According to www.NOLA.com a Jefferson Parish judge is scheduled to consider a proposed class-action settlement Wednesday over nursing home owner Bob Dean Jr.’s botched evacuation of 843 south Louisiana patients for Hurricane Ida.
Dean likely won’t appear to testify, though he’s received a subpoena. That’s because a probate judge in Georgia last month granted a petition to appoint Dean’s wife, Karen Dean, as his as his emergency guardian. The Sept. 26 order grants Karen Dean authority over her husband’s medical treatment, contracts and legal matters. It says the 69 YO Bob Dean is at least $40 million in debt. There is no end date to the guardianship.
