“Plaintiffs certify a good-faith belief that grounds exist for an action against the defendant Carl Citron, M.D., based on RES IPSA loquitur doctrine, and pre-suit investigation by plaintiffs. . . . . Cause of action is medical malpractice brought on by negligence, fraud of defendant Carl Citron acts [sic] as described in the amended complaint.”

1 later decision quote this exact passage“in such a way that failure to comply with them may not result in a final dismissal of the action unless it is clear that the claimant could not possibly cure the defect and still maintain the action in compliance with the statutes.”
