Michael Jackson is no longer named as a defendant in the lawsuit that alleged intentional infliction of emotional and mental distress by Michael Jackson, Marian Medical Center, and Catholic Healthcare West.
Superior Court Judge Rodney Melville granted a demurrer that was filed by Michael Jackson’s attorney, Timothy Gorry, of Los Angeles.
Allegations remained against the hospital. According to the complaint the hospital moved 73-year-old Manuela Gomez Ruiz while she was being treated to make space for Michael Jackson to be examined when he was brought to the hospital in February 2005. Ruiz died at Marian Medical Center shortly after she was reportedly moved to another hospital room. The suit was filed by the family of the Santa Maria woman.
