U.S. asks court to force J&J executive to testify

By Erin Geiger Smith

(Reuters) - The federal government has asked a court to force Johnson & Johnson executive Alex Gorsky to testify in a lawsuit involving allegations of kickbacks and Medicaid fraud.

The U.S. Department of Justice said in Massachusetts federal court filing on Wednesday that Gorsky has "relevant knowledge" concerning the marketing of the anti-psychotic drug Risperdal to long-term care pharmacy Omnicare, Inc and about "allegedly illegal payments J&J made to induce Omnicare to purchase and recommend" the drug.

The government sued the company in January 2010.

In February, J&J announced that Gorsky will take over as the company's chief executive, effective April 26. During the late 1990s and early 2000s, the period covered by the government's lawsuit, Gorsky served as vice president of sales and marketing and then president of J&J's Janssen pharmaceuticals unit.

J&J has refused to make Gorsky available to testify, saying he has "no reasonable connection to the subject matter" of the lawsuit, court filings show.

The government's suit is not the only legal action J&J has faced regarding Risperdal. Earlier this week, an Arkansas state judge ordered the company to pay a $1.1 billion penalty after a jury found it guilty of using fraudulent tactics to sell the drug. In January, the company said it would pay $158 million to settle a Texas lawsuit accusing it of improperly marketing Risperdal to patients in the state's Medicaid program.

J&J did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The case is U.S. v. Johnson & Johnson, et al., U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, No. 07-10288.

AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - Representatives of Johnson & Johnson and the state of Texas will head back to court on Tuesday over a $158 million settlement agreement announced in January involving the drug Risperdal, a spokesman for Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott said on Sunday.

"As far as we knew, we had a solid settlement," said Tom Kelley, Abbott's spokesman. "We'll have more information on Tuesday about what has caused (Johnson & Johnson) some concerns."

A spokeswoman for Johnson & Johnson declined to comment about the hearing before state District Judge John Dietz in Austin.

Johnson & Johnson said in January that it would pay $158 million to settle a Texas lawsuit that accused the drugmaker of improperly marketing its Risperdal anti-psychotic drug to state residents on the Medicaid health program for the poor.

The settlement would fully resolve all Risperdal-related claims in Texas, the company said at the time. The agreement -- the largest Medicaid fraud recovery ever in Texas -- was specific to the Lone Star State and did not involve other state or federal Risperdal litigation.

The deal marked the first Risperdal settlement with any U.S. state. It settled claims brought by Texas in 2004 involving alleged Medicaid overpayments during the years 1994 to 2008. The settlement was to be paid to the original plaintiff, his attorneys, the state of Texas and the federal government, which provides Medicaid reimbursements, the company said in January.

Tom Melsheimer, a lawyer for plaintiff Allen Jones, said on Sunday that the hearing on Tuesday is "just to finalize the settlement."

But Jones, a whistleblower on J&J's marketing practices, said the sticking point is that Johnson & Johnson wants to reduce the amount of the settlement that he and his attorneys receive.

(Reuters) - U.S. securities regulators accused Wells Fargo & Co on Friday of repeatedly ignoring its subpoenas for documents in connection with a probe into the bank's $60 billion sale of mortgage-backed securities.

The Securities and Exchange Commission's filing in a San Francisco federal court seeks to compel the fourth largest U.S. bank to hand over documents. The SEC said it has issued several subpoenas since September.

A Wells Fargo spokeswoman called the SEC's action "inappropriate" and pledged the bank would "vigorously defend itself in court" against the SEC action.

"Wells Fargo has extensively cooperated in the commission's investigation and believed it had an understanding with the SEC staff with regard to the outstanding document requests; the filing of this action violates that understanding," said ...

Ernst & Young suit over Lehman heads to state court

By Jessica Dye

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A lawsuit from New York's attorney general accusing accounting firm Ernst & Young LLP of helping to hide financial problems at Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. has been sent from federal court to the New York state court where it was originally filed.

U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan said in a ruling Thursday that the lawsuit, which alleges that Ernst & Young conspired with Lehman in a scheme to shuffle tens of billions of dollars from its balance sheets in order to boost the appearance of Lehman's liquidity, does not fall under federal jurisdiction.

"This action therefore will be remanded whence it came," Kaplan wrote, referring to the Manhattan state court where the lawsuit was initially filed by New York's then-Attorney General Andrew Cuomo.

The lawsuit is one of the first major government legal action stemming from Lehman's 2008 bankruptcy filing. In it, New York prosecutors cite violations of the Martin Act, a 90-year-old state law that gives regulators broad enforcement authority over securities fraud.

After the lawsuit was filed in December 2010, Ernst & Young moved it to federal court in Manhattan. While Cuomo's successor, Eric Schneiderman, initially opposed the move, the state later dropped its objections.

The case has been consolidated with 47 others related to the Lehman collapse. Sending it back to state court may make the discovery process less efficient, Kaplan wrote.

"But the court nonetheless has come to the view that remand of this action is the only course open to it in the present posture of this case," Kaplan wrote.

The lawsuit seeks to recoup the $150 million in fees that Ernst & Young earned as Lehman's auditor from 2001 until its bankruptcy filing in 2008.

Ernst & Young has denied it acted improperly and said that Lehman's accounting complied with national standards. In his ruling, Kaplan noted that whether Ernst & Young complied with national accounting standards was the sole federal-law question in the attorney general's lawsuit.

But Kaplan found that the state "may obtain all the relief it seeks" without reaching the question of whether Ernst & Young violated those standards.

"We are disappointed by the court's ruling, and we are reviewing it," Ernst & Young spokesman Charlie Perkins said in a statement. "We will continue to vigorously defend ourselves in the matter."

A spokesman for the New York Attorney General did not immediately return a request for comment Thursday.

Court delays AT&T merger hearing

(Reuters) - The judge hearing the Justice Department's challenge of AT&T Inc's plan to buy Deutsche Telekom AG's T-Mobile USA unit has postponed a status conference set for this week until early December, the court said in an order issued on Monday.

Judge Ellen Huvelle, who is hearing the case, said in a brief order that she was putting off a hearing set for Wednesday until December 9 "due to the court's scheduling conflict."

AT&T has been pressing for a quick trial to resolve the Justice Department's antitrust challenge to its $39 billion deal. The trial is scheduled to start February 13.

The Federal Communications Commission, which also must approve the deal, gave it a serious blow last week as the head of the communications regulator, Chairman Julius Genachowski, sent a draft order to fellow commissioners citing FCC staff findings that the deal would significantly diminish competition and lead to large job losses.

AT&T argues the deal will accelerate its expansion of high-speed wireless service to nearly all Americans.

The case is United States v. AT&T et al, U.S. District Court, District of Columbia, No. 11-1560.

Investor can sue S&P over Lehman: German court

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - A German regional court has opened the door to an investor law suit against credit rating agency Standard & Poor's over its assessment of Lehman Brothers securities before the collapse of the U.S. investment bank.

The Frankfurt higher regional court rejected a lower court ruling that had found the court had no jurisdiction.

"The case will be sent back to the lower Frankfurt court for action and a decision," a spokeswoman for the higher regional court said on Monday.

The German court has jurisdiction because S&P has assets in Germany and the person bringing the suit is a German resident, the higher regional court said in a statement.

German law firm KWAG brought the suit on behalf of an investor who had bought 30,000 euros ($40,000) worth of Lehman securities based on a favorable S&P rating, a spokesman for KWAG said. The ruling could open the door to further suits, he said.

Lehman Brothers collapsed in September 2008.
