CERTIFICATION
I, Emma K Bradley of full age, hereby certify the following:
1. I am An Attorney-at-Law of the State of New Jersey, and am associated with the Law Office of
Debra Hart . I have been assigned personal handling of and am familiar with the above-captioned
matter.
2. The Discovery end Date in this case is 10/25/2021.
3. The defendants request an extension of discovery until January 15, 2022.
4. There is good cause justifying the within request as required by the Rules because defendant is
waiting for plaintiff to provide the signed authorization for the films from Pennsauken Diagnostic
Center, as notice of those films from June 2020 as just received in August 2021, and an authorization
was sent out immediately. Our Office served its first follow up by letter dated October 5, 2021 since
plaintiff has not responded to our request in a timely fashion.
5. A clear copy of the declaration page – initially requested with filing of defendant’s answer,
compelled previously by court order dated 5/14/2021; motion to dismiss filed based upon same but
was denied – however still no clear copy of declaration page received to date. Defendant
respectfully requests that the Court compel the plaintiff to produce the declaration page within ten
days of the entry of the Order.
6. Defendant respectfully requests that the Court enter an Order compelling the plaintiff to produce
the authorization directed to Pennsauken Diagnostic Center within twenty days of the entry of the
Order and allow defendant an extension in discovery to be allowed to obtain the film studies and
provide them to its defense expert for review and an addendum report to be issued and served on
plaintiff’s counsel.
7. Defendant has served authorizations to Upright MRI of Cherry Hill and issue payment for the
film studies and when same were not produced in a timely manner learned that the facility had not
printed the studies when payment had been received, nor did they have postage funds available to
CAM-L-001984-20 10/06/2021 4:40:23 PM Pg 5 of 7 Trans ID: LCV20212329814
ship the studies to our office. We are in the process of having the films picked up from the facility
once we have been notified that the films are ready. Defendant served an authorization to Cooper
University Radiology and through a third party vendor the films were requested but our office has
not received, another copy has been requested and is in the process of being sent to our office. Once
received, defendant will need additional time to have them reviewed by our medical expert and an
addendum report issued and served on counsel for plaintiff.
8. It is anticipated that all of the required discovery will be completed by January 15, 2022.
9. Pursuant to R.4:24-1(c), there have been prior Orders to extend, copies of which uploaded by the
Court under Trans ID LCV20211728523 on July 23, 2021.
10. There is scheduled an Arbitration hearing on November 10, 2021 which defendant respectfully
requests be adjourned to allow for the discovery extension.
11. I hereby certify that the moving party is not in default of discovery.
12. I certify that all statements contained herein are true to the best of my knowledge. I am aware
that if any such statements are willfully false, I am subject to punishment.
