☆ 3M seeks to revive bankruptcy to resolve military earplug mass tort
  + stars: | 2023-06-13 | by ( Dietrich Knauth | Industry Insight | How Law Firms Calculate Greenhouse Gas Emissions | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Jeffrey Graham in Indianapolis had dismissed Aearo Technologies' bankruptcy on Friday, finding that it was "fatally premature." Despite the "staggering" number of earplug lawsuits, Aearo has significant financial support from 3M and enjoys a "greater degree of financial security than warrants bankruptcy protection," Graham ruled. 3M and Aearo had argued that the earplug litigation had spiraled out of control and could be resolved only in bankruptcy. The case is Aearo Technologies LLC, U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Indiana, No. Read more:US judge rejects 3M effort to resolve earplug lawsuits in bankruptcy3M foes act fast to capitalize on J&J’s talc bankruptcy defeat3M earplug bankruptcy creates "corrosive" tension with other courts, attorney saysBankruptcy as MDL escape hatch?

A tweet reads, in part, “Lashawn Thompson (below) died after being devoured by insects and brutalized for 3 months in a filthy cell in the Atlanta jail” (archive.ph/X22vW). He died at the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta in September 2022. A search for the photo on the right leads to news reports of a separate incident at an Indiana jail in 2021. The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office didn’t respond to Reuters requests for comment. The posts share photos of inmates who died in separate incidents at jails in Atlanta and Indiana.
☆ Veterans Suing Over 3M Earplugs Want Bankruptcy Case Tossed
  + stars: | 2023-02-03 | by ( Bob Tita | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
3M Co. has said that its military earplugs are safe if service members receive proper training on using them. Lawyers for veterans suing 3M Co. over its earplugs have asked a federal judge to dismiss the bankruptcy filing of a 3M subsidiary that would shield the industrial conglomerate from court trials. The motion for dismissal filed late Thursday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Indiana followed a federal appeals court ruling this week that tossed out a chapter 11 filing by LTL Management LLC, a company created by Johnson & Johnson in 2021. J&J had transferred its talcum-powder-related liabilities to LTL, which then filed for bankruptcy, blocking plaintiffs from bringing additional lawsuits.
☆ Biden to announce six new judicial nominees

President Joe Biden will announce six new judicial nominees in his final batch of selections in 2022, a White House official told NBC News, as it looks to two more years of reshaping the federal courts under an expanded Democratic Senate majority. The nominees are for federal district courts — one in Indiana, two in New Jersey and three in California. The White House said they’ll be among the first nominees sent to the Senate early in the new year, when another session begins. Democrats gained a seat in the 2022 election and may have an easier time processing judges in 2023 and 2024. The new round will bring Biden’s total announced judicial nominees to 150, the White House said.
☆ Law firm Kirkland cleared to represent bankrupt 3M earplug subsidiary

A conflict could arise in the future, if, for example, Aearo and 3M disagreed about the terms of a future settlement, Graham said. If that happened, Kirkland could face disqualification, loss of fees, or even potentially the dismissal of Aearo's bankruptcy case, according to the judge. Kirkland has defended 3M in the MDL, and it represents Aearo in the bankruptcy case that was meant to spur a settlement of the earplug lawsuits. The plaintiffs and the U.S. Department of Justice's bankruptcy watchdog sought to disqualify Kirkland from representing Aearo in the bankruptcy, saying it could not faithfully serve both Aearo and 3M. The case is Aearo Technologies LLC, U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Indiana, No.
☆ A second attempt to block Biden's student-debt cancellation lands at the Supreme Court
  + stars: | 2022-11-01 | by ( Oma Seddiq | Juliana Kaplan | Ayelet Sheffey | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Two student loan borrowers, represented by the conservative Pacific Legal Foundation, are asking the Supreme Court to step in and block student loan relief. The borrowers claim they will face a hefty tax bill for unwanted relief. The suit was dismissed by a lower court and now an appeal is headed to the high court. "The claim is baseless for a simple reason: No one will be forced to get debt relief. Because opponents of the debt relief plan are trying anything they can to stop this program that will provide needed relief to working families."
☆ What the first legal challenge to derail Biden's student loan forgiveness plan means for borrowers
  + stars: | 2022-09-28 | by ( Annie Nova | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
A lawyer working for a conservative legal group this week brought the first legal challenge to President Joe Biden's sweeping plan to cancel up to $20,000 in student debt for millions of Americans. "Nothing about loan cancellation is lawful or appropriate," Frank Garrison, an attorney at Pacific Legal Foundation, said in a complaint filed in federal court in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana. Garrison is asserting that he could be harmed by Biden's loan forgiveness in the form of a tax bill. Canceled student debt can be considered taxable income. Currently, Garrison is pursuing a government program that leads to tax-free debt cancellation, known as public service loan forgiveness, but he says Biden's plan could now cause him to get a $1,000 state tax bill.
