WARWICK, R.I. -- Two-time Oscar-nominated actor James Woods has sued a Rhode Island hospital over the 2006 death of his younger brother.

Woods on Friday declined to discuss the lawsuit in detail, but told The Associated Press he wants "justice" for his brother, Michael, who was 49 when he died at Kent Hospital in Warwick of an apparent heart attack.

Woods claims his brother received negligent medical care.

A jury was selected Friday, and opening statements are scheduled for Monday in Kent County Superior Court.

Woods, who grew up in Warwick, received Oscar nominations for his performances in "Ghosts of Mississippi" and "Salvador." Other credits include "Nixon," ''Casino" and the CBS legal drama "Shark."

Lawyers for both sides say they won't discuss the case while it's pending.
