A judge who took over supervision of a settlement over health care in Arizona's prisons says the rulings of another judge who previously presided over the lawsuit will remain in place. The state had argued Magistrate David Duncan, who presided over the settlement before he retired in June, didn't have jurisdiction. The new judge on the case rejected the state's jurisdictional arguments last week. (AP Photo/Ross D. Franklin, File)
