Drug company attorneys seek to disqualify federal judge

Attorneys for eight drug distributors, pharmacies and retailers facing trial next month for their alleged roles in the opioid crisis want to disqualify the federal judge overseeing their cases, saying he has shown bias in his effort to obtain a multibillion-dollar global settlement.

The attorneys wrote that Polster has made comments during hearings, media interviews and public forums about the importance of getting help to governments struggling to contain a crisis that has killed 400,000 people nationally since 2000. Next month’s trial on behalf of the Ohio counties of Summit, which includes Akron; and Cuyahoga, which includes Cleveland; are viewed by Polster as a bellwether that could shape how other lawsuits are resolved. Several drug manufacturers have settled with the counties ahead of trial.
