My health continues to decline. Due to indigence I was not able to purchase a
prescription costing $422.95 for Lantus Solostar insulin (100 units) see attached. On
Monday April 6, 2015 my doctor interpreted the results of the attached CT scan of me
from March 16, 2015: C5-6, moderate to severe left neural foramina stenosis due to
uncovertebral joint hypertrophy. This condition may explain neuropathy in both my
hands that makes typing difficult and painful.

I am currently being treated for type 2 adult onset diabetes with medication, treatment

that is no longer effective. The attached Accu-Chek Compass One Page Summary Report for the
period ending April 20, 2015 (Exhibit 8) shows my treatment for diabetes is not effective. The

glucose is disabling. Disability is a barrier to competent (Rule 4-1.1) and diligent (Rule 4-1.3)

functioning in this legal matter. Recently my doctor prescribed a lower cost insulin, isophane
(NPH)100 units/ml human recombinant subcutaneous suspension. Exhibit 9. The cost, $122.95 is
still prohibitive. I am not able to purchase this medication at this time due to indigence. In other
words, I do not have $122.95 available in cash or credit.

Volume 31, Insurance (Disability), Florida Jurisprudence 2d (2007)
31 Fla. Jur. 2d 2195 (2007), Generally; what constitutes "total disability"
Disability or accident insurance policies, or disability clauses in life insurance policies,
may properly restrict their coverage to disability that is "total."[fn1]
"Total disability" is a relative term, depending upon the character of insured's occupation.
the capabilities of the insured, and the circumstances of the particular case, [fn2] and
which must be determined in the context of a liberal construction of the disability
provision in order to protect the policyholder. [fn3] However, that term does not require
that the insured be bedridden or reduced to complete helplessness.[fn4] Whether one is
totally disabled is ordinarily a question of fact.[fn5]
Disability provisions are generally of two types: an "occupational disability" clause,
which requires only that the insured be unable to perform the duties of his or her
particular occupation in order to recover, and a "general disability" clause, which
conditions the payment of benefits thereunder on the insured's inability to perform the
duties of any occupation.[fn6]

31 Fla. Jur. 2d 2196 (2007), Occupational disability


A typical occupational disability provision requires that the insured be unable to perform
the duties pertaining to his or her regular occupation.[fn1] In applying such a clause, the
court must look at the insured's occupation as a whole.[fn2] The insured's disability will
be considered total if it is such that he or she is unable to do "substantially" all the
"material" acts which are usually required to be performed in the occupation or
profession or work in which he or she is engaged,[fn3] in a customary and usual
manner.[fn4] Thus, the "total disability" provisions were applicable to a physician who
continued his office practice by examining patients, supervising office staff and making
post-operative visits, but was unable to perform unassisted major head and neck cancer
surgery, which previously constituted a major portion of his practice.[fn5]
Total disability does not mean a state of helplessness [fn6] or inability to do any part
whatever of the occupation, or to perform any work whatever for compensation, [fn7]
and the fact that the insured performs, or is able to perform, some inconsequential, trivial,
or incidental duties connected with his or her usual employment or occupation will not
preclude recovery. [fn8] On the other hand, the mere inability to perform one duty or
operation required in the particular occupation does not constitute total disability, [fn9]
unless the insured obtained a modification of the policy entitling him to benefits if he
could not perform a specific aspect of his practice. [fn10]
Under an occupational disability policy defining total disability as "your inability to
engage in your occupation," the term "your occupation" referred to specific work done by
insured at the time of injury, not to work requiring similar skills and producing
comparable income. [fn11] So, under such a provision, insured who, before suffering a
disabling knee injury, had been working as a yacht salesman, was engaged in the activity
or business of selling yachts, notwithstanding that he had worked at other sales jobs
during the life of the policy and had obtained employment as a freight-space salesman for
a trucking company after he began receiving benefits under the policy. [fn12]

Observation: An occupational disability clause may provide further that recovery


may be had only if the insured is not engaged in any other gainful occupation or
employment. [fn13]

disability. Am. Jur. Pleading and Practice Forms, Insurance 1032.
31 Fla. Jur. 2d 2197 (2007), General Disability
A typical general disability clause requires that the insured be unable to perform the
material or substantial duties of any occupation in which insured reasonably could [fn1]
be expected to engage, or prevented from engaging in any occupation or performing any
6

work for compensation of financial value, [fn2] or from performing any work, following
any occupation, or engaging in any business for remuneration or profit, [fn3] or that the
insured suffer any impairment of mind or body that continuously renders it impossible for
insured to follow a gainful occupation.[fn4] Under such a clause, the insured is totally
disabled when his or her condition is such that he or she is not able to perform the duties
of any occupation for which he or she is fitted or qualified by education, training, or
experience.[fn5] Thus, a travel and market consultant was not totally disabled from an
injury to his foot and back while running, even though the injuries allegedly restricted his
travel and reduced his firm's income, where the consultant continued to perform the
duties of employment as owner of the firm, continued to travel, and failed to show that
his business lost money due to his alleged disability, and the policy defined "total
disability" as an inability to perform material and substantial duties of any occupation
which insured reasonably could be expected to engage in.[fn6]
Generally, an insured who continues or resumes working subsequent to the
commencement of the disability is precluded from receiving total or permanent disability
benefits whenever he or she substantially performs the important and material duties of
his or her occupation. [fn7] However this rule is subject to many important exceptions.
Thus, recovery will not be precluded where the insured makes an unsuccessful attempt to
work [fn8] or returns to a reduced or relaxed workload, or where he or she participates in
merely trivial or minor activities. [fn9] Thus, an elderly dentist did not terminate his
period of total disability because of his activities as a partner in a firm dealing in
automatic laundry equipment where the insured came to the office frequently when he
felt like it and performed a variety of odd jobs, but two business trips attempted by him
had terminated en route because of his physical condition, he signed many checks while
at home in bed, he drew no salary or other compensation, and had no specific duties to
perform. [fn10]
Even though a person who becomes wholly disabled from engaging in his or her
occupation may nevertheless follow some gainful occupation after years of preparatory
study and mental training, until that end is accomplished and the insured is receiving
profits or remuneration from his or her new vocation, the insurer is not justified in
refusing monthly benefit payments. [fn11]

Generally, when the term "total disability" is used in a contract of insurance without any
limitation whatever, either as to the duration of the disability or as to the cause from
which it should arise, it may refer to temporary or permanent total disability arising from
various causes, including mental incapacity (which mayor may not render the insured
wholly or totally disabled) or disease, [fn1] or physical sickness or disorder [fn2] such as
arthritis or diabetes, [fn3] loss or impairment of vision [fn4] or hearing, [fn5] or a
circulatory disorders such as clotting of veins in the legs, diminished blood supply in the
lower extremities, phlebitis with production of emboli, and blood clots, with danger of
occlusions in the heart, lungs, or extremities. [fn6]

31 Fla. Jur. 2d 2199 (2007), Continuity and permanence
A policy may include the element of continuity, and undertake to insure only for loss
resulting from bodily injuries that wholly and "continuously" disable the insured. In this
context, the word "continuously" means regularly, protracted, enduring, and without any
substantial interruption of sequence. [fn1] Where the policy language is unambiguous, a
finding that there was a period following an employee's injury during which he was not
disabled precludes recovery under a policy requiring continuity of injury. [fn2]
Where a policy provides for the payment of the compensation for permanent disability,
and then stipulates that such payments will be made only during the continuance of the
disability, the insured is entitled to recover if the nature of the injury renders it reasonable
to suppose that he will be permanently disabled. [fn3] If it turns out that, contrary to
expectation, the disablement was not permanent, then payments cease. [fn4]
Under a policy requiring that total disability must have existed continuously for at least a
specified period, the presumption of permanency attaches to a proved total disability after
it has existed continuously for such time, [fn5] even if the cause of the disability is no
longer the same as what it was when first incurred. [fn6] But if the insured is totally
disabled for a time but not totally disabled within the policy definition following the
lapse of the prescribed period, his recovery is limited to whatever the contracts provides
for in the case of temporary total disability. [fn7]

2195 Generally; what constitutes "total disability"
cases
Under Florida law, letter from disability insurer's chief underwriting officer to insured
physician clarifying, at insured's request, that insured's "regular occupation" was invasive
and interventional cardiology, not cardiology as insurer originally had stated, was
bargained-for modification of total disability insurance policy, and thus was controlling,
for for purposes of policy's definition of disability as "[inability] . . . to engage in
[insured's] regular occupation or profession." Kraft v. Massachusetts Cas. Ins. Co., 320 F.
Supp. 2d 1234 (N.D. Fla. 2004).
2196 Occupational disability
cases
Insured under a disability insurance policy was regularly engaged in an occupation at the
time of his disability and, thus, could fit the policy's definition of total disability, even
though insured was not actively employed at time of his disability, and had not worked in
over 18 months due to the injury; policy language did not require insured to be actively
employed. McPhee v. The Paul Revere Life Ins. Co., 883 So. 2d 364 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App.
4th Dist. 2004).
31 Fla. Jur. 2d 2191, Duty of insured to remove disability
An insured who is suffering from a disability is under a duty to avail himself or herself of
all reasonable means and remedies to remove such disability. [fn1] Thus, an osteopath
with a skin condition on his hands, diagnosed as infectious eczematoid dermatitis, was
denied benefits for total disability where he made no effort to have his condition treated
by a dermatologist until after filing his claim of disability, which was several years after
the onset of the condition, having previously prescribed and administered his own
10

treatment, which consisted mostly of trying out free samples sent to him by
pharmaceutical companies; and where there was no evidence that with a proper diagnosis
and regimen the condition would not yield to treatment. [fn2]
If, however, there is a difference of opinion among doctors about the cause of the
disability, benefits may not be withheld because of the party's failure to follow the
medical advice of the insurer's doctor. [fn3]

Appendix 21, AmeriFace refused to provide name of counsel that might represent me,

AmeriFace is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt public charity (#32-0085490). It was founded in 1991 to


provide educational and emotional support to persons born with craniofacial anomalies and their
families. Debbie Oliver is the Executive Director, and claims AmeriFace is a premier support
organization but refused to provide to me and the name of an attorney who might assist me.
11

On March 13, 2015 at 12.00 PM Ms. Oliver posted on Facebook about being contacted by
attorneys, "For more than five years, our organization has been contacted by attorneys...
On March 13, 2015 at 12:19 PM Ms. Oliver posted on Facebook,
...the inquiry this morning came from a law firm run by an attorney ****who sits
on the board of directors of a so-called cleft support organization!!**** Are you kidding
me? This is NOT right. I am just about beside myself right now...this is a law firm we
turned down years ago, one that found an opening somewhere else in the cleft community
- and now that person is on the legal website endorsing the attorney, saying he has been
"fundamentally helpful in the growth of our organization." Folks, when you need support,
stick with the premier support organization for the cleft/craniofacial community! Invite
your friends and acquaintances to join us at...where there is no underlying agenda!
Unfortunately, there is an underlying agenda with AmeriFace that results in discrimination
against a protected class of adult persons with craniofacial anomaly-related disabilities.
Unfortunately parents of the afflicted are some of the worst offenders. The problem is
compounded exponentially when they are in positions of authority in AmeriFace and
other groups purporting to serve the cleft/craniofacial community.
In fact they only serve the parent agenda within the cleft/craniofacial community.
Attached is a paper published by the Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal, July 2011, Vol. 48
No. 4, Impact of a Cleft Lip and/or Palate on Maternal Stress and Attachment
Representations that explains the parent phenomenon to some extent. Also attached is
an abstract of the paper.
There are two separate cleft/craniofacial communities. AmeriFace and Cleft Advocate is a
community of parents of children born with facial birth defects. There is some crossover
with parents of children who acquire facial disfigurement through illness or accidents.
Parent groups may minimize the consequence of facial birth defects as an ego defense,
and as a coping mechanism regarding their children with facial disfigurement.
Adult survivors of facial birth defects are a reminder to some parents of the limitations of
craniofacial surgery to create normalcy from what is missing or deformed. Bigotry and
prejudice of certain parents toward afflicted adults may fall along the same lines as racial
hatred, and discrimination based on social class, ethnicity, religion, disability and sexual
orientation.

For some reason Citibank, N.A. and Synchrony Bank did not properly credit payments I timely
made to credit card accounts with Best Buy and Amazon.com. It has taken an enormous amount
of time to rectify this situation, which I have done. The accounts are now closed with no balance.

The U.S. Eleventh Circuit failed to honor its Order entered in 13-11585-B July 25, 2013,

before HULL, WILSON and JORDAN, Circuit Judges. BY THE COURT: (Exhibit 10).
...Should Gillespie wish to petition for mandamus relief, he may file a separate petition
for a writ of mandamus or prohibition with this Court. See 28 U.S.C. 1651,
Fed.R.App.P.21.
My letter January 12, 2015 to The Honorable Ed Carnes, Chief Judge began, This letter
concerns an Order June 25, 2013 authorizing me to file a petition under 28 USC 1651, the all writs
act, in Case 13-11585-B, Reverse Mortgage Solutions v Neil J. Gillespie et al. (Exhibit 11)
Former Clerk John Ley responded by letter dated January 20, 2015. (Exhibit 12).
Appeal Number: 13-11585-B
Case Style: Reverse Mortgage Solutions, In v. Neil Gillespie, et al
District Court Docket No: 5:13-cv-00058-WTH-PRL
I am returning to you unfiled the papers which you have submitted.
In the absence of a pending appeal, as required by Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of
Appellate Procedure, this court has no jurisdiction to grant the relief requested.
This appeal was dismissed on 6/12/2013, and reconsideration on 7/25/2013.
No further action will be taken.
Former Clerk Ley is mistaken. The all writs act (28 USC 1651) is proper here, and
serves to negate the excuses Ley cited. Those reasons existed on June 25, 2013, which is why the
Courts Order July 25, 2013 authorized me to file a petition under 28 USC 1651 (all writs act) in
Case 13-11585-B, Reverse Mortgage Solutions v Neil J. Gillespie et al.
WHEREFORE, I responded to the Clerks email, Notice of New Requirement When
Filing Notice of Appeal. Later today I plan to file a motion for rehearing and clarification, in
PETITION NO. 5D15-0341.

PETITIONERS RULE 9.330 MOTION FOR


REHEARING;CLARIFICATION;CERTIFICATION
Of this Courts Order entered April 6, 2015 that denied
Petitioners Motion to Reinstate, filed March 18, 2015

Later today I also plan to file a motion to enlarge time in APPEAL NO. 5D15-0340.
I respectfully move the Court to grant such other and further relief as it deems just and
equitable, including an order reinstating PETITION NO. 5D15-0341, and enlarging time to file
the initial brief in APPEAL NO. 5D15-0340.
In the alternative, I move for appointment of counsel under the Americans With
Disabilities Act (ADA) as amended, and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, and hereby
give notice of appeal of the order dismissing the petition to the Supreme Court of Florida.

DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL, FIFTH DISTRICT


STATE OF FLORIDA
NOTICE
Informing the Appellate Court of Pending Motions Postponing Rendition at time of Filing the Notice of
Appeal
April 10, 2015
Effective January 1, 2015, Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.020(i)(3) has been amended to
eliminate the abandonment of motions authorized pursuant to rule 9.020(l) by the filing of a notice of
appeal. Rendition of a final order will be delayed by the filing or service of a timely and authorized
motion and the filing of a notice of appeal will not result in the abandonment of such a motion but rather
the appeal shall be held in abeyance until the filing of a signed, written order disposing of the motion.
Attorneys and parties filing a notice of appeal should immediately inform the court by the filing of a
proper notice if a motion postponing rendition is pending so that the case may properly be held in
abeyance. Likewise, the attorneys or parties in the case should inform the court by notice upon the
lower tribunal disposition of such motions by filing a copy of the lower tribunals signed, written order
disposing of the motion.
Lower court clerks, lower tribunal clerks, and agency clerks are now required to complete a new section
of the electronic transmittal form submitted when efiling notices of appeal to this court which must
indicate whether or not a motion postponing rendition is pending in the case below. Clerks must mark
this section of the form or the notice of appeal may be rejected until such time as the transmittal form is
properly completed.

Response to Mr. Minter
Dear Mr. Tomasino, Mr. Minter and Clerk Simmons:
Mr. Minter, this is to acknowledge your email about public records below. I am unable to respond
further until I finish my Amended Petition for Writ of Prohibition Case No. 5D15-0341. As you know,
you and Judge Stancil invoked the same wrong Drivers License Competence Test for Title II ADA,
which I attribute to the corrupting influence of David R. Ellspermann, Marion County Clerk of Court &
Comptroller.
My motion to reinstate the petition (attached) was denied April 6, 2015 (attached) without response to
my request for appointment of counsel under the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) as amended,
and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, or response to notice of appeal of the order dismissing
the petition to the Supreme Court of Florida.
I am still working on the petition, it is taking longer than planned due to disability, and the amount of
work involved, such as twenty or so appendices. Please find attached Appendix Volume No. 13 to refute

the same wrong Drivers License Competence Test for Title II ADA advanced by you and Judge Stancil.
Appendix Volume No. 13 (Rule 9.220), Amended Petition For Writ of Prohibition
RE: Judge Stancils Drivers License Competence Test for Title II ADA
Appendix Volume No. 14 (Rule 9.220), Amended Petition For Writ of Prohibition, will show significant
loss of brain function following traumatic brain injury in 1988, shown by the results a WRAT-R2 test
(Wide Range Achievement Test-R2), part of my vocational screening by the Florida Division of
Vocational Rehabilitation in 1993/1994.
My health continues to decline. Due to indigence I was not able to purchase a prescription costing
$422.95 for Lantus Solostar insulin (100 units) see attached. On Monday April 6, 2015 my doctor
interpreted the results of the attached CT scan of me from March 16, 2015: C5-6, moderate to severe left
neural foramina stenosis due to uncovertebral joint hypertrophy. This condition may explain neuropathy
in both my hands that makes typing difficult and painful.
Mr. Minter, I believe your incentive-based salary puts you in conflict with the citizens of Marion
County, as you strive to meet "certain performance benchmarks" instead of providing public service.
The Ocala Star Banner reported July 7, 2010, "Marion hires Seminole County's Minter as county
attorney". (attached)
"If Minter meets certain performance benchmarks to be set by the commission, his
salary would rise to $180,000 in the second year."
http://www.ocala.com/article/20100707/ARTICLES/100709777
This conflict likely explains why you failed to respond to my policy dispute submitted May 1, 2014 for
six weeks. Ultimately MCU returned my deposit in the amount of $150, which negates your position.
The county still owes me return of the $55 transfer fee wrongly charged.
I requested and was denied disability accommodation for access to information ultimately found here:
https://www.municode.com/library/fl/marion_county/codes/code_of_ordinances
The above link is to the Municode library for the Marion County Florida Code of Ordinances. This is
about getting information that Marion County did not want to provide. The above link does not appear
on the Marion County Utilities website that I know of. The utility application is not online. To make an
informed decision, I need to obtain and review this information in advance and in quiet, without a MCU
employee lying to me and presenting false choices, and demanding a decision prior to leaving its
dilapidated office, which I understand has moved.
Your claim that F.S. 282.601 - 282.606 does not apply to local governments is negated by MCUs
duty under section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act which is a similar law, and one Marion County is
obligated to obey as a recipient of federal funds. MCU could resolve this by,
A. Placing access to its utilities application online.
B. Providing a link to the Municode library for the Marion County Florida Code of Ordinances
https://www.municode.com/library/fl/marion_county/codes/code_of_ordinances
The Municode library is a usable form of the Code. The PDF version offered by the County is far less
accessable, or not accessable in some cases of disability.
This is not a question about being "an ambulatory individual with a driver's license, able to speak, hear,

4/27/2015

Page 3 of 7

read and write". This is not a question of being "physically capable of accessing the offices of Marion
County Utilities". That is compete and utter nonsense. Marion County Utility overcharged me by $205.
That shows without accommodation, Marion County defrauded me.
MCU employees misrepresented to me the requirements of Sec. 19-181, customer deposits, when I
appeared in person at the MCU office, on Tuesday, April 29, 2014.
1. MCU employees wrongly portrayed that a certain sequence applied to the establishment of credit
under Sec. 19-181(a). Specifically, MCU insisted that if a credit review under (a)(5) was denied, that
denial foreclosed all other options except (a)(2), the applicant pays a cash deposit. MCU lied, because
option (a)(4) was available to me to establish credit under 19-181(a). However I was unaware that MCU
was lying to me because I did not have access to the Code in a usable form.
2. MCU employees wrongly portrayed that under (a)(4), the account "must be in your name". Again,
MCU lied, and I was unaware that MCU was lying because I did not have access to a usable form of
Code. An applicant need only provide a letter from another public utility stating the applicant has two
(2) years of good account history as defined by (a)(4).
Mr. Minter, you wrote June 18, 2014 that Marion County Utilities does not have provisions for
"economic hardship", but you would be pleased to review any such provisions. On July 28, 2010 the
United Nations General Assembly explicitly recognized, through Resolution 64/292, the human right to
safe drinking water and sanitation, and acknowledged that clean drinking water and sanitation are
essential to the realisation of all human rights. The United States is a member of the UN and subject to
Resolution 64/292. Under Resolution 64/292, everyone in Florida has a human right to water and
sanitation. (attached, and at the link) http://www.un.org/es/comun/docs/?
symbol=A/RES/64/292&lang=E
See the attached UN press release, also at the link
http://www.ohchr.org/EN/NewsEvents/Pages/DisplayNews.aspx?NewsID=14777&LangID=E
"GENEVA (25 June 2014) Three UN experts* on the human rights to water and sanitation, adequate
housing, and extreme poverty and human rights expressed concern Wednesday about reports of
widespread water disconnections in the US city of Detroit of households unable to pay water bills.
"Disconnection of water services because of failure to pay due to lack of means constitutes a violation of
the human right to water and other international human rights," the experts said. "Disconnections due to
non-payment are only permissible if it can be shown that the resident is able to pay but is not paying. In
other words, when there is genuine inability to pay, human rights simply forbids disconnections," said
Catarina de Albuquerque, the expert on the human right to water and sanitation."
The foregoing is only a fraction of my ultimate final response to your letter of June 18, 2014 (attached),
a response which may exceed 100 pages with supporting documents.
To the Court(s) and Clerk(s), the Florida legislature enacted Fla. Stat. 29.007 Court-appointed counsel,
see attached Appendix 11, AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION - Directory of Law Governing
Appointment of Counsel in FLORIDA Civil Proceedings
Fla. Stat. 29.007 Court-appointed counsel, "Subsections (3), (4), (5), (6), and (7) ... This section
applies in any situation in which the court appoints counsel to protect a litigants due process rights." A
plain reading of "any situation" includes HECM reverse home mortgage foreclosure in either the trial
court or appellate court, and ultimately the supreme court.

Mr. Tomasino, I am in receipt of the Florida Supreme Courts dismissed of petition SC14-1637, see
attached. Craig Waters denied a records request for the DOJ record notifying Chief Justice Jorge
Labarga that it is investigating the mental-health screening imposed by the Florida Supreme Court on
bar applicants. The Supreme Court wrongly denied a counsel appointment in SC14-1637 required under
Fla. Stat. 29.007 Court-appointed counsel, which has delayed my petition, to which I would now add
the records denial of Mr. Waters, and the ongoing records violations of Grace Fagan and the Fifth
Judicial Circuit, and their added requirements not imposed by Fla. R. Jud. Admin. Rule 2.420(m)(1).
Would that be a motion for rehearing, with new matters? Thank you.

Mr. Gillespie:

With respect to your message below, and your public records request dated January 2,
2015, neither I nor the County Attorneys office have any records related to the
Proclamations of Confederate History Month referenced in your letter. My office did not
prepare those proclamations, and had no involvement in handling or processing those
documents. The same answer applies to any records for the fundraising to move Johnny
Reb, and any accounts related thereto. We have no records on those topics. The same
answer applies to any records related to the reported receipt by Marion County of $2.5
million in federal stimulus funding. We have no records on those topics.

I therefor defer to whatever Mr. Harrell has reported to you with respect to records in the
possession of the Clerk.

Good evening Mr. Gillespie,

In researching your public records request to the County Attorney, I learned from the Clerk
of the Courts staff that they have already fulfilled the majority of the request. I spoke with
the Clerks General Counsel, Greg Harrell, and he has sent me all of his correspondence to
you which addresses the proclamations, the finance records of the fundraising for the
Johnny Reb statue, and the finance records of Marion Countys use of federal stimulus
funds.

In regard to the last portion of your request concerning your utility account, our Utilities
Director has confirmed that nothing has changed since last summer. As you stated, you
received a notification from Dr. Lee Niblock explaining that your account would be
credited $150, but the $55 transfer fee was still applicable. That action remains in place as
the final determination of your request for a refund.

This information fulfills your public records request.

Thank you,

RULE 4-1.1 COMPETENCE


4 RULES OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT
4-1 CLIENT-LAWYER RELATIONSHIP

RULE 4-1.1 COMPETENCE


A lawyer shall provide competent representation to a client. Competent representation requires the legal knowledge, skill,
thoroughness, and preparation reasonably necessary for the representation.
Comment
Legal knowledge and skill
In determining whether a lawyer employs the requisite knowledge and skill in a particular matter, relevant factors include the
relative complexity and specialized nature of the matter, the lawyer's general experience, the lawyer's training and experience in the
field in question, the preparation and study the lawyer is able to give the matter, and whether it is feasible to refer the matter to, or
associate or consult with, a lawyer of established competence in the field in question. In many instances the required proficiency is
that of a general practitioner. Expertise in a particular field of law may be required in some circumstances.
A lawyer need not necessarily have special training or prior experience to handle legal problems of a type with which the lawyer is
unfamiliar. A newly admitted lawyer can be as competent as a practitioner with long experience. Some important legal skills, such
as the analysis of precedent, the evaluation of evidence and legal drafting, are required in all legal problems. Perhaps the most
fundamental legal skill consists of determining what kind of legal problems a situation may involve, a skill that necessarily
transcends any particular specialized knowledge. A lawyer can provide adequate representation in a wholly novel field through
necessary study. Competent representation can also be provided through the association of a lawyer of established competence in
the field in question.
In an emergency a lawyer may give advice or assistance in a matter in which the lawyer does not have the skill ordinarily required
where referral to or consultation or association with another lawyer would be impractical. Even in an emergency, however,
assistance should be limited to that reasonably necessary in the circumstances, for ill-considered action under emergency conditions
can jeopardize the client's interest.
A lawyer may accept representation where the requisite level of competence can be achieved by reasonable preparation. This
applies as well to a lawyer who is appointed as counsel for an unrepresented person. See also rule 4-6.2.
Thoroughness and preparation
Competent handling of a particular matter includes inquiry into and analysis of the factual and legal elements of the problem, and
use of methods and procedures meeting the standards of competent practitioners. It also includes adequate preparation. The
required attention and preparation are determined in part by what is at stake; major litigation and complex transactions ordinarily
require more extensive treatment than matters of lesser complexity and consequence. The lawyer should consult with the client
about the degree of thoroughness and the level of preparation required as well as the estimated costs involved under the

http://www.floridabar.org/divexe/rrtfb.nsf/FV/63890D65476BC14985257170006C3936

circumstances.
Maintaining competence
To maintain the requisite knowledge and skill, a lawyer should keep abreast of changes in the law and its practice, engage in
continuing study and education, and comply with all continuing legal education requirements to which the lawyer is subject.

RULE 4-1.3 DILIGENCE


4 RULES OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT
4-1 CLIENT-LAWYER RELATIONSHIP

RULE 4-1.3 DILIGENCE


A lawyer shall act with reasonable diligence and promptness in representing a client.
Comment
A lawyer should pursue a matter on behalf of a client despite opposition, obstruction, or personal inconvenience to the lawyer and
take whatever lawful and ethical measures are required to vindicate a client's cause or endeavor. A lawyer must also act with
commitment and dedication to the interests of the client and with zeal in advocacy upon the client's behalf. A lawyer is not bound,
however, to press for every advantage that might be realized for a client. For example, a lawyer may have authority to exercise
professional discretion in determining the means by which a matter should be pursued. See rule 4-1.2. The lawyer's duty to act with
reasonable diligence does not require the use of offensive tactics or preclude the treating of all persons involved in the legal process
with courtesy and respect.
A lawyer's workload must be controlled so that each matter can be handled competently.
Perhaps no professional shortcoming is more widely resented than procrastination. A client's interests often can be adversely
affected by the passage of time or the change of conditions; in extreme instances, as when a lawyer overlooks a statute of
limitations, the client's legal position may be destroyed. Even when the client's interests are not affected in substance, however,
unreasonable delay can cause a client needless anxiety and undermine confidence in the lawyer. A lawyer's duty to act with
reasonable promptness, however, does not preclude the lawyer from agreeing to a reasonable request for a postponement that will
not prejudice the lawyer's client.
Unless the relationship is terminated as provided in rule 4-1.16, a lawyer should carry through to conclusion all matters undertaken
for a client. If a lawyer's employment is limited to a specific matter, the relationship terminates when the matter has been resolved. If
a lawyer has served a client over a substantial period in a variety of matters, the client sometimes may assume that the lawyer will
continue to serve on a continuing basis unless the lawyer gives notice of withdrawal. Doubt about whether a client-lawyer
relationship still exists should be clarified by the lawyer, preferably in writing, so that the client will not mistakenly suppose the
lawyer is looking after the client's affairs when the lawyer has ceased to do so. For example, if a lawyer has handled a judicial or
administrative proceeding that produced a result adverse to the client and the lawyer and the client have not agreed that the lawyer
will handle the matter on appeal, the lawyer must consult with the client about the possibility of appeal before relinquishing
responsibility for the matter. See rule 4-1.4(a)(2). Whether the lawyer is obligated to prosecute the appeal for the client depends on
the scope of the representation the lawyer has agreed to provide to the client. See rule 4-1.2.

We recently told you that you met the medical requirements to receive Social
Security benefits. Now we are writing to tell you that you meet the other
requirements. Therefore you qualify for monthly disability benefits from Social
Security beginning July 1992.
However, we cannot pay you for July 1992 through July 1993.
The Date You Became Disabled

We found that you became disabled under our rules on January 17, 1992. This is
different from the date given on the application.
Also, you have to be disabled for 5 full calendar months in a row before you can
be entitled to benefits. For these reasons, your first month of entitlement to
benefits is July 1992.
What We Will Pay And When

You will receive $1,185.00 for August 1993 around September 3, 1993.

After that you will receive $1,185.00 each month.

Your Benefits

We raised your monthly benefit amount beginning December 1992 because the
cost of living increased.

Pub 05-10072

. 160-52-5117HA

Page 2 of 3

Other Government Payments Affect Benefits

Besides the money we are sending you now, you may be due some more Social
Security money for July 1992 through July 1993. We must first subtract the
amount of your Supplemental Security Income payments for some or all of these
months from the Social Security money you are due. When we figure the
amount we have to subtract, we will send another letter to show how it was
done. If you are still due some money after the subtraction, we will also send
you a check.
Other Social Security Benefits

The benefit described in this letter is the only one you can receive from Social
Security. If you think that you might qualify for another kind of Social Security
benefit in the future, you will have to file another application.
Do You Disagree With The Decision?

If you think we are wrong, you have the right to appeal. A person who did not
make the first decision will decide your case. We will correct any mistakes. We
will review those parts of the decision which you believe are wrong and will look
at any new facts you have. We may also review those parts which you believe
are correct and may make them unfavorable or less favorable to you.

You have 60 days to ask for an appeal.

The 60 days start the day after you receive this letter.

You must have a good reason if you wait more than 60 days to ask for an
appeal.

Things To Remember For The Future

The doctors and other trained personnel who decided that you are disabled expect
your health to improve. Therefore, we will review your case in July 1994. We
will send you a letter before we start the review. Based on that review, your
benefits will continue if you are still disabled, but will end if no longer disabled.
For you to be considered disabled under our rules, your health problems must
keep you from doing not only your usual work, but also any other kind of
substantial gainful work.
Also, you must meet this requirement at the same time when you have earned
enough credits for work under Social Security. The last date when you will have
earned enough credits is December 1994.
Please read the enclosed pamphlet, "How You Earn Social Security Credits,"
which explains how the credits are earned and how many a person needs to
receive benefits.

Your Responsibilities

The decisions we made on your claim are based on information you gave us. If
this information changes, it could affect your benefits. For this reason, it is
important that you report changes to us right away.
We have enclosed a pamphlet, "When You Get Social Security Disability
Benefits...What You Need To Know." It will tell you what must be reported and
how to report. Please be sure to read the parts of the pamphlet which explain
what to do if you go to work or if your health improves.
If You Want Help With Your Appeal

You can have a friend, lawyer or someone else help you. There are groups that
can help you find a lawyer or give you free legal services if you qualify. There
are also lawyers who do not charge unless you win your appeal. Your local Social
Security office has a list of groups that can help you with your appeal.
If you get someone to help you, you should let us know. If you hire someone, we
must approve the fee before he or she can collect it. And if you hire a lawyer, we
will withhold up to 25 percent of any past due benefits to pay toward the fee.
If You Have Any Questions

If you have any questions, call us toll free at 1-800-772-1213. We can answer
most questions over the phone. You can also write or visit any Social Security

HISTORY:

Cervical radiculopathy.

EXAM: CT CERVICAL SPINE WITH COMPUTERIZED MULTIPLANAR RECONSTRUCTION.


TECHNIQUE: A helical examination was performed through the cervical spine
without contrast. Computerized multiplanar reconstruction was performed.
FINDINGS:
Comparison: MRI of the cervical spine 8/28/2007.
No significant spondylolisthesis.
C2-3, no significant spinal canal or neural foramina narrowing.
C3-4, no significant spinal canal or neural foramina narrowing.
C4-5, no significant spinal canal or neural foramina narrowing.
C5-6, moderate to severe left neural foramina stenosis due to uncovertebral
joint hypertrophy. It is difficult to adequately evaluate the spinal canal due
to beam hardening artifact from the patient's shoulders.
C6-C7, no significant neural foramina narrowing. Difficult to adequately
evaluate the spinal canal due to large body habitus.
C7-T1, no significant neural foramina narrowing.

Impression:
1. Difficult to adequately evaluate the spinal canal from C5-6 through C7-T1 due
to beam hardening artifact secondary to large body habitus.
2. At C5-6, moderate to severe left neural foramina stenosis due to
uncovertebral joint hypertrophy.
