Opportunity for UAMS Students To Settle Lawsuit
This is a draft, unfinished complaint. It will probably be complete and filed by Monday, December 29, 2025.
Defendants who are interested in early settlement should contact Laura Hammett at bohemian_books@yahoo.com.
The plaintiffs asked UAMS attorney Sherri Robinson and Risk Manager Steve Hillis to meet for a settlement discussion several months ago. UAMS defense counsel and The Doctor’s Company Insurance representative showed little interest.
Soon to be Filed Public Corruption Complaint
This is only a rough draft of the caption and introduction. One defendant Joseph Margolick, M.D. has another open malpractice case for allegedly leaving a sponge in a patient. There is also a Joseph Margolick with an outstanding 2022 Failure to Appear warrant in Pulaski County. Coincidence?
What do you think?
The main problem I see is that Arkansas polices itself and is its own judge and jury. If the ordinary person did anything close to what we allege here, that ordinary person would have been locked up.
Introduction
Sean Lynn was hurt and wanted to go home to his bed, his food, and his daughter. Instead, clinicians at UAMS hurt him worse. For two weeks, they imprisoned, starved, dehydrated, assaulted and battered Lynn in UAMS Medical Center. Lynn was denied visitation with his beloved daughter. The Arkansas State employees insisted that the communication disabilities they caused were “incapacity.” Rather than appoint Hammett as a surrogate, the clinicians substituted their judgment for Lynn’s.
Laura Hammett made a reasonable and eventually successful attempt to rescue Lynn. The Defendants caused her physical and economic damage through ordinary negligence arising under the rescuer doctrine and breach of contractual obligations.
On January 27, 2024, the Defendants allowed Lynn to leave UAMS. He was in far worse condition than when he entered. The Defendants had caused physical and emotional trauma, exacerbated aphasia, and hearing loss.
On February 13, 2024, UAMS Medical Center, a unit of the University of Arkansas, generated a statement claiming total charges of $115,132.45, and thanked Lynn “for choosing” them as his healthcare provider.
Plaintiffs seek damages from the individual defendants who caused Plaintiffs’ harm.
Plaintiffs also seek prospective equitable relief against the Board of Trustees of the University of Arkansas to enjoin enforcement of any policy or practice at UAMS Medical Center that prohibits or chills the documentation of non-consensual hospitalization in violation of Article 2, Section 6 of the Arkansas Constitution. Further, Plaintiffs seek declaratory relief requiring referral of evidence from this action and the related Arkansas Claims Commission proceeding to the Public Integrity Unit of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Lynn is pro se and is happy to speak with attorneys willing to help him. You can contact Lynn though me at bohemian_books@yahoo.com
Populism and Corrupt Courts
Thank you to my wonderful friend Carolyn Conrad for saving many of the posts I wrote for the now-defunct Examiner.com.
Carolyn’s son Christopher died recently. He never fully recovered from the devastation thrust upon his life by corrupt court collaterals and judicial officers. Ah, that tears could wash away the memories. But not.
UAMS Doctors Tried to Hide the Evidence
Summary of the Case
This complaint arises from negligence in a medical setting that can be understood by a person of ordinary intelligence using common knowledge. The defendants failed to ask the patient what the mechanism of his injury was, instead relying on an unattributed and erroneous note made by someone who was not a witness to the accident. Based solely on that erroneous statement, the Medical Defendants substituted their judgment for the patient’s and refused to allow the patient to contact his family or get a ride home from a professional driver.
The claims that arose during the two weeks immediately after are brought under two alternate theories. The Plaintiffs’ preferred theory is that refusal of consent ended the doctor-patient relationship, and the further claims arise out of ordinary tort, contract, and civil rights law. The alternative is that Lynn’s claims are subsumed into the medical injury claim, and Hammett’s claims fall under tort, contract, and civil rights law, particularly the ADA.
In response to the Plaintiffs’ threats of a lawsuit, the Defendants allowed Lynn to leave the hospital on January 27, 2024. Instead of attempting to make the Plaintiffs whole, the Defendants manifested their intent to commit fraud on the court and obstruct justice. They refused to amend the medical record to correct the mechanism of the initial injury and destroyed the videos taken in the emergency room and during Lynn’s escape attempts through the hospital halls and stairways.
ABC Guide to Lawyering
This book was actually my son Sean’s idea, and it’s published through his Amazon account. Amazon takes the bulk of the sale price—Sean says he earns only a few cents per copy—but his goal was never the money. He wants to share what he went through: the medical battery and false imprisonment he endured at UAMS, and the obstacles he’s faced while pursuing a settlement with the state-run hospital.~~~
There is a lengthy sample that you can read on your phone. It is a good long-weekend-cozy-in-bed book.
Another Toothless Tiger Law
This would be a wonderful law, except that recovery under the law relies on government prosecution of corrupt judicial officers. In other words, it will almost never happen.

UAMS Torture Victim in His Own Words
Arkansas Claims Commissioners Dee Holcomb, Henry Kinslow, and Paul Morris issued a sua sponte order on November 14, 2025, denying ADA accommodations to a disabled man. Sean Lynn is suing UAMS for imprisoning and battering him for two weeks in 2024. The torture resulted in a disrupted oscillator chain in his left ear and exacerbated aphasia that lingers on two years later.
Being drugged with Fentanyl, a list of benzodiazepines, and barbiturates, then bound to a bed, naked for much of the time, and chased down hallways and stairs when trying to escape, caused Lynn symptoms of PTSD.
Holcomb, Kinslow, and Morris said that when I, a co-claimant and Sean’s mother, wrote our joint documents, I was engaged in the unauthorized practice of law. The Commissioners made a vague reference to some unnamed persons who may or may not have been co-claimants and may or may not have had communication disabilities, who were not allowed to join on documents they filed.
The Commissioners wrote: “While Ms. Hammett is entitled to represent herself before the Commission with regard to her individual claims, any attempt by her to represent Mr. Lynn would appear to be the unauthorized practice of law (and similar attempts have been rejected in other matters).”
The Commissioners might claim that they did not say I attempted to represent Mr. Lynn, as “any” could mean there was no attempt, but if there was an attempt, it would “appear” to be criminal conduct. The last corrupt jurist I dealt with, Federal Judge Lee P. Rudofsky, disagreed with that interpretation of the word “any.” When I wrote that “any” credit card usage I made on a Capital One Account was for consumer goods, and therefore subject to the FDCPA, Judge Rudofsky said that was an admission that I used the credit card and did not pay it off. The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with Judge Rudofsky wholeheartedly.
I think the language of the order issued by the Commissioners gives them the wiggle room to say they were expressing “concern” and not making a definitive statement. But if Sean and I did not object and ask for reconsideration of the order, history would be rewritten, and the law of the case and issue preclusion would say that I was practicing law without a license.
Inexplicably, the Commissioners have looked at our claims for over a year and never expressed one bit of concern that doctors and nurses at UAMS forced Sean to ingest dangerous drugs, used physical restraints, and catheterized him instead of letting him get up to use the toilet over a two-week period– without offering him an attorney to defend him from this false imprisonment. UAMS PD refused to investigate our allegations of criminal conduct by UAMS staff. And UAMS Security deleted all the videos of the alleged criminal conduct.
The YouTube video of one of the many discussions Sean and I had about the torture at UAMS was posted three days ago, but it was recorded about a year ago. It is on Sean’s YouTube channel. Show your support for autonomy over our bodies and access to justice by liking and subscribing.
Arkansas Claims Commission Questions Whether Claimant Is Entitled to ADA Accommodations; Shows No Concern that UAMS Doctors Falsely Imprison and Batter “Patients”
Arkansas Claims Commissioners Dee Holcomb, Henry Kinslow, and Paul Morris issued an order today in the civil claim that alleges doctors and other medical staff at UAMS committed criminal battery and false imprisonment against a man who hit his head when he jumped from the 10-foot-high rung of a falling ladder. Aphasia caused by a stable brain bleed was exacerbated by forced drugging and smashing the patient’s head against hard objects to physically restrain him in the $10,000 per night hospital room. The Commissioners expressed concern that the patient’s co-claimant and accommodator was practicing law. The Commissioners did not express any concern whatsoever about the battery, false imprisonment, and destruction of evidence by the half-million-dollar-per-year salaried doctors at the state-run hospital.
Here are the order and a motion for reconsideration that were both filed today.
