Mealey's (October 31, 2019, 8:09 AM EDT) -- GREENEVILLE, Tenn. — A federal judge in Tennessee on Oct. 22 adopted a magistrate judge’s order to deny transfer of a criminal action brought by the federal government against individuals who deceived patients and doctors into requesting prescription medications and pharmacies that misrepresented the purchase prices of the drugs, finding that the case should remain in Tennessee because a majority of the counts against the defendants involve the use of the U.S. mail in Tennessee (United States v. Andrew Assad, et al., No. 18-cr-140, E.D. Tenn., 2019 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 182170)....
