Ex Parte Cardinal Health, Inc. Petition for Writ of Mandamus (in Re: Dch Health Care Authority v. Purdue Pharma…

Summary

The Supreme Court of Alabama denied the defendants' petition for a writ of mandamus without issuing a majority opinion. The petition sought a continuance and additional discovery concerning plaintiffs' newly disclosed mitigation plan and substantial projected damages. The supplied opinion text includes a separate writing advocating limited mandamus relief, but that reasoning did not control the disposition.
