New York Knicks game in 2017 has sparked a disagreement between Oakley and Madison Square Garden Networks over MSG’s access to medical records related to Oakley’s alleged injuries.
Last week, U.S. District Judge Richard J. Sullivan ruled that Oakley is not compelled to turn over medical records from an orthopedist or his communications with a psychotherapist, but instructed Oakley to provide the full name and contact information of a licensed massage therapist Oakley has only identified as “Darra.”
Oakley cites three medical providers (an orthopedist, psychotherapist and massage therapist) as treating his alleged injuries. Sullivan reasoned that since Oakley isn’t in possession of medical records related to the orthopedist, Oakley isn’t compelled to produce those records. The judge noted MSG can subpoena the orthopedist for the records, and if the orthopedist refuses, MSG can petition Sullivan to compel the orthopedist to comply.
