    In Government Employees Insurance Company, (“GEICO”) v. Didier Demesmin, M.D., et al, No. 23-CV-6191 (ARR) (MMH), United States District Court, E.D. New York (October 23, 2024) GEICO sought to enjoin defendants Manuel A. Mendoza, D.C. and Mendoza Chiropractic Office PC (collectively the “Mendoza Defendants”) from pursuing certain “no-fault” insurance collection arbitrations or initiating new collections proceedings during the pendency of this lawsuit.

    BACKGROUND

    GEICO provides personal injury protection benefits on a “no-fault” basis, which means that, after an accident, insured drivers and their passengers are entitled to certain benefits for medically necessary healthcare services regardless of who was at fault.

    GEICO sued a group of healthcare providers who allegedly carried out an insurance scheme to obtain fraudulent no-fault benefit payments from GEICO. The USDC granted the motion based on its conclusion that (1) GEICO would experience irreparable harm absent a stay, (2) GEICO raised a serious question going to the merits, and (3) the balance of hardships tipped in GEICO’s favor.

    Subsequently, GEICO requested leave to file a second amended complaint to add allegations concerning the Mendoza defendants which was granted.

    In total, GEICO seeks recovery of more than $5.9 million in wrongfully obtained benefits payments from the three groups of defendants, as well as a declaration that it is not obligated to reimburse defendants for outstanding no-fault claims.

    After filing the second amended complaint, GEICO filed the present motion seeking an order staying all pending no-fault benefits arbitrations between GEICO and the Mendoza defendants and enjoining the Mendoza defendants from commencing new collections proceedings during the pendency of this action.

    DISCUSSION

    GEICO Will Experience Irreparable Harm Absent A Stay.

    Irreparable harm is certain and imminent harm for which a monetary award does not adequately compensate. the risk of inconsistent judgments in no-fault insurance disputes can constitute irreparable harm separate and apart from the expenditure of time and money spent on parallel proceedings. As with the parallel proceedings brought by the Demesmin and Khanan defendants, the risk of inconsistent outcomes is great enough to establish irreparable harm.

    GEICO established irreparable harm because permitting arbitrations to proceed will subject it to a risk of judgments that may be inconsistent with future judicial rulings.

    GEICO Has Shown At Least Some Serious Questions Going To The Merits, And The Balance Of Hardships Tips In Its Favor.

    GEICO’s amended complaint details a complex scheme of fraudulent billing and referrals among a network of chiropractic providers. GEICO’s allegations concerning the Mendoza defendants’ role are well developed through numerous examples of charges billed without proper documentation or under suspicious circumstances and a table of more than 45,000 suspect claims.

    The balance of hardships also tips in GEICO’s favor because the Mendoza defendants have not established any hardship, beyond a delay in reimbursement. Because the defendants will presumably be entitled to collect interest on their pending claims if they prevail, the delay does not outweigh the risk of inconsistent outcomes faced by GEICO.

    A Stay Does Not Violate The Anti-Injunction Act.

    The Anti-Injunction Act (“AIA”) prohibits federal courts from enjoining proceedings in state court “except as expressly authorized by Act of Congress, or where necessary in aid of its jurisdiction, or to protect or effectuate its judgments.” 28 U.S.C. § 2283. The AIA does not, however, limit the court’s authority to enjoin ongoing private arbitration proceedings or the court’s authority to enjoin defendants from initiating future state court proceedings.

    GEICO’s motion was granted and a preliminary injunction was issued: staying all pending no-fault insurance collection arbitrations that have been Commenced against GEICO by or on behalf of the Mendoza defendants, pending the disposition of GEICO’s claims in this action, and enjoining the Mendoza defendants and anyone acting on their behalf from commencing new no-fault arbitrations and litigations against GEICO pending the disposition of GEICO’s claims in this action.

    ZALMA OPINION

    The USDC, and other courts dealing with No-Fault auto insurance claims, has acted to help insurers defeat attempted insurance fraud – a crime in each state like New Jersey – which became necessary because state prosecutors seemed to ignore the crimes reported to them by insurers like GEICO. It is essential that insurers be proactive against fraud to shame the insurance fraud investigators in each state to do their job and prosecute the fraud perpetrators. Every insurer, faced with such fraud, should emulate GEICO.

  • Judicial Watch sues Oregon to force state to remove ineligible voters from voter rolls
    https://justthenews.com/nation/states/judicial-watch-sues-oregon-force-state-remove-ineligible-voters-voter-roll
    The lawsuit targets Oregon Secretary of State LaVonne Griffin-Valade, and claims the state has the "highest known inactive registration rate of any state in the nation," according to Judicial Watch.

    Conservative watchdog Judicial Watch on Wednesday announced a lawsuit against the state of Oregon, that would force it to remove ineligible voters from its voter rolls, as mandated by the National Voter Registration Act.

    The voting act requires states to make a "reasonable effort" to remove voters who have either died or changed residences from their voter rolls. The voters are removed if they fail to respond to address confirmation notices, and do not vote in two consecutive federal general elections.

    The lawsuit targets Oregon Secretary of State LaVonne Griffin-Valade, and claims the state has the "highest known inactive registration rate of any state in the nation," according to a Judicial Watch news release. The lawsuit alleges that 29 of the state's 36 counties have removed few or no voter registrations, and that the state has registration rates exceeding 100%.

    “Dirty voter rolls can mean dirty elections,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a statement. “Oregon has among the dirtiest voting rolls in America and needs to clean them up ASAP!”

    Judicial Watch has led other efforts to clean up voter rolls in New York, California, Pennsylvania, Colorado, North Carolina, Kentucky and Ohio. Altogether the efforts have resulted in the purging of up to four million ineligible voters, the group said.

  • Trump Entered The Lions Den, Kamala Dared To Follow.
    No one in the history of civilization has been attacked as relentlessly, by such a phalanx of powerful forces, and for as long as Donald Trump. No other person in history could have withstood that onslaught. The most obvious cause for their hatred is that Trump represents a true existential threat to them. He has made no secret of his intentions to do everything he can to destroy the deep-state, wokism, socialism, bloated government, globalism & incompetence. Trump’s enemies have been sure they’ve rid themselves of their accursed nemesis, the two impeachments, the countless lawsuits, assassination attempts, corrupt MSM Buttpuppets & Each time Trump was not only still standing, he had more supporters than ever. All their desperate, incompetent attempts blew up in their faces like Hezb’allah pagers.
