A malpractice trial is delayed, 200 patient appointments were cancelled:
Attorneys for the defendants, physicians Juan Cevallos and James Cuffe, told Cobb that a continuance would cost their clients money because both had cleared their schedules for the week.
Defense attorney Andrew Bolin said Cevallos had to reschedule about 200 appointments so he could appear for trial this week.
They also argued that Newlon had adequate time to prepare.
“All along they’ve said they want their day in court,” said Patrick Telan, an attorney for Cuffe. “Now they have it and don’t want it.”
Cobb granted the continuance with “my sincere apologies to the doctors.”
What to show true sincerity? How about reimbursing the physicians the lost revenue.
