California Court Hears Motion for Veterans to Access Medical Aid in Dying

I hope you are following the case that the End of Life Liberty Project is litigating on behalf of veterans in the California Veterans Homes to access the same range of end of life options as other Californians.

Right now, a dying Vet who chooses death via medical aid in dying will be thrown out of the Home pursuant to regulations adopted by Cal-Vet. On behalf of veterans residing in the Yountville home in Napa, the ELLP is pursuing a claim against Cal-Vet for adopting an entirely unnecessary, pernicious regulation, rife with both procedural and substantive failings. ELLP seeks a writ of mandate from the court,  compelling Cal-Vet to rescind the flawed reg. 

Oral argument will be heard in Napa County Superior Court on Plaintiffs’ Motion for Summary Judgment on November 6, 2019 at 8:30AM. ELLP welcomes supporters of end of life liberty attending the hearing, which is open to the public. 

The case is Robert Sloan et al vs Vito Imbasciani, MD et al, No. 19-CV-000078 before Judge Victoria Wood.
