Dear Clerk of Court, 14th Court of Appeals, RE: ERIC NDUBUEZE UFOM v. WEST WYNDE HEALTH SERVICES CASE # 14-14-00438-cv
JUSTICE DELAYED IS CONSTITUTIONALLY JUSTICE DENIED
This letter is to officially notify this honorable court of appeals that, On
Friday, May 1, 2015, at 6:03:43pm O'clock, I timely mailed my postpaid,
properly addressed, Emergency Motion to this honorable Court through the
United States Postal Service Certify Mail # 70130600000009190471,
automated 24 hours, after Hours, posting machine services before 12:00
midnight of that last day of filling of filling Motion for En Banc Rehearing
Please see the annexed Exhibit 1, copy of the USPS postage transaction #
106, receipt #480378-9550 and Certify mail# 70130600000009190471,
which are proves beyond reasonable doubt that the Appellant's motion was
timely filed on a weekend of Friday, May 1, 2015.
It is sad and unconstitutional that this honorable Appellate Court, whose
duty is to be a gatekeeper, has failed to correctly file my timely motion, as « P.O. BOX 710455 HOUSTON, TEXAS 77271 PH: (832) 758-0612 E-Mail: erpdi@yahoo.com / EQUAL RIGHTS FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES INTERNATIONAL
having been filed on the date of May 1, 2015, which it was timely mailed,
but incorrectly or wrongfully filed my timely motion as having been mailed
on the date of May 5, 2015, which was the date this Court actually received
my mailed timely motion and not the date it was mailed. It is discrimination,
disparate treatment, denial of meaningful access to court of Appeals,
selective enforcement of Appellate Court's rules and regulations, denial of
activities, programs and services, in violations of Title II of the Americans
with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), which provides: "[N]o qualified
individual with a disability shall, by reason of such disability, be excluded
from participation or denied the benefits of the services, programs or
activities of a public entity," 42 U. S. C. §12132 and ADA 12203 that
Prohibits Against Retaliation or Coercion (Section 503), Title V, [No
person shall discriminate against any individual because such individual has
opposed any act or practice made unlawful by this chapter or because such
individual made a charge, testified, assisted, or participated in any manner in
a investigation, proceeding, or hearing under this chapter] and [It shall be
unlawful to coerce, intimidate, threaten, or interfere with any individual in CD

This patient is a 54-year-old Nigerian male with a past medical history of motor vehicle accident in 1986 and 1989 who had subsequent loss of vision in the left eye since that motor vehicle accident in 1989. He has been followed by Dr. Hydefor the past six years. He developed hypotony in the right eye with intraocular pressures between 7 to 8 for the past three years. He also states that he had a-foreign body in the right eye as well as the left eye since the motor vehicle accident. He had an MR! per the patient at Methodist but is unsure why he had the MRI. He states that at that time, he had difficulty breathing. He denies any giant cell arteritis symptoms such as headaches, jaw claudication, fever, scalp tenderness, anorexia, or malaise. He does state that occasionally he has blurred vision inthe right eye but is not having it at this time. On review of systems, he denies any constitutional, neurologic, ears, nose, and throat, cardiovascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, musculoskeletal, skin, psychiatric, or infectious disease symptoms at this time. The chief reason he is here is he wants to see if there could be any improvement of vision in his left eye. His past medical history is significant for a motor vehicle accident, ruptured globe, and polio. His past surgical history consists of multiplefacial/maxillary reconstructive surgeries, cataract extraction in the left eye, and right hip surgery for a congenital deformity. He is not currently taking any medications. He has no known drug allergies. His family history is significant for livercirrhosis in his father and diabetes mellitus. ERIC UFOM PACE 2 03/21/13 He is a non-profit organizer manager, married, and has one child. He denies any history ofsmoking, alcohol, or illicit drug use. On exam today, his visual acuity bestcorrected is 20/20 in the right eyeand count fingers in the left eye. Color plates are 14 out of 14 inthe righteye and zero out of 14 inthe left eye. Pupils are 4 mm in the dark and 2mm in the light in the lefteye. He has an irregular pupil in the right eye and irregular pupil inthe lefteye. His ocular motility shows a left45-diopter prism of exotropia in the lefteye. On slit-lamp exam, his lids, lashes,and adnexae are within normal limits. Theconjunctiva shows no injection. The cornea shows a corneal/scleral laceration andpterygium in the right eye andcorneal sclera! laceration in the left eye. He hasan inferior temporal scar in the righteyeandat 5 o'clock in the left eye an inferior oldscaranda superior limbal scar. The anterior chamber at this time is deep and quiet. The iris isround and intactin the right eyeandshows an irregular posttraumatic deformity in the lefteye. The lens isclearin the right eyeand aphakic in the lefteye. The anterior vitreous is within normal limits. On dilated funduscopic exam, his cup-to-disc ratio is 0.10 in the righteye and 0.15 in the lefteye. There is no evidence of disc edema or pallor. The macula shows normal reflexes. The vessels show a norma! 2:3 arteriole-to-venule ratio inthe right eye and the left eye shows attenuation. The periphery isnormal, fiat, no holes or tears were detected in the right eye, andthe lefteyeshows an inferior hyperpigmented scar. AHumphrey 24-2 visual field shows an enlarged blind spot in the righteye with nonspecific defects with a mean deviation of -4.49 and in the lefteyewith a stimulus five shows enlarged blind spotwith 11 out of 13fixation loses. Insummary, this patient is a 54-year-old Nigerian male with a past medical history of motor vehicle accident in 1986 and 1989 with multiple reconstructive surgeries who presents with loss of vision in the left eye, right eye hypotonia, and a history of ruptured globe repair. His left eye most likely had a presumed traumatic optic neuropathy. However, there is no edema or pallor at thistime. Healso has an inferiorchorioretinal scar and color dyschromatopsia. Ihave explainedto the patient that most likely he will not recover vision in the left eye. He hasright hypotony and will be followed byhis primary ophthalmologist. His visual acuity in the right eyeis 20/20. There is no color dyschromatopsia, disc edema, or pallor in the right eye. Ihave recommended the patient wear polycarbonate lenses secondary to being a monocular patient. He has multiple ocular deformities secondary to trauma and will continue to follow up with Dr. Hyde Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to participate in Mr. Ufom's care. Should you have any questions orconcerns regarding my recommendations, orhave any other patients needing neuro-ophthalmology evaluation, please do not hesitate to contact me.

One of the most frustrating late effects of pblio for mewas the awareness that I could hot , '•"' • concentrate and a feeling that I wasn't thinking clearly any more. For many of us who have.; s .• •• compensated for our physical limitations through intellectual pursuits this is aterrifying feeling. Is it not bad enough thatourbodies are giving out? Mustwe undergo the indignity of losing our minds as well? Studies showthat in spite ofmarked impairments ofattention,* polio survivors are within thehigh normal or superior range on measures ofhigher-level cognitive processes and. IQ. [1] They also show that if we allow ourselves to become fatigued we'do lose our ability to focus < ourattention and to rapidly process complex information (requiring 23 to 67 percent more time to complete tasks requiring sustained attention and vigilance than did polio survivors withno. fatigue or mild fatigue). [2] *""_-"' • ? .,' Polio survivors experience two kinds of fatigue. One is physical tiredness and decreased endurance. Theother and often moredistressing kind is "brain fatigue". Brain fatigue describes ". problems with attention, alertness and thinking. Between 70% and96% of polio survivors . /; '. , reporting fatigue complained of problems withconcentration (96%), memory (85%), attention (82%), word finding (80%), staying awake, and thinking clearly (70%). [3] Tests indicate that an impairment of selective attention (related to damage as a result ofpolio) results in feelings of. fatigue and cognitive problems. [2] ... -•• ' The poliovirus damages the anterior horn cells ofthe spinal cord butthat is not all it damages. It also damages partsof the brain stem. Findings indicate that poliovirus consistently and often severely damaged the brain areas known as the ReticularActivating System." [4],[5] These areas are responsible for activating the part ofthe brain involved in maintaining voluntary attention, memory, spontaneous interest, initiative and the capacityfor effort and work, and for preventing feelings of fatigue. This is the area thatkeeps us awake and allows us to focus ourattention. [5] Polio survivors report that they are most disabled by the visceral symptoms of fatigue. These are feelings ofexhaustion, passivity and an aversion to continued effort that generate an avoidance of both mental and physical activity. [5] Dr RL Bruno suggests the existence of a Fatigue " Generator inthe brain. [5] His findings suggest that there isa close relationship between impaired attention and fatigue. There would be survival value in abrain mechanism that promotes rest when attention and information processing ability are impaired. An area of the brain (the BasafGanglia) may generate mental and physical fatigue. When the Reticular t'; .. Activating System is damaged, the Fatigue Generator takes over and produces p^roblems wdtri - - focusing attention and with physically moving without significant conscious effort, Damage. ^ . caused by the poliovirus chronically reduces the firing ofthe nerve cells in the Reticular .' ; - Activating System. Rest orsleep would increase the firing ofthe brain activatmgsy'stem nerves;; restore activation and once again allow motor behavior. [5] [Ed: An article by Dr Bruno detailing his work in this area was obtained from theInternet and reprinted inPPN Newsletter Issue 24, June 1995.] .... * . •' .,,« .- The damage would explain why polio survivors have ho difficulty cpricentrating after the:: _•; •*?;£ original infection but why are we developing problems thirty or forty years later. One theory isV that the age-related loss ofnerve cells combined with ah already abnormally small number of !J :nerve cells as aresult ofthe original poliovirus infection may impair the brain's activating system -enough to produce impaired attention and fatigue as polio survivors reach mid-life.[4]^ :\%£f> The first step in treating the disorders ofconcentration, memory, attention, word finding; staying '- awakeV and thinking clearly istodeal with the fatigue. Energy conservation, work simplification and the proper provision ofrest periods throughout the day are the treatments ofchoice in ^ dealing with post-polio fatigue. [6] Stress management is also critical in the: treatment^ofposty.-*. polio fatigue. [7] Dr Bruno et al are currently studying the use ofamedication (a post-synaptic dopamine receptor agonist currently used in the treatment ofParkinson's Disease) in the ;. -^.. treatment ofpost-polio patients who do hot respond to conservative treatments. [1] Theyxaution that there is a real danger that treatment with medications will allow Polio survivors toresume - their hyperactive Type Alifestyles and further stress poliovirus-damaged, "metabolically • vulnerable" neurons in the brain stem and anterior horn. [7] As with any treatment strategy we must try to find the most effective treatment that will do the least long term damage while helping us to deal with our current problems. Certainly reducing physical and emotional stresses in our lives and getting adequate rest make sense for everyone, ^ even polio survivors. The good news is ifyou can get rested, you will find your ability to'-" '/f • concentrate, pay attention, remember words and stay awake will improve. You may even find .' that you can enjoy reading and thinking again! ";*'*. • ' -\ References .,Y ... V .1. 'Bruno RL, Sapolsky R, Zimmerman JR, and Frick, NM.

No prior exams currently available. Findings: Patient is status post feirly well healed fracture ofthe left zygomatic arch with associated hyperostosis and exuberant callus formation. There is a fracture seen involving the left orbital floor with distraction seen ofapproximately 8 to9 mm and inferior displacement ofthe more medial aspect ofthe left orbital floor into the maxillary sinus. Inferior herniation oforbital fet through the defect is seen with the left inferior rectus muscle abutting through the defect but without findings suggestive of entrapment ofthe extraocular muscles. Deformity ofthe left maxillary sinus is seen with multiple fractures appearing old involving boththe anteriorand lateral walls. The left frontal sinus is hypoplastic. Fracture is also seen involving the lateral wall ofthe right maxillary sinus with mild buckling. Soft tissue density propagating into the left maxillary sinus felt to be on the basis oforbital floor fracture on the left noted. Do not see an air-fluid level. Both lamina papyracea are intact. Fractures appearing minimally displaced but appearing old involving the lateral wail ofthe left bony orbit is seen. Fractures arealso seen through theanterior table of both frontal sinuses sparing the posterior table and noted inferiorly without associated frontal sinusitis.

Medications: '0' or 'none' TECHNICAL SUMMARY: Obstructive events along with arousals and mild to moderate snoring were noted by the night technician. Patient indicated he has difficulty falling asleep. His sleep is restless or disturbed and he experiences frequent or prolonged awakenings. He has nasal obstruction or sinus problems. His weight has increased over the past year He has awakened feeling as if he is choking or gasping for breath. Others have witnessed him stop breathing while asleep. He experiences repetitive leg or arm movements while asleep. He has leg or arm discomfort which goes away with movement. He experiences sudden jerky body movements at sleep onset. His sleepiness affects his performance at work. He gets approximately 4 to 6 hours of sleep each night and takes 7,120 to 180 minute naps per week. Patient information was obtained from a sleep history questionnaire. ECG: NSR. 1) Mild Obstructive Sleep Apnea syndrome. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1) Return to the sleep laboratory for CPAP titration. 2) Caution with CNS depressants that can exacerbate obstructive events. 3) Caution with driving and operating potentially dangerous machinery until the condition is adequately treated. Weight loss to the ideal range.

DCHidw "U.v 'ORIDA HOSPITAL, MEDICAL CENTER MI97670H 1XXRXDA HOSPITAL - ORLANDO ) iTE OF BIRTH: January 22, 1958 \rE: 38 years 3 STORY: Mr. Eric ufom is seen in the clinical sleep study center at Florida a «pital/Orlando through the courtesy of Dr. Dale C. Harrington. The pitlent's primary physician is Dr. George A. Pyxe. There is a question of u>per airway obstructed breathing syndrome with multiple awakening occurring slddenly with the patient rinding himself unable to breathe. This evidently h is occurred five times per week over the past month. The patient relates t iat he ierks awake with a sensation that he is unable to breathe through his t iroat. He describes tremulousness and the episode is somewhat frightening t> him. The patient characteristically leaps up out of bed, runs to the bithroom, and pours water over his face and/or head. He is uncertain as to u lether this has any beneficial effect, but his throat obstruction seems to c Lear. The patient has felt somewhat sleepy within the recent past as well afid feels he is not sleeping as well. He reports, that he is afraid to go to sleep. Mr. Ufom experienced a major automobile accident in 1986. I do not nrve details but evidently multiple fractures in terms of face, forehead, crbit. sinuses, and nose were experienced, and the patient underwent xaconstructive surgery. He reports that he did not experience any significant brain injury. Subsequently, it is my impression the patient has experienced difficulty breathing through his nose. The patient further zeports that subsequent to his accident he experienced several episodes of *hat, in essence, is sleep paralysis, during which time he awakens and feels that he is unable to move for 3 to 5 minutes. This sensation seemed to jesolva but has again recurred over the past month or so. The patient does rot describe debilitating daytime sleepiness. He reports a history of loliomyelitis at age 5 years. Evidently, right lower extremity motoric junction was impaired. The patient underwent some form of surgery at a later date and feels that his legs function normally at the present time. HYSICAL EXAMINATION: Blood pressure,--rigEi'arm, sitting is 92/60. The atlent is a pleasant 38-year-old" gentleman who exhibits"reconstructive acial features and left exotropia and a postoperative left pupil. The atient is somewhat difficult to clearly obtain a history from with tangential responses. The right optic nerve head appears flat. Neck iability is fairly well-maintained.

It is of Jnterest that the patient has found that vigorous physical exercise during t le daytime has correlated with a diminished number of frightening nocturnal «rousals. The patient is apparently pursuing physical exercise due to what £• terms a low sperm count. He is taxing testosterone in thae regard. .. SICAL EXAMINATIONi Please see previous. iBCHNIGAL SUMMARY: Total recording time is 420 minutes. The tracing is initiated at 2225 hours and ended at 0525 hours. No technical difficulty is «ftcountered. Monitoring is as per standard protocol. IESCRIPTTON: The patient is studied 86% back positional and 14* right-side iositioned. Head of bed is flat with 2 pillows utilized. Initial waking Itate oxyhemoglobin saturation is 98*. Latency to stage I sleep is prolonged st 87 minutes. Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep latency is 68 minutes. A 1otal of 3 REM periods are evident. Once sleep is entered, occasional cantral and/or transitional apneic events are noted, especially early in the recording associated with intermittent arousals. Occasional airflow fluctuation and/or hypopneic events are further observed. REM sleep is i ssociated with partial eye-open position and side-to-side head movement. No t ignifleant or sustained upper airway obstruction is identified. Snoring is iery light. Periodic limb movements of sleep are absent. Electrocardiogram iEKG) remains stable throughout.

AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT IN 1986 WITH MULTIPLE FACIAL FRACTURES AND FACIAL RECONSTRUCTION. 3|. CHROMIC NASAL CONGESTION. 4. RECURRENT SLEEP PARALYSIS OF UNCERTAIN SIGNIFICANCE. DISCUSSION. Mr. Ufom is experiencing a series of recurrent, frightening nocturnal spneic arousals. He experienced a major facial and head injury, evidently th multiple fractures requiring reconstruction with chronic nasal ngestion, limited mouth opening, and now recurrent arousals as above, per airway obstruction is suspect. Will plan nocturnal polysomnography in this regard- Of further interest is a history of intermittent sleep paralysis which is of uncertain significance and may not need further investigation, other than reassurance. inanX you for allowing us to share in Mr. Ufom's continuing care.
