Kevin Donavon Atkinson v. United States
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, No. 16-55146 · judgment June 26, 2017
Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate, with no standout signals pointing toward a grant.
Question presented
Does the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) establish a duty to a health care facility to maintain and amend a patient's medical record as has been determined by multiple State Appellant Courts? Should a mentally disabled Pro Se Plaintiff be allowed to introduce additional California Law at the Appellant Court Level that establishes a Duty owed him that he did not introduce at the District Court Level? This additional California Law would have prevented the District Court from granting the Defendant's Motion To Dismiss For Failure To State a Claim for Which Relief Can Be Granted. Is it OUTRAGEOUS as defined by an Intentional Infliction Of Emotional Distress Cause Of Action for a Defendant to abuse a mentally ill and mentally disabled Plaintiff while they are trying to cover up multiple traumas they inflicted on the Plaintiff and a possible crime?
