Re: Bonavita v. Sayeed, et. al. D&NFile#: 017-2118/19 Dear Ms. Robin: We represent Dr. Syed M. Sayeed and Precision Surgery of New York, P.C. in the above-noted matter. Please allow this correspondence to memorialize the discovery that remains outstanding in this matter. 1. We received a response from MagnaCare wherein the authorization you provided was rejected. A copy of the rejection letter is enclosed for your review. In following the directives of MagnaCare, kindly provide anew authorization which authorizes the release of records to Choice Legal, which is the document retrieval company that our office is using to secure records. Also, kindly ensure that section 9(a) of the authorization is duly initialed and completed. 2. With respect to plaintiff’s rejection to providing authorizations for Gail Diamond, Eun Ryang Jang, Amanda Pero and Kevin Basile because their addresses cannot be located, please note that these providers are listed in the plaintiff’s Greenvale Pharmacy records. If plaintiff is unaware of the addresses of these providers, provide the authorizations and we will investigate their addresses and send the authorizations.

We received a response from Southern Glazer Wine & Spirits wherein the authorization you provided was rejected. A copy of the rejection letter is enclosed for your review. Per the directives of Southern Glazer please provide a new authorization that will allow release of the plaintiff’s employment records to Dorf and Nelson, LLP and Choice Legal, and a new Power of Attorney for release of the employment records to Dorf and Nelson, LLP and Choice Legal. 4. Lastly, we have not received a response to our June 24, 2019 Demand for Physical Examination pursuant to 22 NYCRR §§ 202.17 and 208.13 and CPLR §3121(b). As you are no doubt aware, Hamilton v. Miller, 23 N.Y. 3d 592 (2014) states that section 202.17 (b) obligates the plaintiff to obtain reports that include a recital of what trial testimony the plaintiff will offer as to the injuries and conditions of the plaintiff, including diagnosis and prognosis. The Court of Appeals has further stated that the rule requires plaintiff to obtain the information from examining physicians and treating physicians whether or not the information is contained in existing reports. If the records of the treating and examining physicians do not include the information on the injuries and conditions, their diagnosis and prognosis, the plaintiffs must have the medical providers draft reports setting forth that information. As such, kindly provide a response to this demand. Please consider this a good faith effort to resolve these discovery issues without the need for motion practice. We thank you for your anticipated cooperation with regards to this matter. Very truly yours, Melissa G.

Mr. Bonavita’s employer, Southern Glazer’s Wine and Spirits of New York, LLC (misidentified in your request), is owned by Southern Glazer’s Wine and Spirits, LLC (“SGWS” or the “Company”). SGWS cannot provide the records requested in your letter. SGWS owns all employee records, and it is the policy of SGWS not to release personnel or employment records without a subpoena or court order, notwithstanding the provision of an authorization for release of those records by the employee whose records are sought. Moreover, the authorization enclosed with your request is for the release of health information pursuant to HIPAA, but purports to authorize the release of employment records as a type of health information to be disclosed under the form. Likewise, the enclosed power of attorney references only the HIPAA medical authorization, but makes no reference to release of employment records. Further, neither the power of attorney nor the authorization provide for the release of records to either DOPF, P.C. or Choice Legal. For those and other reasons, SGWS does not consider the authorization form valid for the release of employment or personnel records, even setting aside the Company’s policy not to release such records without a subpoena or court order. If you would like to serve a subpoena for Mr. Bonavita’s records, any valid subpoena may be sent to my attention at the address above. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me, Sincerely, Jacquelyn Rogers FILED: NASSAU COUNTY CLERK 11/05/2021 01:12 PM INDEX NO. 611506/2018 NYSCEF DOC.
