Email Body
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; youve 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 isnt 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 youd 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.

Brett,
Thank you. I received the client portal link on Friday, March 6, 2026, following my January 28, 2026 request for a complete copy of my client file.
It will take some time to download and review the file in full. I appreciate you uploading the materials to the portal and have begun reviewing them.
Because the portal requires each item to be downloaded individually, would it be possible to provide a bulk export of the file (for example, a ZIP download of the documents, emails, and attachments), at least starting for the period from January 2024 to present? That would make it much easier for me to organize and review the materials efficiently.
Once I am able to download and review the materials fully, I will be able to confirm whether the production is complete. After completing that review, I will follow up if any documents or communications appear to be missing.
Best,
Sarah
