Sheely Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland Court House Hanover and High Streets CarliSle, PA 17013 County Re: Richard I. Bollendorf File No. 21-78-519 Our File No. 10104 Dear Judge Sheely: Enclosed please find the Affidavit of J. Stephen Snoke, D.O. As I had indicated in my earlier correspondence, Dr. Snoke has advised me that Richard's attendance at the hearing on August 10, 1992, at 1:30 p.m. will be very upsetting to him. Apparently, Richard is extremely agitated and combative and disruptions of his normal routine only exacerbate his condition. Consequently, I would be grateful if you would excuse Richard from the hearing so that we can avoid any disruptions and better protect Richard's physical and mental well being. Thank you. Very truly yours, KOZLOFF, DIENER, PAYNE & FEGLEY \.0 .?? 2k .A ~:.."'"'-. William R. Blumer WRB:mcb Enclosure ~ IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA ORPHANS' COURT DIVISION FILE NO. 21-78-519 IN RE: RICHARD I. BOLLENDORF AFFIDAVIT COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA: ss COUNTY OF CUMBERLAND J. STEPHEN SNOKE, D.O., deposes and says as follows: 1. Since May 1990, I have been physician for Richard I. Bollendorf at the Blue Ridge Haven West Nursing Home. 2. I am familiar with the physical and mental incapacity suffered by Richard I. Bollendorf as the result of my examinations and treatment of him during the past two years. 3. In February and April 1990, Richard I. Bollendorf suffered strokes which left him in a state of increased agitation and combativeness. As the result of his strokes and like-long mental retardation, Richard I. Bollendorf is not oriented to his surroundings or time and is unable to articulate his thoughts or feelings. 4. Currently, Richard I. Bollendorf must be physically restrained and wears a helmet to prevent self-injury to limit his inappropriate behavior, which includes undressing himself in public. . WRB:10104.AFF:July 29, 1992 5. Richard I. Bollendorf does not respond well to changes in his surroundings and becomes exceedingly agitated and combative when his daily routine is disturbed. 6. It is my opinion wi thin a reasonable degree of medical certainty that Richard I. Bollendorf's attendance at the court hearing on August 10, 1992, to consider the appointment of a guardian of his estate and person would pose a serious risk to Richard's physical and mental welfare. Specifically, his attendance at the hearing would increase his level of agitation and could lead to emotional trauma and the increased likelihood of self-inflicted injury.
