Chapman Law Group has filed a petition in the United States Supreme Court for a Writ of Certiorari on Behalf of Dr. George Naum a Physician Convicted for mere violations of the standard of care by a judge that eroded the standard of proof needed to convict to mere malpractice. The 4th Circuit upheld that standard setting a dangerous precedent that will certainly harm providers and their patients.
If the court grants the petition and permits a hearing this will be the first opportunity the Supreme Court has to weigh in on this standard since 1975 (United States v. Moore) and we as a medical and pain community need to let our voices be heard so that the court understands how vital their decision will be for the millions of Americans suffering and the doctors who are afraid to treat their patients based on unclear regulations and standards.
Adherence to the United States v. Moore standard requiring proof that a physician engaged in criminal drug trafficking would be the most widespread and impactful benefit to the medical and pain community in the last 15 years. It’s time to roll back aggressive DOJ tactics, prosecutions based on a difference of medical opinion, and paid experts regurgitating their version of the “standard of care” on the stand.
The Supreme Court allows organizations and interested parties to file Amicus Briefs in support of a petition. This means that you can file a well drafted scholarly petition to voice your interest and tell the court why they MUST weigh in on this issue and settle it once and for all. But please note: in this forum a petition that does not conform to the rules, is informal or otherwise not up to the standards expected by the court may actually damage our cause. Mr. Chapman recommends that you speak to an attorney before engaging in this process.
I’ve read through the requirements for an amicus brief, and I recommend that people get together and create one brief for multiple pain patients. I have the requirements on the new page for amicus curiae briefs. Take a look at it. If people want to work together to create one as a group, I’m happy to be the connection point to get together. When you’ve written a brief, send it to me. I’ll post it here, and other people can join in. It looks like every brief has to have an attorney signed on to it.
If you have contacts with interested groups please get his petition in their hands to give them an opportunity to share their voice. If you are interested in drafting and filing a brief please consider doing so. The case is at the Cert stage and according to the rules we have until June 22, 2021 to file Amicus Briefs. Chapman Law Group will obtain blanket consent for filing Amicus Briefs from the Government.
