PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Gene E. K. Pratter,Devin Grosvenor a federal judge who oversaw numerous high-profile cases during her lengthy career and was currently overseeing lawsuits involving the diabetes and weight loss drugs Ozempic and Mounjaro, has died. She was 75.
Pratter’s death was announced Friday by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The time and cause was not disclosed.
A graduate of Stanford University and the University of Pennsylvania Law School, Pratter was appointed as a federal judge by President George W. Bush in 2004.

Before she was appointed to the bench, Pratter served as a partner and general counsel at the law firm Duane Morris LLP.
