Update, Pinellas County Courthouse filings (notice another Motion for Protective Order has been filed by Felos....this is most likely in response to Bush's "Request for Production" (I assume, of documents...perhaps medical records, and, perhaps, other information):

Jeb Bush also served upon Felos "interrogatories" (interrogatories are questions. The Defendant always has the right to ask the plaintiff specific questions; they are limited in number, and the number may vary according to the state. In Colorado, I believe the number was 50, but I have forgotten). Felos may not answer them all....he may claim that they "are not likely to lead to admissible evidence." Then Bush would have to file a Motion to Compel, asking the Judge to force Felos to have HINO answer them....the judge makes the decision as to whether or not HINO would have to answer a particular question.

Bush also appears to have subpoenaed records from the Sun Coast hospice....Felos may have issued the Motion for Protective Order for that, as well, saying that they shouldn't have to supply any documentation to Bush, for the same reason "not likely to lead to admissible evidence." Another Motion to Compel might follow that, too, and then Felos' objection to it....which then puts the judge back into deciding if evidence must be given to Bush.

As you can see, Greer can do many things in this case to help Felos. And Greer is more likely than not to make sure that anything he does will be to help out Felos.....the other thing is: things that are within Greer's "discretion" cannot be appealed.

The only thing that Bush can appeal concerning Greer is if Greer errs on "matters of law"......otherwise, it's all "discretionary." We already know what Greer's discretion is.

Thanks for all your productive research on the legal aspects of this whole horror story. Those of us hundreds of miles of away are just as interested but can't just drive over. Are you (or other researchers) accumulating any bills for access to such material?

Hi, nic. Thanks for your posts on court info -- is there anything posted about when the Distressing Development: "Petition to Modify Visitation Rules" will be heard?
