[QUOTE="Judge slams novartis, post: 5495498"][SIZE=6][B]Judge Slams Pretrial ‘Squabbles’ In $3.35B Novartis FCA Suit[/B][/SIZE] By [B]Jacob Batchelor[/B] New York (August 4, 2015, 5:44 PM ET) -- The New York federal judge overseeing a $3.35 billion False Claims Act case against [URL='http://www.law360.com/companies/novartis-ag']Novartis Pharmaceutical Corp[/URL]. had harsh words Monday for attorneys positioning for the upcoming trial, warning she would not referee their scheduling “squabbles.” In a letter, U.S. District Judge Colleen McMahon sternly told both government and Novartis lawyers that she purposely ignored a series of correspondence regarding the number of witnesses to appear at a trial scheduled to begin in November, stating both sides would be on the clock to finish the proceedings before Christmas. The judge told attorneys that they had all been over these issues already, and lengthening the trial was not an option. “I did not overlook the letters,” she said. “I ignored them. I am not going to referee these sorts of squabbles.” Judge McMahon, who will oversee a trial to determine whether Novartis paid illegal kickbacks to pharmacies to recommend iron-reduction drug Exjade and transplant drug Myfortic, will “not be in this hemisphere” come Christmas, according to the letter. When she returns from abroad after the Martin Luther King Jr. Day weekend, she must preside over a long, multidefendant criminal trial that “takes precedence over other matters,” she said. In short, when time runs out at the trial — currently slated for November and December — each side “will be done.” How attorneys figure out dividing up witness time is their problem, according to the letter. “Enjoy the rest of your summer,” she said.[/QUOTE]
