Judge/ Jurisdiction Eric M. Johnson Montgomery County Issues
Whether the respondent doctor was subject to discipline by the board involving activities while he was a licensed physician, even though he was no longer a licensed physician when the investigation began. This issue arose during the respondent’s application to renew his license after it had lapsed. The case also involved the question of whether the term “unprofessional conduct” in the relevant rules was void for vagueness. Finally, the court is asked to consider whether it was “unprofessional conduct” for the respondent doctor to have disclosed informa- tion learned from his patient to the media and to patient’s wife. Specifically, the respondent’s doctor was retained to meet with a defendant in a high profile criminal espionage case. During the course of his interviews with the defendant, the respondent doctor learned, for instance, of an extramarital affair in which the defendant had engaged. The respondent doctor disclosed this affair to the defendant’s wife, allegedly without permission. It was further alleged that the respondent doctor discussed the medical condition of the criminal defendant who the doctor had been engaged to interview with members of the media, including in an opinion piece he authored in the Washington Post.

Karen P. Moody, Esq. (410) 235-7535 Civil Procedure
Baltimore County
In a case involving a slip and fall in a puddle of water left from mopping at a Burger King restaurant, was there sufficient evidence to submit the issue of acceptance of the risk to the jury given that there was no evidence that the plaintiff was aware of the puddle of water before slipping and falling?

Where a pro se defendant failed to timely answer a request for admissions, did the court properly deem the requests admitted given the pro se defendant’s reliance on his understanding that the parties would reach settlement? Also at issue in the case is whether the trial court was required to make a finding regarding whether either party would be prejudiced because of untimely filing of the responses to request for admissions.
