An opioid defendant facing upcoming bellwether trials has moved to disqualify Motley Rice, whose partner Joe Rice serves as co-lead plaintiffs' counsel in the multidistrict litigation before U.S. District Judge Dan Polster in the Northern District of Ohio. On Friday, OptumRx filed the disqualification motion, citing alleged ethical concerns tied to confidential information Motley Rice received as part of government subpoenas in its work as outside counsel. The motion follows OptumRx's failed attempt to disqualify the opioid special master.
