Dr. Daniel Bober is seeking to abandon the lawsuit filed by Demoree Hadley, CEO of Rock Nation, after authorizing an involuntary psychiatric assessment in Florida under the Beck and Marcheman Conduct.
In a motion filed in court, Bob asked all his claims to be dismissed by bias, believing that the allegations were legally hollow and based on speculation.
Perez contacted a psychiatrist who feared his daughter would hurt herself. Bob then talks to multiple people who describe Hadley’s behavior as unstable and worrying.
Under these accounts, Bob started an involuntary psychiatric assessment under Florida’s Baker Act, which allows authorities to detain individuals who may pose a danger to themselves or others.
Hadley’s lawsuit accused Bober of conspiring with her mother, violating her civil rights, committing medical malpractice, abuse of the Marlman Act and causing emotional distress.
The complaint also claims that Bob was financially affected by Perez.
Bob’s legal team backed down, pointing out that the claim lacked factual support and failed to meet the legal standards required by Florida law.
“The complaint is speculative and conclusive,” the motion reads, which he believes Hadley failed to follow the necessary pre-litigation proceedings for medical negligence claims.
The bill also argues that Bob is not a government actor and therefore cannot be prosecuted under the federal civil rights law. It says he acts sincerely under state regulations, which may give him immunity.
In the Marcheman Act, which deals with drug abuse treatment, Bober’s lawyers said he did not play any role in filing any petition and was protected by law.
As for the claim of emotional distress, the motion says the allegations are too vague and the alleged behavior does not meet the legal standards of the outrageous behavior.
Bob also asked the court to make several statements from the lawsuit, including claims that he was paid by Perez, that he was a “rogue doctor” and that he should have lost his medical license. His team said these were “scandal, irrelevant and unsupported”.
The motion further aims to eliminate Hadley’s claim, which held that they had no legal basis under the claims filed.
The court has not ruled the motion.
