State of Michigan v John Rudy Vidergar Michigan Court of Appeals 2006 DOCTOR PATIENT PRIVILEGE / HIPAA: Standing to object to doctor-patient privilege in OWI causing serious impairment of body function cases.

State of Michigan v Lonnie William Koste Michigan Court of Appeals 2006 ----------------------------------------
State of Michigan v Margaret Andres Michigan Court of Appeals 2006 Defendant was NOT OPERATING her vehicle; she was so intoxicated that she could not drive the vehicle, despite apparent efforts. Because the vehicle was never operated (by placing the vehicle in a position where it could cause harm), OWI charges were improper.
