DECLARATION OF
PAUL F. CALLAN
-------------------------------------------------------------------X
PAUL F. CALLAN, ESQ., pursuant to 28 USC § 1746, declares under penalty of
perjury that the following is true, based upon his personal knowledge and review of the
file in this action:
1. I am of counsel to the law firm of Callan, Koster, Brady, Brennan & Nagler, LLP,
attorneys for defendant DR. LILIAN ALDANA-BERNIER, in the above-entitled action. I
am fully familiar with the facts and circumstances of this case based on a review of the
file materials maintained in this office.
2. This declaration is submitted in support of the motion of defendant DR. LILIAN
ALDANA-BERNIER’s (hereinafter Aldana-Bernier) for summary judgment to dismiss
plaintiff’s claims for relief under 42. U.S.C. §1983, to dismiss his claim for intentional
infliction of emotional distress under New York State law, to remand the surviving state
law claims to state court, and for such other and further relief as this Court may deem
just and proper.
3. Attached as Exhibit “A” is a true and accurate copy of plaintiff Adrian Schoolcraft’s
Second Amended Complaint, dated September 25, 2012.
4. Attached as Exhibit “B” is a true and accurate copy of defendant Lilian AldanaBernier, M.D.’s, Answer to plaintiff’s Second Amended Complaint, dated October 22,
2012.
5. Attached as Exhibit “C” is a true and accurate copy of Dr. Aldana-Bernier’s
affidavit dated December 19, 2014.
6. Attached as Exhibit “D” is a true and accurate copy of plaintiff’s medical records
from Jamaica Hospital Medical Center with redactions.
7. Attached as Exhibit “E” is a true and accurate copy of the expert report submitted
by plaintiff’s expert, Dr. Roy Lubit dated August 11, 2014.

Complaint, dated January 22, 2014.
10.
Dr. Aldana-Bernier previously moved for summary judgment on December
22, 2014, seeking relief similar to that sought herein. However, prior to the summary
judgment motion being fully briefed, Judge Sweet partially granted plaintiff’s motion to
amend his complaint for a third time and ordered that the parties could serve dispositive
motions to dismiss the Third Amended Complaint.
Further, no decision was ever
rendered as to Dr. Aldana-Bernier’s prior motion for summary judgment.
WHEREFORE, it is respectfully requested that the instant Motion be granted in its
entirety.
