Jason Brown, a former co-chief deputy of the attorney general’s office and a former senior federal attorney in New York, backed DCG’s objection to the Genesis settlement with the state, asserting in a court filing that the details of the settlement may not have been arrived at properly.
“In any case of this magnitude, I would expect the parties to have engaged in extensive merits-based assessments of the claims prior to finalization of a settlement,” he argued. “It is, in my opinion, not in the usual course to forgo such discussions.”
