Attorney Robert H. Farley, Jr. of Naperville, Illinois appeared before Federal Judge Robert W. Gettleman on July 18, 2012 concerning the class action lawsuit filed on behalf of medically fragile children in the State of Illinois. The lawyer for the State told Judge Gettleman that there was no need to proceed on the Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction as the State of Illinois had requested the federal government for a 90 day extension of the current existing medically fragile waiver to November 29, 2012. Accordingly, there will be no reduction or elimination of Medicaid benefits in the near future to medically fragile children. Judge Gettleman continued the Motion for Injunctive Relief to August 17, 2012
