Flores. The case involves an injunction compelling the state of Arizona to provide sufficient funding for non-English-speaking school children.

Sonnenschein Successfully Represents Medis Technologies, Ltd. in Class Action Complaint Sonnenschein attorneys Deborah Renner, Reid Ashinoff and Ben Delfin in New York, and Christopher King in Chicago, along with paralegal Patrice Ho Sang in New York, successfully represented Medis Technologies, Ltd. and other defendants in a securities fraud class action which alleged that Medis had made misleading statements concerning its portable power source product, a liquid fuel cell "Power Pack." Only one month after hearing argument on defendants' motion to dismiss the complaint for failure to plead scienter ( i.e., an intent to deceive), Judge Paul Crotty of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York granted the defendants' motion in its entirety, without leave to replead, noting "there are very real evidentiary shortcomings undermining the allegations."
