the future; and taking a formal mental status examination; taking a history of 

Plaintiff’s physical conditions; as well as any other subjects Dr. Herman deems 

necessary to make a determination in this case. 

3. The examination may also include an interview regarding any and all injuries, 

effects, problems or conditions which are claimed to have resulted from or been 

sustained by Plaintiff as a result of the incidents giving rise to this lawsuit, 

whether they be psychological in nature or physical in nature. 

4. The examination may include, but need not be limited to, mental or psychiatric 

testing of Plaintiff based upon the discretion and professional judgment of Dr. 

Herman. The results of such tests shall be provided with the examiner’s report 

to Plaintiff’s counsel. 

5. No person shall attend the examination other than Plaintiff. 

6. The examination shall not be video, audio or electronically recorded. 

7. The examination shall continue so long as reasonably required, although it will 

not go longer than 4 p.m. on the scheduled date. Breaks for personal comfort 

or necessity may be taken as needed during this time. In some cases, because 

the examination starts late, or because of the complexity of the history or issues, 

or because of communication problems, the examination might require more 

time. If the examining doctors are unable to complete the examination on the 

scheduled day, Plaintiff shall cooperate with Defendant and Dr. Herman in 

arranging a mutually convenient date and time as soon thereafter as possible 

on which to continue the mental examination. 

8. To change the date and time of the examination, without any charge or expense, 

Plaintiff must provide at least 72 hours prior written and telephone notice to 

defense counsel. In the event Plaintiff does not provide such notice, or if 

Plaintiff fails to attend on the scheduled date for a reason other than an 

unforeseeable incapacity illness, a nonappearance fee of up to $2,000 will be 

charged to Plaintiff.
