Successfully obtained a judgment in a bench trial in the amount of $233,500.00 on behalf of a Personal Representative to an estate where the decedent’s estranged step-daughter wrote herself a check in the amount of $230,000 from the decedent’s account using a power of attorney the day before the decedent passed.

GREENBELT, Md., Aug. 10, 2020 — The preliminary injunction hearing scheduled for this Friday in Federal court has been cancelled by United States District Court judge George J. Hazel at the request of the parties.

“The County Health Officer’s rescission of his latest closure order eliminates the need for any emergency hearing,” said Timothy F. Maloney, attorney for the plaintiffs.  “The case will remain pending as we see how the County Health Officer treats religious and private schools going forward.”

“Now is not the time for litigation but for cooperation,” said Maloney. “Schools and parents seek to collaborate with the County Health Officer as they make safe reopening decisions.” 

“Nonpublic schools have invested extraordinary resources in their reopening plans.  Each has made independent decisions appropriate to their own circumstances, including classroom instruction, hybrid learning and remote learning, consistent with CDC and State health guidelines.  We believe the County Health Officer will be impressed by the extraordinary investment and planning undertaken by these schools, and their commitment to the safety of the community.”

GREENBELT, Md., Aug. 7, 2020  — The Montgomery County Health Officer today rescinded his order prohibiting religious and private schools from conducting in-person classes.  The order was the only one of its kind in the country. Plaintiffs were represented in this case by Timothy F. Maloney and Alyse Prawde of Joseph, Greenwald and Laake, P.A.

The Health officer’s order was the subject of an emergency injunction hearing in Federal Court scheduled for Friday, August 14, 2020. Counsel will be reviewing the Health Officer’s new order before decisions are made about the status of the hearing and the Federal lawsuit.

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan had issued a revised emergency order on Monday concerning clarifying local authority concerning religious and private schools.  In issuing the order, Governor Hogan stated that religious and private schools should be free to make their own to make their own reopening decisions, consistent with CDC and State Health guidelines. Maryland Secretary of Health Robert Neall directed all county health officers to follow the governor’s order as established State health policy.

“Wisdom is always welcome, no matter how late it arrives,” said Timothy F. Maloney, counsel for the plaintiffs who challenged the Health Officer’s order. “This is a victory for the more than 22,000 students in Montgomery County and their families who are committed to their religious and private education.  Their schools are now prepared to make safe reopening decisions based upon CDC and State guidelines.”
