The Supreme Court of the United States on March 1, 2022, heard an appeal by two doctors, including Kramer Levin client Xiulu Ruan, who were convicted of overprescribing medications such as oxycodone and fentanyl. They are serving 20-year-plus sentences in federal prison. The Court is considering whether their trials were unfair because they were prevented from mounting a “good faith” defense that they did not intend any harm to patients. A favorable ruling could lead to new trials or the dismissals of charges against them. A decision is expected by late June.
