Court Denies Motion to Violate First Amendment

(PRWEB) November 6, 2005 -- Anthony Pirrotti, Jr., an attorney representing several pediatricians in a lawsuit filed by Cory Rosenbaum, Esquire, on behalf of a dead infant’s parents, demanded the Supreme Court of New York for Rockland County force attorney Rosenbaum to remove information from his website which the pediatricians feared was damaging their reputations.

The original case, Rivas vs Paul Bloom, M.D., Shoeb Amin, M.D., and Dipak Banker, M.D., Index No. 1254/98, arose when, in the care of these pediatricians, six-month old Christopher Rivas died as a result of a common infection—pseudomonas aeruginosa (swimmer’s ear). Young Christopher saw the pediatricians ten times over a six-week period. The doctors never ordered crucial blood tests and failed to correctly diagnose his condition. Christopher died in the hospital after his fevered body, wracked with pain, hemorrhaged from every orifice.

Pirrotti demanded the Court force Attorney Rosenbaum to remove several press releases from his website, including “What Is a Baby’s Life Worth,” an article that focused on an insulting $15,000 offer made by the pediatricians to the dead baby’s parents.

After reviewing all of the documentation, the Court refused to suppress the information. “It isn’t enough that these doctors were negligent and caused the death of baby Christopher. The Rivas family had to bury their son, and now these doctors wanted the Court to bury their mistakes,” said Mr. Rosenbaum outside the Court.

The previous press releases concerning the low-ball offers, Rosenbaum’s quest for additional victims of these pediatricians, and topical information about the impending trial remain on the website and on the Internet. Said Mr. Rosenbaum of the Court’s decision, “It’s only fair that parents have access to all information where it concerns the health of their children. It is attorneys like Pirrotti who, by demanding nothing ever be said about their doctor clients, perpetuate tragedies like this.”
