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.
