Valpo Lawyer Suspended 1 Day After Conviction

0

IL for www.theindianalawyer.com

The Indiana Supreme Court on Wednesday suspended a Valparaiso attorney who faced multiple criminal charges of violating protective orders and was convicted of one count in a bench trial a day earlier.

Justices ordered the suspension of Timothy E. Vojslavek for noncooperation with the Disciplinary Commission’s investigation of a grievance against him. The order says he failed to reply to an Aug. 15 order to show cause why he should not be suspended for noncooperation.

The order did not indicate the nature of Vojslavek’s alleged misconduct, but online trial court records show his suspension was ordered one day after Vojslavek was convicted of Class A misdemeanor invasion of privacy in a bench trial in Porter Superior Court.

Vojslavek was charged between October and December 2016 with four misdemeanor criminal invasion of privacy counts, Porter County online court records show. Porter Superior Judge Jeffrey Thode found Vojslavek guilty of one count Wednesday and sentenced him to 180 days, all but eight of which were suspended to probation, with credit for time served.

The remaining counts against Vojslavek were dismissed, according to Thode’s court. Details of the criminal charges were not immediately available Thursday.

A message on the telephone number listed for Vojslavek said the voice mailbox was full and could not accept new messages.

Reversal: Appeals court tosses admission of OWI breath test

0

IL for www.theindianalawyer.com

The Indiana Court of Appeals reversed a man’s operating a vehicle while intoxicated conviction when it found the admission of his chemical breath test was an abuse of discretion.

In March 2017, Brian Conner was arrested after Indianapolis Metropolitan Police administered a series of field sobriety tests on him at a sobriety checkpoint and found him to be intoxicated. Police then took Conner to a local police station and administered a breath test using the Intox EC/IR II machine.

During the first Intox test, Conner blew too hard and registered a “maximum flow exceeded” message on the instrument. A second test showed that Connor had an alcohol concentration equivalent to 0.097 gram of alcohol per 210 liters of breath.

Conner was ultimately convicted of Class C misdemeanor operating a vehicle with an alcohol concentration equivalent to at least 0.08 gram of alcohol but less than 0.15 gram of alcohol per 210 liters of breath. At trial, Conner moved to suppress the results of the Intox chemical breath test, arguing that the results were inadmissible because the officer administered the test using a procedure not approved by the Department of Toxicology.

The Indiana Court of Appeals agreed in Brian Harold Connor v. State of Indiana, 18A-CR-442, finding the trial court abused its discretion in admitting the test results because the department had not designated the proper procedure to be followed when administering a breath test after having received a “maximum flow exceeded” error message.

“…Contrary to the State’s assertion, there is no single protocol for a test operator to follow when administering an additional breath test after having received an error message,” Judge Edward Najam wrote for the court. “Rather, there is a significant difference in the procedure to be followed depending on the error message. Without direction from the Department of Toxicology on how to properly proceed following the ‘maximum flow exceeded’ error message, we cannot say that Captain (Don) Weilhamer’s decision to simply wait three minutes before administering a second test using the same machine was correct.

“In sum, the evidence does not show that the technique Captain Weilhamer used to administer the second breath test to Connor was an authorized technique that produced an accurate test result,” Najam continued.  “When Captain Weilhamer received an error message for which there was no corresponding protocol in the administrative code, he improvised. Because the technique he used had not been approved in accordance with a rule promulgated by the Department of Toxicology, as a matter of law the results of the breath test were not admissible.”

AG Curtis Hill joins bipartisan coalition in defending states’ rights to regulate rising costs of prescription drugs

0

Attorney General Curtis Hill this month joined a bipartisan coalition of 32 attorneys general in filing an amicus brief in the U.S. Supreme Court supporting states’ rights to regulate and address the rising cost of prescription drugs.

In Rutledge v. Pharmaceutical Care Management Association, the attorneys general argue that in order to protect the well-being of consumers, states must retain the right to regulate pharmacy benefit managers, also known as PBMs. PBMs act as gate-keepers among pharmacies, drug manufacturers, health insurance plans and consumers for access to prescription drugs. The brief filed this month argues that regulation of the prescription drug market, including PBMs, is a critical tool for states to address access and affordability of prescription drugs and protect residents.

In 2015, the state of Arkansas implemented a law that regulated PBMs by setting standards for generic drug prices. Under the law, PBMs must raise their reimbursement rate for a drug if that rate falls below the pharmacy’s wholesale costs. The law also created an appeals process for pharmacies to challenge these reimbursement rates. The law was challenged by the Pharmaceutical Care Management Association, which argued that the Employment Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) prevents the State of Arkansas from implementing the law. Arkansas has asked the Supreme Court to hear the case.

“States must constantly safeguard their ability to act on behalf of their own citizens,” Attorney General Hill said. “Here in Indiana, we must step forward to protect policymaking prerogatives that rightfully rest with state government.”

In this month’s filing, the attorneys general argue that state laws regulating pharmacy benefit managers are not restricted by federal law. Regulation is critical to the states’ ability to improve the transparency of prescription drug marketplaces and to protect consumers’ access to affordable prescription drugs, especially those in underserved, rural and isolated communities. In addition, the attorneys general assert that the regulation of pharmacy benefit managers promotes healthcare access and affordability for residents and that taking away a state’s ability to regulate would create confusion and uncertainty in the market and harm patients.
