Celebrity Justice
Criminal Probe Into Anna's Prescriptions

TMZ has learned the California Department of Justice (DOJ) is conducting a criminal investigation into several doctors who prescribed various medicines to Anna Nicole Smith.

Sources tell TMZ the DOJ's Bureau of Narcotics Enforcement has contacted Larry Birkhead, Big Mo (Anna's bodyguard) and others. We're told DOJ is particularly interested in two doctors -- Khristine Eroshevich and Sandeep Kapoor. TMZ broke the story that Dr. Kapoor prescribed methadone to Anna under an assumed name when she was eight months pregnant. Dr. Eroshevich ordered a virtual pharmacy of drugs for Anna, five days after her son Daniel died.

Dr. Eroshevich, who was in the Bahamas with Anna, sent the prescription wish list to Dr. Kapoor. Kapoor's attorney, Ellyn Garofalo, told TMZ "Dr. Kapoor declined the request for prescriptions. He would never prescribe that combination of drugs, in such large dosages, to any patient."

The Medical Board of California launched its own investigation of the two doctors earlier this year. That investigation is pending.

By the way, TMZ has learned Dr. Kapoor is in the process of having twins via a surrogate.

20746. Florida
Can you give me a page number on that date ? I must have missed that or misread it.
I was under the impression all the dates were tentative and subject to change.
Dec.29, 08 seems like a lot of time for a discovery phase and decision of jurisdiction.



NOT the sharpest knife in the drawer you see.

------------

Has nothing to do with being 'sharp', it IS confusing and the court order setting these dates and procedures dated Aug. 22nd has to do with the submission of the joint discovery and disclosure plan which had been court ordered back on April 18 and was supposed to have been 35 days following the defendant's first response. It was rescheduled for submission--both parties agreed to cooperate jointly with the court and thus it was submitted on the 22nd and subsequently a court order was drawn up that same date.

The court order outlines various protocols and procedures and discusses a civil trial in US Federal Court under a magistrate who wrote the order. Discovery is one aspect--jurisdiction another, as to US Magistrate jurisdiction and does not relate to the pending ruling on the defendant's motion to dismiss based on state jurisdiction.

Posting pages from a pdf file--hmm.....the order is only six pages long and is on several websites and is entitled:

"Order Setting Trial Date & Discovery Deadlines, Referring Case to Mediation & Referring Discovery Motions to US Magistrate Judge".

Trial date is discussed in the FIRST paragraph on Page 1 under the heading: "Trial Date & Location".

Hope this helps. It's not really all that complicated, actually.

20753. Not doubting the validity of anyone discussing the date for the trials.
However , over a year for these (2) problems to be resolved and a proceeding to start is simply ridiculous

20755. Laughing/RC-I see even after I went to bed you are still here.what did Howard give you Coke or Acid! You were on a trip yesterday for sure! My mother told me once if someone is talking about you then they are leaving someone else alone-nothing you say is believable so keep talking to the dogs and yourself as there is no daughters or husband as once took bag off your head everyone would have to be treated in a trauma center for shock!

20756. WRONG. G. Ben Thompson is unable to own or get a mortgage in the Bahamas due to his 3 year jail sentence for drug trafficking and using the Bahamas shores for his demeanors. This is also, why he and his son-in-law Ford Shelley are afraid to appear in the Bahamas regarding the burglary at Anna's house HORIZONS. There is a warrant out for their arrest.

LIES.............Thompson already owns property in the Bahamas.

Try again with a NEW LIE............

I have never had anything wrong with my leg.........are we making up more LIES now?

Just because you can't read or write coherently, don't LIE about others.

20758. Tony Potts was on Showbiz tonight and he said to Larry why do you have anything to do with Howard.! Even asked him why did you invite him.Same guy that covered Anna's funeral.So it is apparent the media does not understand where Larry is coming from.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The manager and the front desk clerk at the HR said Anna and FIVE other people checked into the suite............We KNOW HK$ & Dr. Death were there, but that leaves THREE others.

Those other THREE have never been identified publicly, but will be VERY SOON now.

20760. Real-It is incredible they come up with the most lame excuses. I have followed this for a long time-I still have recordings of shows.So I without a shadow of a doubt as well as you know when it is the dumb one on-it is Kimmie.She can not spell and her logic is the worst of the bunch.I doubt she knows what month or year it is -certainly not the day. She gets embarrassed as many of us had businesses and are retired so in her feeble mind she actually thinks that Virgie by way of her attorney pays us . I may be blunt to her at times but it dwindles in comparison to the lies and words she uses.I have known for example Suzanne for a very long time never once does she use a bad word but I will only directed against RC.I have no use for a criminal like her and that is only thing she understands.Anything more than a one syllable word you have lost her. You can look at arguments as I did with both of us and many times hard to figure what she wrote such as reaf-let us all reaf this!
