I am a retired chiropractor. Three years ago I had a patient file a complaint of sexual assault. The licensing board held a discovery hearing that was attended by myself and the patient's attorney. The licensing board determined that my procedures were appropriate and there was no basis to proceed further. Yesterday (2 yrs + 10 months after the hearing), I received a civil summons and complaint related to the same incident but with a different surname for the plaintiff. This name change or the reason behind it has not been addressed in the documentation. Is this a potential technicality that could affect the lawsuit?
