RE: O'Bovle vs. The BDrouEh of Lon port. et al
Docket No.: ATL -L-3692-10
O'Boyle vs. Joseph DiLorenzo, et al
Docket No.: ATL -L-1985-09
Dear Judge Gibson:
This office represents 85 year old twin brothers Frank and Anthony "Tony" DiLorenzo. This
letter is respectfully submitted in lieu of a more formal submission to notify the Court that we join
in Mr. Merenich's pending Motions, especially the one which seeks production of the plaintiffs
psychological and/or psychiatric (mental health) records. The records are relevant, especially to
the defense of plaintiffs claims against each of Frank and Tony DiLorenzo. We respectfully ask
Your Honor order the production and/or release of that material.
Plaintiff has repeatedly argued that his mental health records are irrelevant because he previously
abandoned damage claims for his emotional distress and personal injuries for the intentional tort
he alleged against Frank and Tony DiLorenzo. Plaintiff alleged in his lawsuit that Frank and Tony
DiLorenzo drove their cars too closely to him while he stood on a street in Longport. Plaintiff
claimed that their proximity to him caused him to fear for his life and personal safety, and he
claimed that Frank and/or Tony issued an implied threat toward plaintiffs family. Plaintiff has, at
various times, alleged that Frank and Tony engaged in these acts in order to cause him to fear for
his safety. Frank and Tony each respectively deny these allegations - allegations which were the
subject of criminal charges filed by plaintiff and dismissed by the trial court - dismissals later
affirmed by the Law Division and the Appellate Division. The records related to plaintiffs mental
health are precisely relevant to the defense of his claims, since they relate directly to the credibility
of the claims, to wit: whether the incident even occurred. The records relate to plaintiffs
perceptions of events as he clahns trey occurred, and to the legitimacy of his claim that he feared
for his safety - a fear which he claimed caused him to make expenditures for armed security.

December 17, 3014 letter to Hon. Christopher Gibson, I.S.C.
Re: O'Boyle v. DiLorenzo et als.
Plaintiff claimed these expenditures were reasonable and possibly part of his economic damage
claims (he also claimed his legal fees were part of his damages).
We must therefore have the right to explore evidence which could reasonably rebut the plaintiffs
credibility vis-a-vis his perception of events as they occurred. Plaintiffs psychological and
psychiatric diagnoses, we argue, may demonstrate the non -reliability of his allegations, and a
particular paranoia which has so far characterized his behavior. This is not a fishing expedition —
the issue is most certainly at play here - especially considering the letters from Dr. Gary Glass,
M.D., which plaintiffs own lawyers filed with the court to explain his inability to attend court in
the municipal case which was the genesis, we argue, for all of this litigation. Mental conditions
which were diagnosed close in time to the date when plaintiff claims Frank and Tony DiLorenzo
tried to run him down with their cars.
According to Dr. Glass, Mr. O'Boyle was then "clearly not mentally or emotionally capable of
representing himself appropriately." Dr. Glass further noted that he had Mr. O'Boyle on "high
doses of medications that impact on the clarity of his thinking and his abilirn to process
infornwtion as he normally does." Those letters are attached for Your Honor's review.
I am unable to appear on Friday as the result of a scheduling conflict on a Camden County matter,
so 1 will respectfully rely on Mr. Merenich's and Mr. Horn's arguments, as well as upon this
submission, all in support of Mr. Merenich's application to obtain plaintiffs mental health records.
These are materials which are both relevant and material to the matters in dispute, and which
certainly bear on the credibility and accuracy of the plaipti s perceptions�t Mite incidents he
alleged against Frank and Tony DiLorenzo. / \

RE, MA.RT114 O'HOYLE
Dear Mt. Barbone;
As you know I have been bzvolved in the ongoing evaluation and
treatment of your client Mr. Martin 0130yle of I.ongport, PTew Jersey. I
have been eceing hl why with the exception of Holiday breaks.
In our most recent meetings Mr. O'Boyle was clearly overwhelmingly
atzxious and stressed. I had hoped that our work together including both
Psychotherapy and medication would resolve his disoomfort but the
ongoing issues that surround his struggles with the Township have had
EL major impact an his emotional state.
I understand that Mr. OBoyIe is scheduled for a court appeasancc on
Monday, July 14, 2008. Although I had hoped otherwise I do not believe
that he is emotionally capable of managing that appearance at this time.
I have therefore recommended to hia3 and by virtue of tizis letter, to you
as well, that I do not believe that he can present himself to the Court on
Monday, July 14, 2008.
I am hopeful that with additional treatment both therapy and medication
adjustments he will be able to resolve some of his issues in the near
future and I will keep you posted regarding our progress.
If you have Ely !further questions feel free to contact me_
