California District Court Orders Financial Disclosure in Corizon Health, Inc. Suit
California District Court Orders Financial Disclosure in Corizon Health, Inc. Suit
On March 29, 2014, the United States District Court for the Northern District of California ordered for the plaintiffs in response to a joint letter between the parties, disputing the timeliness and extent of financial disclosures in a deliberate indifference suit. Plaintiffs, pursuant to a civil rights judgment against defendants petitioned the court for financial records of defendants’ healthcare provider, Corizon Health, Inc. In a letter to the court, Corizon stipulated that it would provide responsive financial records from a single year, but only if the case survived summary judgment.
The court identified the issue as the consonance between plaintiffs’ clear right to disclosure of defendants’ financial information in furtherance to obtaining a just resolution of legal claims, and defendants’ right to privacy. Based on precedent from the Northern District and other California courts, the court ordered Corizon to produce two years of financial records and more recent such documents as they become available. See: M. H. v. County of Alameda, U.S.D.C. (N.D. Cal. 2014), Case No. 3:11-cv-02868.
