OT: How Judges Write (Medicaid Edition)

From a New York appellate decision issued on Tuesday comes this gem of clarity:

Accordingly, we grant the petition to the extent of annulling so much of the DOH's determination as affirmed so much of the DSS's determination as denied that portion of the petitioner's application which was to increase the Medicaid minimum monthly maintenance needs allowance to include expenses for housing, utilities, automobile, Medicare, food, clothing, medical care, and home maintenance, vacating so much of the DSS's determination as denied that portion of the application, and granting that portion of the application to the extent of remitting the matter to the DOH for the calculation of the increase in the minimum monthly maintenance needs allowance so that a portion of his income will be made available to his wife.

Ouch. Good decision, bad writing! This could be an ongoing series.
