As we’ve been reporting here on eWn, Dr. Carlon Colker was named in Janel Grant's lawsuit against Vince McMahon, as Grant sought evidence from Colker and his Peak Wellness Clinic.
Post Wrestling is reporting that Colker and Peak Wellness have requested the Connecticut Superior Court to dismiss Grant's request for evidence.
Colker and his legal team assert that Grant's attorneys have already received electronic copies of the requested medical and billing records. They also provided the court with copies of emails sent to Grant's legal representatives.
Colker's team contends that Grant is not utilizing the petition to file a lawsuit in state court, which breaches state law. They argue that Grant is attempting to sue Colker and the clinic in federal court.
In a statement, Grant's attorney, Ann Callis said, "By his own admission, Dr. Colker's filing today all but confirms they have withheld the requested records for fear they could lead to further legal action against him. Ms. Grant deserves answers, and we respectfully ask the court to compel Dr. Colker and Peak Wellness to provide her with long overdue clarity."
Colker's attorneys contended, "This is not a violation of Judge Meyer's stay. It is an effort to evade Connecticut's requirement that bills of discovery… must be brought for the purpose of litigation in Connecticut Superior Court. All that Grant would have to do to avoid dismissal on this ground would be to acknowledge, forthrightly and unconditionally, that she will use whatever information she obtains in this proceeding in an action that she will bring in the Connecticut Superior Court. She cannot truthfully do so. A review of the eight categories of information she seeks to discover here, when read in light of the summary of her allegations relating to her federal action… makes clear that this action is joined at the hip with her federal action.”
