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

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.
AND FURTHER, the deponent sayeth not.
