MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT
On January 17, 2023, Defendants New Albany Surgery Center and New Albany Surgery
Center, LLC (hereinafter collectively “New Albany Surgery Center”) filed a motion asking this
Court to reconsider its Decision and Order denying its Motion for Summary Judgment in light of
the Ohio Supreme Court’s decision in Clawson v. Heights Chiropractic Physicians, L.L.C., 2022-
Franklin County Ohio Clerk of Courts of the Common Pleas- 2023 Aug 14 10:06 AM-18CV005809
0G503 - N9
Ohio-4154. On August 10, 2023, counsel for the parties participated in a status conference.
Following the status conference, counsel received notice that the case was scheduled for oral
argument on New Albany Surgery Center’s Motion to Reconsider on August 17, 2023. The notice
identified several specific issues that the parties will need to be prepared to address at oral
argument.
Plaintiffs are requesting a continuance because the undersigned is scheduled to start a trial
on August 21, 2023 in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court before the Honorable Judge
Kimberly A. Melnick in the case captioned Karen Weis, Administrator of the Estate of Adithya
Kotha v. Indu Raj Soin Medical Center, et al., Case No. 2018 CV 05408. A copy of the Amended
Final Pretrial Order, filed on December 16, 2022, is attached as Exhibit 1 for the convenience of
the Court. The trial was originally scheduled to begin on August 22™ to accommodate Judge
Melnick’s criminal docket. However, that conflict has been resolved, and jury selection is now
scheduled to begin on August 21*
It is not Plaintiffs’ intent to unnecessarily delay oral argument on the important issues
raised in Defendant’s motion. However, Plaintiffs’ counsel is in the midst of trial preparation and
has scheduled time to meet with witnesses to prepare for trial. In addition, there is no time available
to brief the issues identified by the Court in preparation for the oral argument. For these reasons,
Plaintiffs respectfully request that the Court grant their motion and order that the oral argument on
the Motion to Reconsider be continued
