They are records of one of his residents who is no longer at the home and the POA is not going to agree to signing the release. My understanding is that in order to subpoena records there needs to be a active litigation to get a court order. So in the absence of litigation or POA consent, is there any other way of getting these records. </div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Sangeeta</div><div><div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><span style="color: rgb(192, 0, 0); ">With Warm Regards,</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><span style="color: rgb(192, 0, 0); ">Sangeeta Saigal <br>Attorney at Law, PLLC <br>Phone: 425.698-9828<br>Website: </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 112, 192); "><a href="http://www.sangeetasaigal.com/" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; "><span style="color: rgb(0, 112, 192); ">http://www.sangeetasaigal.com</span></a></span><span style="color: rgb(192, 0, 0); "> <br><br></span> IMPORTANT NOTICE: This communication, including any attachments,<br>contains information that may be confidential, and may also be<br>protected by attorney client privilege or work product doctrine.
