   Re: Richard Dement Dunn

   ToWhom It MayConcern,

            Mr. Dunnes has been underactive care for chronic sinusitis with secondary otitis media
   that has shown limited response to treatmentthus far. It not onlyaffects his hearing
   significantly but also has an effect on general endurance. In my opinion this significantly affects
   his ability to function as an active attorney in court.
   His current prognosis for return to full function is at feast until December 18,2015, as he has
   been consulting with another specialist as well. If you have any further inquiries, please feel
   freeto contact my office.
  Sincerely,

                           it*
