Leonard Stark, the federal judge who presided over AstraZeneca’s 340B contract pharmacy lawsuit from its start last year, is on the verge of being elevated to a higher court, possibly by the end of this week. If that happens before Stark hands down his opinion and orders, a different judge will be assigned to and decide the closely watched 340B case.
The U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee voted 15-6 on Jan. 13 to approve Stark’s nomination to a federal appeals court in Washington, D.C. The nomination to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit is on the chamber’s list of matters reported out by committees and awaiting floor action. According to the Democratic majority, the chamber may hold vote on pending nominations towards the end of this week. Its focus now is trying to pass a national voting rights bill.
