Sarah,
Due to security concerns, we are limited in which, if any, devices can be connected to our computers to extract files. This is a security measure in place given the privileged information we hold for you and all other clients. That being said, we are working on extracting the information with our own, approved, device. As you know, there are quite a lot of files, and it will take a bit of time to get this organized. We will try to have this done by early next week.

Brett,
I wanted to follow up regarding the external hard drive that was delivered to your office yesterday morning.
Please let me know when it will be ready for pickup with my client file materials.
Thank you.
Best,
Sarah

Brett,
Thank you for the clarification.
As noted previously, I received access to the client portal on March 6, 2026 following my January 28, 2026 request for a complete copy of my client file.
As you mentioned, the option to export documents to a drive, I will gladly send an external hard drive to your office, attention to you, so the files can be copied directly to help expedite the review process. I will send the Amazon shipping confirmation today for the drive in a separate email and will coordinate retrieval as soon as possible.
Once I receive and review the full file on the drive, I will also confirm whether the file appears complete.
I understand the proposed order and the City of Brookhaven redlines remain pending. I will address those materials after I have completed my review of the complete client file.
At this stage, I am not yet in a position to provide a timeline for completing my review.
Best,
Sarah

Sarah,
The only way to send the entirety of the file, which I did, is via the practice management system. Otherwise, each document would need to be exported, downloaded, and added to an additional drive.
I am still waiting on your review of the proposed order with the redlines from the City of Brookhaven. It has been nearly two years since the settlement, which was read into the record, and the proposed order is to get the plat approved by the City/County. I need this done otherwise we risk a motion to compel being filed against us. Please provide me with a turnaround time for your review; you’ve had it for quite some time now and the other parties need an update. Again, this case was settled in May 2024, favorably and with your approval. Pushing the agreement out this long isn’t proper and it puts us in a bad position with the Judge. If we can get the order approving the plat/settlement (which is already enforceable as it was read into the record), which was the recommendation of Gaddy last year, we could be the ones to file a motion to enforce and seek sanctions; this is a far better legal strategy than having one filed against us.
Please let me know if you’d like to set up a call to discuss. I am unable to advocate for you without cooperation and I remain hopeful that this can be wrapped up in its entirety soon.
