AGREED and ACCEPTED:
Claudia Gayle, who is a make-believe person, in other words, a ghost introduced by a private attorney Mr. Jonathan Bernstein and Cherilyn Williams prepared affidavits to get the list of other nurses by misinterpreting the law and the court. Later, Bernstein in collaboration with the judge Sifton invited other good nurses to join them in order to materialize the scheme which is a violation of the 6 and 14 amendments of Mr. Harry Dorvilier and his corporation Harry’s Nurses Registry.
