McKoy Opposition to Motion to Dismiss |
December 4, 2008 - Mrs. Fernanda McKoy, through her attorney Pia Gekas and litigation counsel Ivan Yacub, have filed a lawsuit in Maryland to challenge the widow penalty. Mrs. McKoy's case is the fifth in a line of cases that have been filed following the tentative ruling in the Hootkins v. Chertoff Class Action lawsuit limiting the class to the Ninth Circuit. The case, McKoy v. Chertoff, No. 08-3274 (DKC) (D. Md. Dec. 4, 2008) was filed in the Baltimore Division, but it was determined that Mrs. McKoy's address fell within the Greenbelt Division and transferred there. The Robledo / Hassan litigation is also pending in that Division.
