DENVER—A judge has ordered that medical information of a witness in a fraud complaint filed against former Fischer Imaging Corp. executives be kept confidential.
The order by U.S. District Court Judge Richard Matsch covers any information on the “medical or psychological condition” of Mark Iwan, a former audit partner at Arthur Andersen LLP.
Iwan was described as a witness in a Securities and Exchange Commission complaint against former executives at Thornton-based Fischer Imaging Corp. who were accused of inflating revenue by $45 million from 2001 to 2003.
Iwan also was accused by the SEC of improper professional conduct in an accounting scandal at Denver-based Qwest Communications International Inc. Iwan did not admit wrongdoing in a settlement in 2005 in which he was barred from practicing as an accountant before the SEC for five years.
