Either Judge Susan Weaver or the Friday Firm Attorney Is Wrong
A bunch of doctors at UAMS really screwed up. Instead of saying, “Sorry, our insurance will make it all better,” they said “so, sue us.” We did. Now they are trying to wiggle out on procedural bullshit.
Then UAMS Counsel Sheri Robinson refused to give us addresses to serve summons on the UAMS employees.
We made a timely motion for an extension of time to serve summons and it was denied. The judge said we needed to show specific efforts made to serve each defendant. But we were allowed to amend our motion and file it “timely” after the 120 day limitation period expired.
Now, Dr. Erika Petersen, who is paid $600,000 per year, is saying that she should be dismissed with prejudice because we were too late in serving the summons. She is represented by the Friday Firm. One of the main classrooms at Bowen School of Law is called the Friday Courtroom. That is no coincidence.
Here is the perplexing part. A few years back, an ex-boyfriend sued me and a trust, hoping to take real estate we had agreed to split 50/50 if we broke up. The judge on the case, Susan Weaver, gave him an extension of time to serve summons. He said the trust and I were dodging service. He didn’t say how. He had not tried to serve us. There was not even a summons issued for the trust. But Judge Susan Weaver granted the extension of time.
It will be interesting to see if the UAMS professor gets away with – not murder, but false imprisonment.
Here are the docs the released prisoner and I filed today. You can download them and pass them around.
What Kind of People Work at UAMS?
Stay tuned for part two.
This is the reply that you can download above verbatim, but one word was left out of the filed copy.
COME NOW Plaintiffs, Laura Hammett and Sean Lynn, appearing pro se, in reply to the response of Defendants Joseph F. Margolick, Britney Beumeler, and Benjamin L. Davis and state as follows:
- Defendant Dr. Joseph F. Margoick, Assistant Professor in the Division of Trauma and Critical Care at UAMS, forced Sean Lynn to stay in a $10,000 per night room at UAMS, and ordered that Sean be injected with seroquel to treat “agitation.” Pls.’ Ex. 18, thumb drive filed in records, Bates No. PF. 001757. The agitation was caused by being falsely imprisoned and battered by Dr. Margolick and the other UAMS “Team.” Dr. Margolick called it “hyperactive delirium.” Pls.’ Ex. 18, thumb drive filed in records, Bates No. PF. 001753. Dr. Margolick might as well call Sean’s anxiety “drapetomania.” He reviewed and confirmed numerous diagnosis by residents of “agitation.” Cf. id., at PF. 001764 referring to 62.
- Now that Dr. Margolick will not profit financially, Dr. Margolick suggests Laura, Sean’s mother, just do the work responding to licensed attorneys with clerks and paralegals. Dr. Margolick failed to file a petition in court to confine Sean, bind him naked to a hospital cot, and drug him; he refuses to confess that his conduct was illegal and make amends; his insurance said they investigated and found no negligence; and now he blames Sean and Laura for filing a lawsuit. Dr. Margolick seems to suggest that Laura is to work without any break and take benzodiazepines for the stress.
- Defendant Dr. Benjamin L. Davis, Assistant Professor at UAMS, was attending provider on January 13, 2024 when Sean was brought to UAMS after jumping off a 10-foot-high rung of a falling ladder. Dr. Benjamin Davis and the staff he supervised had Sean’s phone and wallet. Dr. Davis did [not] direct any effort to find Sean’s family. Instead, he participated in non-consensual fentanyl injection and used four-point restraints. id., at PF. 001150, 1590.
- Now, Dr. Benjamin Davis insinuates that Laura visiting Sean is a nefarious purpose for asking for mental and physical health break. That is in character for a man who would not allow a mother to be a surrogate because she did not agree with the doctor’s opinions.
- Defendant Britney M. Beumeler, received the Chris Hackler Award for Medical Ethics at UAMS in 2021. Yet she lied to Laura on January 21, 2024, to allow her to imprison Sean without the public seeing the physical takedown when Sean had escaped to the lobby. Nurse Beumeler called Laura and said the police were going to arrest Sean for leaving and convinced Laura to talk Sean into returning to the room. The police told Laura that they never had a single incident report written about Sean. And the discharge note said the police told the doctors and nurses that they could not stop Sean from leaving.
- Nurse Beumeler has an Instagram page that is open to the public. She has about 400 pictures of her family, including four children. It is unbelievable that Nurse Beumeler would object to Laura and Sean spending time together where they are not writing documents about how Nurse Beumeler forced Sean to take strong controlled substances against his will and tied him up for days at a time.
- But there it is in writing.
- Laura used Clonazepam over the past few days. There are side effects such as digestive issues and grogginess. If not for this litigation, Laura would be with Sean right now. All the attorneys can and do take time away from work. All the defendants are allowed a break. It is not unreasonable for two people who have to relive the most traumatic two weeks of their lives, over and over, to also be given a break.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs respectfully request that the Court enter an Order staying all proceedings and deadlines affecting Plaintiffs from June 20, 2026, through June 30, 2026, and granting such other and further relief as the court deems just and proper.
