RE: Barbara Clevenger v. Susan Donnelly, M.D., et al.
C.A. N0: WCC
D7 -500
Dear Judge F arnan:
I received a call from your office regarding the Affidavit of Merit filed in Superior Court.
Apparently, the sealed documents were not forwarded to District Court after the transfer. Those
documents are maintained in a separate area in the office of the Prothonotary so that a Judge can
request them for review.
I spoke with Rich Galperin and advised him that I would send a copy of the Affidavit to
the Court. Mr. Galperin will receive a copy of this letter, but will not receive a copy of the
Affidavit, pursuant to the rule. I have enclosed a copy of the Affidavit and respectfully request
that the Court conduct an in-camera review and retain the document under seal, only to be
reviewed by the Court.
When the request is made to review the Affidavit in the Superior Court, the Court
typically issues an Order indicating that the Affidavit was reviewed and whether it is in
compliance with the statute. Obviously, I have no objection to the Court’s review.
Respectfully submitted,_\
Gilbert F. Shelsby, Jr.
