‘I Direct This Litigation’: Oklahoma’s Attorney General Answers State Farm’s Bid to Remove His Lawyers

Curt Testa1 week ago055 mins

In a sworn declaration, Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond tells a Cleveland County judge ‘I direct this litigation’ as the State opposes State Farm’s motion to disqualify Whitten Burrage. The State says the contract caps the firm’s fee at $50 million, that it seeks neither State Farm’s dissolution nor its license, and it cites a 2008 Katrina ruling in which a federal judge rejected a conflict argument by State Farm and other insurers. The hearing is Nov. 9.

Six weeks before the first State Farm hail trial in Oklahoma, State Farm asked a Comanche County judge to move West v. State Farm to another county — or delay it past the November 3 election in which the plaintiff is a candidate for district judge — then moved to add a Sullivan & Cromwell partner to its trial team. Same week: the AG’s case gets a Nov. 9 disqualification hearing and the Hursh trial date of Dec. 7 is locked in. Every filing hosted.
