Re: Estate of Sharon K. Metzger
File No.: 2001-00471
Dear Ms. Lewis:
In response to your notice of failure to file status report, I offer the following.
In the spring of 2001, Nancy Hockenberry, sister of Sharon Metzger, contacted our office
regarding pursuit of a medical malpractice claim. In order to pursue a claim, we needed to have
an administrator appointed who could authorize the release of medical records for review. The
estate was opened for this sole purpose.
Following a review of the medical records, it was our opinion that there was no basis for
a malpractice claim and on January 29,2002 Ms. Hockenberry was advised of our decision and
the need to secure other counsel if she wished to pursue a lawsuit. Weare not aware whether or
not she secured counsel. On July 9,2002, we forwarded the status report to Ms. Hockenberry
and askcd her to see to it that it \vas completed and filed immediately.
Please accept this letter as an explanation of the status ofthis estate as it relates to my
representation. If there is anything further that you need for me to do, please advise.
Very truly yours,
HANDLER, HENNING & ROSENBERG, LLP
