Florida Attorney General Contacting Signature Pharmacy Customers

October 1, 2008 by Millard Baker

Comments

The Florida Attorney General’s Office is waiting 30 days before reviewing the private prescription records of thousands of clients who used the services of Signature Pharmacy. Clients of Signature Pharmacy have 30 days to file a written objection to prevent an invasion of their prescription records by the Attorney General’s Office of Statewide Prosecution. If the State of Florida does not receive a written objection, they may use and submit your prescription records in a state case against Signature Pharmacy.

The Albany County District Attorney’s steroid distribution case against Signature Pharmacy (Operation Which Doctor) was recently dismissed due to the incompetence of prosecutor David Soares. As a result, David Soares is not permitted to seek charges against Signature Pharmacy effectively wasting millions of dollars from the coffers of Albany County.

The Florida Attorney General’s is hoping that David Soares has not irreparably damaged a criminal case against against Stan and Naomi Loomis, the Signature Pharmacy owners, pharmacist Michael Loomis or Signature Pharmacy employees Kirk Calvert and Anthony Palladino. Apparently, prosecutors in Florida feel they can obtain a new set of evidence through a review of prescription records. The new evidence could potentially be used against Signature Pharmacy in a steroid and growth hormone distribution case thereby avoiding double jeopardy.

Clients of Signature Pharmacy recently received a letter from the desk of William N. Shepherd, the Statewide Prosecutor for the Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum. The text of the undated letter reads as follows:

Re: The Matter of Search Warrant For Premises Known As 1200 Kuhl Avenue, Orlando, Florida, And The Premises Known as 2304 Aloma Avenue, Winter Park, Florida, Case no.: CI07-OC-1237
OSWP# 2004-0456-ORL

To Whom It May Concern:

The purpose of this correspondence is to put you on notice that your prescription records were seized pursuant to a search warrant executed at Signature Pharmacy, located at 1200 Kuhl Avenue, Orlando, Florida and 2304 Aloma Avenue, Winter Park, Florida, on February 27, 2007. If you object to a review of your prescription records by the undersigned Assistant Statewide Prosecutor and her law enforcement agents, you must file a written objection within thirty (30) days from the date of issuance of this correspondence with the Clerk of Circuit Court for Osceola County, located at Two Courthouse Square, Ste. 2000, Kissimmee, Florida 34741. Thank you for your time and cooperation.

Sincerely,

Anne Wedge-McMillen

The Attorney General’s Office could potentially use prescription records as evidence in a future criminal prosecution by Florida against Signature Pharmacy.

    I got a letter also. I wonder if in law school they teach these guys that if they are going to make a "30-Day response" demand, that they are required to put a freakin DATE on the letter!!!

    Looks like their office is incompetent as well, however I will be writing my letter of denial.

    I just spoke with my attorney and they can get the records eventually anyway. They can subpoena the records after the 30-day waiting period. If they already have your address and everything else -- the Pharmacy has turned something over to them. I was advised not to respond to the letter and deny ever getting the letter. It was not sent by certified mail.

    I sent it back objecting to their review of my prescription records. I think my medical conditions and the prescriptions I was given for them are private and confidential.

    Could they use your records to press charges against you ,if you used a wellness center?
  • david
    if you hear they can please let me know. i did it for health reasons not superman strength. i agree that it is a terrible waste of money and the ruination of reputation and for what?
  • g.
    I noticed they did not date the letter also. My biggest concern is that when the dust clears, are they going to try & invent charges against clients? Many persons on the list simply had their legitimate prescriptions sent to signature. This is a travesty much like the milions of dollars spent by congress investigating baseball. Geeshh.
  • david
    im 52 and the first thing i asked was it legal and response was yes. now will my name be splashed as a criminal? its good for high blood pressure and train of thought, sounds like the florida legal system needs a dose.
  • GC
    I also received this letter, but do not live in Florida, nor have i ever had a perscription filled in the state of florida! How can that be?

    I did the internet search because it looks like a scam letter - no date, titled to "To Whom it may concern", cheap postage, etc.
