The investor lawsuit against Star Scientific will move forward, according to a federal judge who made the ruling Tuesday.

Virginia Lawyers Weekly reports that U.S. District Judge John A. Gibney, based in Richmond, denied Star Scientific’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit that argues the company exaggerated claims of the effectiveness of its anti-inflammatory supplement Anatabloc.

The focus of the suit revolves around Star Scientific press releases referencing studies done by John Hopkins University researchers who were in actuality paid company consultants.

The lawsuit is set to continue Sept. 15, and the judge will address class action certification and other matters before the trial date.

We will keep you updated as this story unfolds.

Original Story: A hearing on Jan. 7 in U.S. District Court in Richmond, VA will determine whether a motion to dismiss a lawsuit against Star Scientific for misleading investors can move forward, reports PilotOnline.com.

The shareholder lawsuit argues that the dietary supplement developer Star Scientific exaggerated claims about its anti-inflammatory supplement and made false claims about the company’s business as a whole.

The suit also alleges that the company delayed informing investors about the existence of a federal investigation into the company’s transactions with its securities. Star Scientific says it does not expect to be prosecuted.

Star Scientific has asked a federal judge to dismiss the shareholder suit.

The FDA also issued a warning letter last month addressed to Star Scientific telling them that they are illegally marketing two of their products. We will keep you updated as this story unfolds.

    01 How Soon Should I Contact a Lawyer After an Accident?
    Contacting a lawyer immediately after an accident is crucial to protect your legal rights, preserve evidence, and avoid missing deadlines that could impact your case.
    02 Should I Avoid Talking to Insurance Adjusters?
    It's wise to avoid speaking with insurance adjusters without consulting an attorney first, as they may use the information against you to minimize your compensation or reject your claim entirely.
    03 What if the Other Driver is Lying About the Accident?
    Gathering evidence like witness statements and photographs will help prove your side of the story. The best way to fight a false narrative by the at-fault driver is with facts that prove the truth.
    04 What Happens to My Lost Wages?
    If you can't work because of an injury from someone else's negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for lost wages, benefits, and bonuses. An attorney can help you pursue that compensation through negotiations or litigation.
    05 How is Parrish Law Firm Different?
    Founding partner James R. Parrish knows the best strategies for fighting for fair compensation from insurance companies because he used to represent the insurancers in personal injury cases. A background of working on the other side of personal injury claims gives him the insider knowledge necessary to take on these deep-pocketed companies.
    06 How Long Do I Have to Settle My Case?
    There is no strict time limit on settling a personal injury claim. However, there are restrictions on the amount of time you have to file a lawsuit. In Virginia, you must file your personal injury lawsuit within two years of the date of the accident. The time it takes to settle a case depends on the circumstances surrounding the accident and the motivations of both parties. These cases can last from a few months to several years.
