From: Attorney Cristobal Bonifaz emailed explanations of VA legal objections

Following up on the piece of paper requiring us to tell the court we had never been charged with legal malpractice. The Supreme Court of
Tennessee ruled on another case that since none of us had ever been charged with legal malpractice we were not required to file that piece of
paper. The only issue back at the Supreme Court of Tennessee referred by the Sixth Circuit is whether the fact we filed extensive expert reports
overrides the requirement that we had to tell the Court that we had consulted with an expert. "Orwell". Cristobal

Hi Art; What has happened in the [other] cases you describe

is nothing compared with how desperate the VA has become
in preventing Tracys case from exposing the VA in Court. To
begin with VA has never denied responsibility for the suicide of
Scott. Three experts have testified that his suicide was the
direct consequence of VA negligence. A professor at Harvard, A
psychiatrist in Knoxville Tennessee and D. Rangle.

Case file with the VA in May of 2010, Case moved to Federal

Court in Tennessee in October of 2011 after the VA refuses to
discuss any possible settlement The court dismissed the case
arguing that the Complaint , even though it contained
extensive reports of the Boston and Knoxville expert failed to
contain an Affidavit from the Tennessee lawyers stating that
that had consulted with experts before filing the case. Absurd
beyond belief. The testimony supporting Tracy was right in
front of their noses. Court goes along with absurdity and

dismisses the case. We appealed to the Sixth Circuit. The Sixth

circuit reversed. The case goes back to the Judge. The VA
desperate now moves again to dismiss the case on newly
argued grounds. This time VA argues that Tennessee statute
of limitations supersedes the Federal Statute. Eager Judge
dismisses the case a second time. Case appealed to the Sixth
Circuit again. The Sixth Circuit refers the case to the Tennessee
Supreme Court. The Tennessee Supreme Court refuses to hear
the matter and returns the case to the Sixth Circuit. The Sixth
Circuit sends the case back to the Judge where it remains
dormant now for more than two years That completes 8 years
of torture for Tracy and her family without ever the VA
denying liability. This is an unbelievable malfeasance by the
VA. If you want details briefs or ruling look them up in Pacer.
If you do not have Pacer I will send them to you.
