FENSTERSTOCK, P.C. Defeats Motion to Dismiss Action Involving Injectable Opioid Prescriptions; Case Proceeds to Trial

New York, New York–October 7, 2019–Fensterstock, P.C. successfully defeated Defendant Dr. David A. Greuner’s post Note of Issue motion to dismiss in the New York Supreme Court action captioned Liberatore v. Greuner, Index No. 162511/2015.  Defendant’s motion sought, among other things, dismissal of the action or sanctions against Plaintiff.  The Honorable Shlomo S. Hagler denied Defendant’s motion to dismiss the complaint and for sanctions against Plaintiff entirely.

The case involves allegations of fraud by a former patient against her treating doctor concerning the overprescription of injectable opioids, which allegedly cost Plaintiff hundreds of thousands of dollars in payments in the form of cash, credit cards, checks, jewelry, designer clothing, personal belongings, first class plane ticket upgrades to Aspen, and use of Plaintiff’s car to take joyrides with his girlfriend to the Hamptons, which ultimately drove Plaintiff into filing for bankruptcy.  The case will proceed to trial.
