Calexico Hospital Management Group, LLC, v. State of California, et al., Imperial County Superior Court Case No. L-00074
$12,000,000.00 Jury Verdict following wrongful closure of the Calexico Hospital – the only hospital in the border city of Calexico, California. Calexico lies about 125 miles east of San Diego. It has about 25,000 residents and is growing. CHMG formerly managed the Hospital for profit. State officials employed by the California Department of Health falsely promised to survey the Hospital for Medicare-Medi-Cal certification – then concocted a pretext for not doing the survey. The result was the Hospital’s inability to collect millions of dollars in reimbursements from the federal and State governments – and ultimate closure. CHMG sued state officials for violation of 42 U.S.C. section 1983, i.e., deprivation of rights under color of law arising from the denial of substantive and procedural due process rights protected by the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution.
