A Tucson wrongful death case is among several that judges from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will hear March 6 at the University of Arizona.
The case involves a woman who appealed a U.S. District Court summary judgment in favor of the federal government. Becky McCormick had filed a lawsuit alleging her mother died from multi-drug intoxication at Catalina Village Assisted Nursing.
Five other cases also will be heard by the three-judge panel of Marsha S. Berzon of San Francisco, Michael Daly Hawkins of Phoenix and Richard R. Clifton of Honolulu.
Oral arguments begin at 10 a.m. in the UA Law School’s Ares Auditorium, Room 146, 1201 E. Speedway Blvd.
Photo ID is required.
The 9th Circuit court hears appeals of cases decided by federal agencies and federal trial courts in nine Western states and two Pacific Island jurisdictions.
The court usually meets monthly in Seattle, San Francisco and Pasadena, Calif.; every other month in Portland; twice yearly in Honolulu; and once in Anchorage. It also takes its show on the road and hears cases at law schools in the states that comprise the district.
