HEARING

The parties identify themselves. The Court questions counsel as

to how they want to proceed.

There were five (5) motions pending.

Mr. Hall indicates that two (2) motions have been ruled on and

that leaves three (3) remaining motions.

The Court addresses counsel. If it takes the second motion first

and rules in favor of defendant, that ends the case. Counsel

agree.

CASE NUMBER 100500723 Malpractice

________________________________________________________________________________

Mr. Lunceford indicates he produced supplemental information. Mr.

Hall agrees.

The Court addresses supplementing. The rules mean something.

Mr. Lunceford addresses the Court, he feels that the case falls

under the old rules. His expert provided some information.

The Court feels that the expert didn't comply with the rules.

Mr. Hall addresses the expert witness and his failure to produce

information.

Mr. Lunceford addresses the Court.

The Court feels that Rule 26 was not complied with. The Court is

going to enforce the rules as they mean something.

The Court now addresses the next motion as to supplementing the

discovery disclosures.

Mr. Hall requested discovery several times as to the plaintiff's

medical records. He feels it has been passive compliance. He

moves the Court to strike Ms. Whittmore's medical records.

Mr. Lunceford addresses the issue of Ms. Whittmore. He didn't

know about her until he saw the subpoena.

Mr. Hall presents his arguments. He wants to be prepared for

trial and can't be if he doesn't have all the supplemental

discovery.

Court address the producing of documents prior to trial. The

Court is troubled by the approach taken by Mr. Lunceford in this

matter.

Counsel now address the last motion.

The Court indicates the expert witness will not testify as to

certain issues.

Mr. Hall addresses the Court as to their expert witnesses. Mr.

Hall moves the Court to grant partial summary judgment.

Mr. Lunceford addresses the Court as to expert witness (Dr.

Smollins).

If there is a factual issue, the Court can't issue partial summary

judgment. Counsel disagree as to whether or not Dr. Smollins can

testify.

Mr. Lunceford addresses the Court.

Court talks about future of this case and trial dates. The Court
