Navigation Judicial advocacy group accuses judge overseeing Depo-Provera MDL of sex bias
A judicial advocacy group that opposes “leftist lawfare” has lodged a conduct complaint against federal Judge M. Casey Rodgers of the Northern District of Florida, accusing the jurist of sex bias in statements involving the Depo-Provera multidistrict litigation (MDL).
The Article III Project, a Texas-based group that claims to use “brass knuckles” tactics to confirm “constitutionalist” jurists, filed the complaint against Rodgers on Feb. 27 with the U.S. 11th District Court of Appeals in Atlanta. Rodgers is currently overseeing the MDL involving Pfizer Inc. and other defendants involved in the manufacture of the injectable contraceptive Depo-Provera, which plaintiffs allege increases the risk of developing a brian cancer.
In a case-management conference on Feb. 21, Rodgers told the parties’ attorneys that “females need to be adequately represented in your leadership,” according to the complaint letter authored by Article III President Michael R. Davis.
