No pill mill here

VICTORIA, Texas — A federal judge in Texas allowed nearly all the civil rights claims brought by a physician to proceed against the Texas Medical Board, its investigators and other law enforcement officers, who rifled through the physician’s confidential files and records to produce “trumped-up” accusations that the doctor was running a “pill mill,” charges a state court later tossed. One board investigator is entitled to qualified immunity on the unreasonable seizure claim, but the rest of the doctor’s claims survive the motion.
