An update has been announced in the case of OnlyFans star Emily Willis, whose family alleged earlier this year that faults caused by staff at a California rehabilitation facility left her in a 'vegetative state.'
According to an official lawsuit, the 25-year-old was first referred to Summit Malibu treatment centre in January of last year for 'ketamine addiction' treatment. Her family claim that she'd been consuming as many as 5-6 grams of the tranquilliser drug per day in the months prior.
The adult film star - whose real name is Litzy Lara Banuelos - suffered a cardiac arrest days after arriving at the facility.

Willis' family allege, however, that staff at the rehab facility failed to take her to hospital, and left her alone for an unknown period of time.

After being found unconscious by a nurse, paramedics were called to the scene, administering CPR for between 30-40 minutes. Tragically, being that Willis' brain was starved of oxygen for a considerable time, however, she sustained 'permanent damage' to her mental and physical abilities.
Summit Malibu and its parent company, Malibu Lighthouse Treatment Centers, LLC, were later accused by Willis' mother of having abused 'a dependent adult,' as well as 'professional negligence, negligence and fraudulent business practices.'

Willis' lawyer James A Morris Jr previously told press: "No patient should ever be subjected to such a horrendous breakdown in clinical care."
As we say, there has since been an update in Willis' case, with a court hearing having now been set for next month.
A trial will take place on 18 June, and address a Demurrer and Motion to Strike.
This process sees the defendants - staff at Malibu Lighthouse Treatment Centers - given the opportunity to challenge the legal complaint, as per an explanation by the California Courts Self-Help Guide.

The guide also describes this process as a 'procedural objection,' that will examine whether the complaint truly has the legal basis to continue.
If it is deemed that the Willis family's argument does not meet all the legal elements required to support the claims in the lawsuit, the proceedings will be halted.
A Motion to Strike - by which the defendants seek to eliminate parts of the complaint on the grounds of 'irrelevant, vague, or legally improper' arguments - has also been announced.

As such, a Case Management Conference (CMC) - an initial procedural meeting that will see the judge evaluating the core issues in the case and assessing any possible means of streamlining it - will be held in court.
The hearing in June will therefore determine whether the case will move on to trial.
