Hello all,
I have a pro se case whistleblower case that has just survived MTD. There are two Defendants, a major corporation, and a nurse that works for the corporation.
The nurse is charged with submitting a falsified affidavit to an ALJ in the DOL in a previous trial concerning this matter. I think it is most likely that the lead Attorney for the corporation falsified the affidavit after the nurse had signed it.
I have sent opposing Counsel a message that the nurse can have a full release of claims for full and honest testimony about the affidavit. Also that I am sending a subpoena to the state nursing board to obtain records of a HIPAA complaint that I filed against the nurse and that was summarily dismissed without comment.
I was expecting that the nurse would oblige, but I got no reply from opposing Counsel. I then sent a message asking opposing Counsel to confirm that my messages were delivered to their client and they responded with:
"
Without addressing all of the allegations in your emails, are you making a specific monetary demand to Ms. Gliori to resolve the remaining claim against her that the District Judge did not dismiss in exchange for a full release of any claims you may have against her? If so, I'll communicate that amount to her.
"
to which I replied that I would settle for the amount specified in the complaint.
I then sent opposing Counsel a msg. asking if either of their clients would oppose a motion to compel opposing Counsel to inform the nurse (Defendant) that her MTD was denied and to deliver the Plaintiff's messages to her. No reply.
So I was hoping someone here might know some case law. I believe I have a situation where opposing Counsel is not representing the interests of a Defendant, to the benefit of another Defendant.
thanks
