ROBERT STEWART VS. ERICA PYCH KURIEN D.O.

Matter on calendar for Tuesday, July 14, 2026, Line 9, PLAINTIFF ROBERT STEWART's Motion For Discovery With New Charges Against Erica Pych Kurien.

3 - Plaintiff Robert Stewart's motion for discovery with new charges against defendant Erica Kurien is denied without prejudice to being refiled with sufficient information for the court to be able to evaluate what discovery is sought to be compelled and whether Mr. Stewart is entitled to an order compelling that discovery.

Mr. Stewart's reply memorandum clarifies that this motion seeks records that are the subject of subpoenas he issued to defendant Erica Kurien and third party Abridge AI yet Mr. Stewart does not provide copies of those subpoenas so that the court is unable to evaluate whether he is entitled to any relief as to those subpoenas and it appears that the compliance date for responding to one or both subpoenas may have been after the filing of this motion, which would make this motion premature
