Ref.:  Thomas C. Padgett

Dear Gentlemen:

Thomas is being treated by me for a 
herniated  L5-S1 disk.  He has a significant
amount of back and left leg pain.  This is
worsened by bending, lifting, or sitting.
He should avoid traveling by car or plane
or any sitting over 30 minutes.

I am therefore, advising him not to travel
to Kentucky to provide legal testimony; 
it would not be medically advisable to do
so at this time.

Sincerely,

(signature)
Robert A. Monighetti, M.D.

Note:  Copies were given to Laura
Padgett's civil and criminal lawyers
as well as the local KY circuit court
with a request for deposition format
or phone testimony (which is allowed
by law,) but was ignored and denied.
Legal harassment at it's finest!
