Marvin Seife plea

Former FDA Generic Drugs Division Director Seife pleads not guilty to two counts of perjury at June 29 arraignment in Baltimore federal court. The two-count indictment alleges that Seife lied to an FDA investigator and Rep. Dingell's (D-Mich.) House Energy and Commerce/Oversight Subcommittee about having lunch with two generic company execs and that he falsely denied having meals paid for by company representatives ("The Pink Sheet" June 25, T&G-5). Seife's attorney, Hamilton Fox (D.C. firm of Sutherland, Asbill & Brennan) said Seife will seek a jury trial on the charges.
