everyone was there except for ‘smiling’ Bill Bratton. (Bill was busy giving interviews to anyone that would have him back East) There was the head of the FBI, head of feathers and scales, U.S. Marshals and of course Chief Beck, this was an all star cast. All was going well and you could see the stress on Sheriff John McMahon’s face, then the questions that he was not comfortable answering came and they came fast. ‘what are those burners‘, and the good Sheriff does the best he can to dance around it and all of a sudden McMahon looses one of his shoes in doing the ‘shuffle’. Sheriff McMahon immediately is realizing that he has to change the ‘dance card’, and he did however clumsily. Here comes a bigger guy with only one star on his collar, Deputy Chief Vovinski (sp) and he is doing just as bad as his boss was with that dam reporter and “ BURNERS”.

“Pyrotechnic does generate a lot of heat”….really, I am a believer! AKA “ Burners “, guess what, they work well at burning down a house that a cop killer is hiding and if you can’t get the bad guy to surrender, burn the ‘black SOB’ out, my words. “ I can tell you that it was not on purpose we did not intentionally burn down that cabin to get Mr. Dorner out” So stated Sheriff McMahon. Someone please look at his body language as he makes this statement. Note: Remember what happened to Mr. Dorner for being accused of telling a little ‘fib’, you sir are on NATIONAL television and not looking good!

Come on lets just say it as it is, someone gave the orders to burn that ‘black cop killing son of bitch out’…….see, it is easy to say, try whispering it quietly under your breath, and then try telling two or three and then prepare to practice in front of a bigger group of people. CNN is also working on cleaning up a audio slice, which one? “WE ARE GOING FORWARD WITH THE BURN“, really, did anyone share this with Sheriff McMahon, he sure did not look comfortable at even having those words drop from his mouth……

Call me old fashion but I will be dam’d if I can recall in my years at the police academy about how to shoot at old ladies with blinkers flashing on their BLUE Toyota P.U. while delivering papers? Also is their a different protocol for delivering newspapers or for a ‘food’ delivery. (102 bullet holes in the BLUE TOYOTA TACOMA, it was not the right color, the right model and they were not the correct race) I have also forgot over the years at what speed is safe to plow into a pickup truck of a potential suspect and how many rounds I should fire at the driver while ramming with my police car, again, can any cop get away with that type of ‘modern day’ police work? Or, is that a special kind of a task force and is there a ‘training manual’ for all of these tricky driving and shooting skills.

I was shocked that I was wrong at my thoughts that Christopher Dorner had long fled Big Bear and I was wondering why did he stay? However, I have to say I felt a little better when it was revealed that Christopher Dorner was close enough to the “command post “ in Big Bear to ask if anyone wanted some ‘hot chocolate’. That too became an ‘issue’ as to whether deputies had knocked on those doors so very close to them…..an explanation was given that ‘all’ were knocked on and checked for any ‘open’ doors….one occupant stated that they were home all day and ‘no one knocked’……Funny? I guess who would have thought that Dorner, ‘The Cop Killer’ was close enough to have really done some serious killing from his condo, within spitting distance of those in charge of capturing him! I have to be honest, I did not have any contacts of any kind up at Big Bear, my thoughts and comments were based on common sense and my past as a deputy and as a police officer.

What I guess everyone involved in the ‘attempt’ to capture the big black guy, who was also a cop killer need to remember one thing. Christopher Dorner lost his job for allegedly not ‘telling the truth’. Initially ‘cold’ tear gas was being used, and we are told of a “one shot“ and then flames, really? That dam radio communication, “WE ARE GOING FORWARD WITH THE BURN “……..why…pretty much says it all! Was the killer of two law officers he himself murdered, sometimes there is ‘justifiable homicide’, just thinking out loud.

L Lin Wood

In the Sheldon G. Adelson vs National Jewish Democratic Council famed libel attorney L. Lin Wood went to the heart of the Washington D. C. Anti-SLAPP statute, you know the ones that Perez Hilton is always being sued and then comes back and wins under.

Lin Wood has gone straight to the heart of the constitutionality of the Anti-SLAPP statutes, could we be seeing the making of a U. S. Supreme Court case on the Horizon?

I read the other day on Face Book where an attorney had just filed his first defamation case and was wishing for a Lin Wood play book. I had forgotten how much I enjoy reading Wood’s filings. At one time I had said Wood’s Court filings were woven with the beauty of a glistering cobweb of a spider on a winter’s morning. As I read through these filings I found myself thinking the same thing. There are ought to be a Lin Wood play book for Libel and Defamation suits, he is still the best there is out there.

The hearing was on Dec. 17th in New York Southern District Federal Court before the Honorable J. Paul Oetken at 2:30 PM and the winner of the filings and Oral Arguments is……………

After destroying the lives of two women, one famous, Kelly Rutherford, and one unknown Shellye Broughton who both lost their children to overseas fathers and possibly jurisdiction; Judge Theresa Beaudet has been booted out of L. A. family court! Can the U. S. even get the children back? Both mothers are now broke after fighting with Judge Theresa Beaudet, fighting a judge and not the fathers, how in American can this happen? I understand one of the children involved in this can’t even be found right now.

I have to say after reading and corresponding with both women the first thing that comes to my mind is “Ding Dong, the witch is………..”

We here at Rose Speaks.com are attempting to reach both women for their thoughts on this. However for now we have found an article on Desperate Exes.com that we will share. I do have to say, John J Nazarian is MUCH kinder to Judge Theresa Beaudet than I would be, but then we are not in the same state with Judge Beaudet.

The above thoughts are the Editorial opinion of Rose Turner and as such is copyrighted to Rose Speaks.com.

ARTICLE FROM DESPERATE EXES.

Did DESPERATEEXES.com play a part in the removal of Judge Theresa Beaudet? Well the ‘rumor’ out there is yes, maybe a little and how do I feel about that? We are not sitting here and cheering and ‘high-fiving’, just as I was not happy seeing judges that I thought were excellent transferred to other assignments……. Superior Court, Family law assignment is a tough and miserable job for any bench officer aka, A JUDGE.

Judge Theresa Beaudet, positively has a place in the Superior Court, may I suggest criminal courts? May I further be so bold to suggest sitting on death penalty cases? Judge Beaudet would be perfect, I could also close my eyes and see a lovely embroidered ‘grim reaper’, done in a darker black thread than the robe. Sure, were you would have to look closely and pay attention to see it clearly. Being that her Honor is tall, this could be very tasteful……and during holidays have another robe were the thread could be done in gold, gold and black, I could be onto something here!

Sending criminals to state prison would be a very appropriate punishment to separate‘bad’ people from their children…….

This current theory and attempt at dealing with young children and mothers has failed at least two that I personally am aware of! Is it my opinion that Judge Theresa Beaudet is a terrible human being, absolutely not.

My thoughts on Judge Theresa Beaudet is this, when I was going through the police academy I remember seeing ‘recruits’ that I knew would not be successful working in the field, (driving a radio car and dealing with bad guys). They were great recruits, running, constitutional law, driving course and all the rest of the academy. However the reality is simple, someone needs to work in the offices of police and sheriff’s departments handling other duties…..they are dressed just like all the other cops and deputies, and are wonderful at doing their ‘special’ jobs and serve an important function working as a ‘law enforcement officer’. I and all of us at DESPERATEEXES.com wish Judge Theresa Beaudet more success at her next assignment……..

Johnfucious understands that New Hampshire and Washington still have ‘hanging’, they hope and encourage you to use lethal injection, as a primary method, very nice! Nicer yet, Oklahoma offers firing squad only if lethal injection and electrocution are found unconstitutional….some judges have all the fun!

Comments Comments Off

A recent article by CNN’s By Scott Bronstein and Drew Griffin, CNN Special Investigations Unit, dated November 30, 2012 gives us insights into one of the largest Medicare/Medicaid FRAUD for millions of dollars case.

If you remember, L Lin Wood, is the lead attorney on this case. He felt strongly about this enough to leave the large legal firm he was with to not have any appearance of conflict of interest and took the gamble of setting up his own firm during the recession, and it appears his gamble was RIGHT!!!

(CNN) — It started with a chance conversation between a doctor and a nurse several years ago. But that brief encounter may end up exposing what could be one of the largest Medicare frauds in U.S. history.

Dr. Alon Vainer, a medical director at dialysis clinics in Georgia, was discussing clinic procedures with one of the nurses, Daniel Barbir. The two men say they saw something they believed was very wrong: expensive medicine, and lots of it, was being tossed in the trash. And the clinic workers were being told to do it, the two men say.

“When we sat down and started talking about it and getting into details, we actually realized exactly what was going on,” Vainer said.

The alleged waste was being carried out on a massive scale and, the nurse and the doctor said, they knew why almost immediately. They claim it was a way for their company, DaVita Inc., to defraud the government, overbill Medicare and Medicaid and make a fortune.

“We’re talking in the hundreds of millions, easily,” Vainer said. “The profit this company raked from those two schemes, only from those two drugs, was hundreds of millions of dollars.”

The allegations of massive fraud have implications for all Americans. The alleged fraud would have involved Medicare and Medicaid patients, whose medicine is paid for by U.S. taxpayers.

…DaVita Inc., based in downtown Denver, is one of the nation’s largest dialysis companies. The name means “Giving Life” in Italian. The company just moved into a brand new $101 million office tower, complete with fountains, gardens and even a suspended ski gondola inside for private meetings.

DaVita has grown in the past couple of years and now runs roughly 2,000 dialysis clinics across the country, which has added up to a $7 billion business. The dialysis empire is run by CEO Kent Thiry, who dresses like one of the Three Musketeers, has adopted a company slogan of ‘One for all and all for one’ and in company staff meetings leads his employees, who he calls villagers, in cheers of “DaVita!”

Thiry is reportedly paid an estimated $15 million a year, according to the Wall Street Journal, which has called him the best compensated CEO in Colorado.

Most of DaVita’s revenue comes from a single source: taxpayers. More than two-thirds of DaVita’s revenue comes from Medicare and Medicaid payments.

If Vainer and Barbir’s allegations are true, the company threw away hundreds of millions of dollars of medicine, and taxpayers paid for it.

…both men have filed a whistleblower lawsuit under the U.S. False Claims Act on behalf of the U.S. government, charging DaVita with massive Medicare fraud. They stand to make millions if DaVita is found guilty.

… the company’s attorney Kim Rivera did. When asked about the plaintiffs’ allegation that DaVita had come up with so-called schemes to throw away drugs and maximize profits, Rivera said: “Well that’s just wrong. If you look at the facts of the case, first of all, the doctors make the dosing decisions…. When you look at what the practices were — decisions being made by doctors, based on what was in the best interest of their patients. And they took into account a variety of things.

“You can’t just look at one issue. You have to look at things like infection control, what the patient’s going to do, how the patient’s going to do with particular doses. And so, during that entire time what we did, what the doctors did, was appropriate.”

But other companies, including DaVita’s main competitor, used smaller vials and smaller combinations at times, limiting what was thrown away.

L Lin Wood

…Plaintiffs’ attorneys Lin Wood and Marlan Wilbanks, who claim DaVita made as much as $800 million over-billing the government, say that DaVita’s defense won’t hold up in court.

“It’s not just the taxpayers that are the victims here, it’s the health care system,” Wood said.

“It doesn’t take a graduate degree to understand what’s going on here,” Wilbanks said. “This is just dishonesty.”

DaVita denies that and vows to fight the case in court. But earlier this year, while denying it did anything wrong, DaVita settled a similar case in Texas for $55 million.

Pat Burns, with the watchdog group “Taxpayers Against Fraud,” says the bigger problem is that even if a company gets caught cheating the government, the company executives never seem to face any punishment. Fines are paid and business continues as usual.

You need to read the full article on CNN, it well worth a read and why are these guys never charged criminally?

Just to catch up on the papers we have here are the two we have up and I will prowl PACER tonight.

July 25, 2011 Fourth Amended Petition (433)
March 2, 2012 Court Order Denying in Part Defendants Motion to Dismiss (359)

In my not so humble opinion, this is “entitlements” that the U. S. Department of Justice needs to prosecute and set examples to protect Medicare and Medicaid recipients not just save us money on. Millions would pay out how many legitimate claims in a year?

Now that the election is over I want to began a dialogue about one of the people I learned about named Sheldon Adelson. Imagine my surprise as I was using Google and PACER as my sources of information that I found that Sheldon Adelson who is an American business magnate, translated Billionaire. Adelson is the chairman and chief executive officer of the Las Vegas Sands Corporation, the parent company of Venetian Macao Limited which operates The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino and the Sands Expo and Convention Center. Adelson also owns the Israeli daily newspaper Israel HaYom. Adelson is listed in the Forbes 400 as the 12th wealthiest American. Adelson personal wealth is estimated to be $20.5 billion as of September 2012. WOW remands me of the case of billionaire magnate Kirk Kerkorian’s divorce and child custody case.

However on PACER I located a defamation suit where Sheldon Adelson is suing David A Harris, Marc R. Stanley and the National Jewish Democratic Council for maliciously false and defamatory statements that conveyed to the public that Adelson personally approved of profit from prostitution in integrated resorts owned and operated by Sands China Limited, a subsidiary of Las Vegas Sands Corp., of which Adelson is a major shareholder, Chairman and CEO.

However what grabbed my attention and caused me to download the papers was the lead attorney, Heavy Weight Defamation Specialist L. Lin Wood.

Rose Speaks.com will be following this case as well as the Beth Holloway case because many of our readers as well as the owners like the Motions and Memorandum of Law L. Lin Wood writes, and you can’t get better than when the rich with unlimited funds sues the rich, besides this case covers the ANTI-SLAPP statutes that gives people like Perez Hilton and TMZ some legal cover for the outrageous in states that have this statute. So get your popcorn out and let’s begin.

This case is based on the Citizens United Decision by the Supreme Court that allows Billionaires to give unlimited funds to a political candidate of their choice. In fact in the original filings Lin Wood alleges on his client’s behalf that the defendants’ goal in this lawsuit was to advance their perceived political interests by assassinating Mr. Adelson’s character, punishing him for exercising his right to make monetary contributions to political causes and candidates of his choice, and demeaning him within the Jewish community.

Wood argues on behalf of Adelson that Adelson supports open debate on issues of political concern, the defendants, in this case, made false and defamatory accusations, made with actual malice, and crossed the threshold from constitutionally-protected speech to defamation of a public figure designed to suppress speech for which they should be held accountable.

Although none of the parties lives in New York, Lin Wood states this court has jurisdiction because they all do business in New York and the court has “subject matter” jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1332.

I don’t know if this is court shopping as we sometime see parties do, for instant East Texas federal courts “specialty” is Trademarks, so you would be surprise at who files lawsuit in our small area for that “specialty in courts” I will check New York and see if there is a “specialty” there as well in defamation or if this is simply the most convenient for everyone.

It appears the main claim by Adelson is that as a philanthropist he has donated significant funds to charitable causes in the U. S. and abroad, one of them is the Dr. Miriam and Sheldon G. Adelson Clinic for Drug Abuse Treatment & Research in Tel Aviv, Israel, which was established more than 20 years ago with his wife, Dr. Miriam Adelson. They have clinics in Tel Aviv, Israel, Las Vegas, Nevada and in Macau.

Many of the hundreds of patients seen by these clinics (the Adelson Clinics), are women whose addiction has forced them into prostitution. The clinics work to support these women, provide them with drug abuse treatment and end their involvement in prostitution.

The Adelsons’ also fund a Medical Research Foundation that conducts, in part, some research into the biology of addictive diseases and the consequential impact on addiction treatment, among other fields.

In a July 3, 2012 article, defendanst David A. Harris and NJDC posted an article and an online petition asking others to support their demand that the Republican Party cease accepting monetary donation from Mr. Adelson. The Original complaint goes on to say the statements contained in the article are false and defamatory and convey the unmistakable message that Mr. Adelson engaged in the exploitation of prostitutes and is worthy of public scorn and contempt. This same author and JNDC posted another article with the same allegations and petition on July 11, 2012. The July 3, 2012 article titled “Tell Romney to Reject Adelson’s Dirty Money”

Adelson claims the only source of this information is a disgruntled former employee of Adelson, Steven C. Jacobs, who was terminated in 2010. The allegations are that Jacobs said he would try to get Adelson and has since then with false allegations in lawsuits as well as giving information to others like being the “only source” in two these articles, has continued to try and carry out his threats to ruin Adelson.
