The US Supreme Court declined to hear a wrongful death lawsuit seeking to hold ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo responsible for COVID-19 nursing home deaths. The justices declined to take up the appeal, leaving in place lower court rulings and preventing the case from advancing to the nation's highest court. Plaintiffs had argued that Cuomo's policies during the early COVID-19 pandemic contributed to nursing home fatalities, while supporters of Cuomo said the claims were legally unfounded.
