EO : The Court received letter briefs on March 8, 2002 pursuant to LR37.1. Defendant Queen's Medical Center's ("Defendant") letter brief is construed as a motion for independent psychological examination pursuant to Rule 35, Fed.R.Civ.P., and Plaintiff EEOC's ("Plaintiff") and Intervenor _________ Premaratne's ("Intervenor") letter briefs are construed as seeking a protective order as to an independent psychological examination or, alternatively, seeking limitations on such an examination. Defendant's request for Rule 35 examination is hereby GRANTED, and Plaintiff and Intervenor's request for protective order, including having Intervenor's expert attend the examination and taping the examination, is hereby DENIED. The allegations made raise an issue as to the nature and extent of Plaintiff's damages for emotional distress and therefore Defendant is entitled to a Rule 35 examination. There is no evidence that Intervenor is disabled or otherwise unable to submit to a reasonable psychological examination, including reasonable testing, without the presence of a third party nor is there any evidence to justify recording the examination. Intervenor is therefore ordered to undergo psychometric testing with Joseph Rogers, Ph.D. and a psychiartirc evaluation with Mark Stitham, M.D. on dates and at times mutually agreed upon by the parties and based upon the availability of the examiners. If Intervenor is unable to attend on Tuesday, March 12, 2002 at 1:00 pm. with Dr. Rogers and on Saturday, March 16 at 1:30 pm. with Dr. Stitham, then he will make himself available in Honolulu on the first available dates and at times mutually agreed upon by the parties and based upon the availability of the examiners. IT IS SO ORDERED. cc: all counsel via fax and hard copy ( Ct Rptr : ) JUDGE Mag Judge Leslie E. Kobayashi (eps) (Entered: 03/11/2002)

EO : "Intervenor Shyamal Premaratne ("Intervenor") seeks reconsideration of the Court's Order regarding Defendant Queen's Medical Center's ("Defendant") request for Rule 35 examination, specifically Intervenor objects to the psychiatric evaluation with Mark Stitham, M.D and argues that Dr. Stitham is "a biased defense expert". (Intervenor's 3/11/02 Ltr, at 1). Defendant is entitled to have the Rule 35 examination conducted by a qualified psychologist or psychiatrist. Intervenor has not demonstrated that Dr. Stitham is not qualified nor has he offered any specific evidence of bias. Alleged bias is not a reason for rejecting an examiner for purposes of Rule 35, Fed.R.Civ.P., and "the fact that the examining physician is regularly funded or paid by the moving party goes to the issue of the physician's credibility as a witness and not to the issue of qualification to conduct the examiniation." 7 Moore's Federal Practice, 35.07 2 (3d ed. 2001). Other courts have stated that, to hold otherwise, allows the plaintiff to dictate both the treating and the "independent" examiner: There is a reason for this. I see the purpose of Rule 35, Fed.R.Civ.P., as providing a level playing field as between the parties. Defendants have no say in determining what physician plaintiff chooses as his or her expert witness. Timpte v. District Court, 161 Colo. 309, 421 P.2d 728 (Colo., 1966). It follows that plaintiff's ability to object to an expert physician chosen by the defendant should be rather limited with any questions of bias or prejudice of either side's chosen expert being left to full exploration at trial. Gitto et al. v. Societa Anonima di Navigazione, Genova, 27 F.Supp. 785, 786 (E.D.N.Y., 1939). Looney v. National R.R. Passenger Corp., 142 F.R.D. 264, 265-266 (D.Mass. 1992). The motion for reconsideration is hereby DENIED. IT IS SO ORDERED. cc: all counsel via fax and hard copy [90-1] ( Ct Rptr : ) JUDGE Mag Judge Leslie E. Kobayashi (eps) (Entered: 03/12/2002)
