THUY SUNOSKY APPELLANT

OCT 2 6 2015 V.

SECa«||f DEBRASPISAK, CLERK LAW FIRM APPELLEE

FROM COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 3 OF TARRANT COUNTY

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant Thuy Sunosky, pro se, appeals from the trial court's order

dismissing her claims against Appellee Allen A. Rad Law Firm (Rad) for lack of

jurisdiction. Because Sunosky does not challenge the only basis for the trial

court's order, we affirm.

1SeeTex. R. App. P. 47.4,

Sunosky, acting pro se, sued Rad in statutory county court based on Allen Rad's representation of her in a previous matter relating to a car accident. She asserted that Rad agreed to represent her in the matter but then failed to communicate with her about the status of her case and failed to file suit until after the limitation period had passed. She sought damages "aggregating $50,000 or less" excluding costs and attorney's fees. Rad filed a general denial and asserted the affirmative defense of limitation and that Rad was not an appropriate party to the lawsuit.

The case was called for trial on January 10, 2013. Sunosky appeared pro se. Rad did not appear. Sunosky testified along with two other witnesses. Sunosky testified that before the car accident giving rise to the claim for which Rad was to represent her, she had earned $2,000 a month, and in the eleven years after the accident, she could not work. At the conclusion of evidence, Sunosky asked the court to award her $314,000 in damages—her lost wages for eleven years plus interest.

The trial court informed Sunosky that it was a court of limited jurisdiction, that it could not award her more than $200,000, and that she needed to file her claim in a district court.2 He then stated that it would "have to dismiss [her] case

2See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 25.0003 (West Supp. 2013) (providing that a statutory county court has jurisdiction in civil cases in which the matter in controversy exceeds $500 but does not exceed $200,000); § 25.2221(a) (West 2004) (stating that County Court at Law No. 3 of Tarrant County is a county court at law).

for want of jurisdiction, because [she] ha[s] pled for an amount that is outside the amount in controversy [for] which this court is allowed to award." After the conclusion of the trial, the trial court signed an order of dismissal, stating that "[a]fter considering the matter, the Court finds that this matter should be dismissed for want of jurisdiction" and ordering that the case be dismissed without prejudice. Sunosky now appeals.

In the "Issues Presented" section of her brief, Sunosky sets out fourteen numbered paragraphs that contain assertions of fact rather than legal issues. But in her summary of her argument, she makes the following statement, which we construe as her issue on appeal: "The Rad Law Firm put their desires ahead of their client, by failing to represent her in a timely manner, and by allowing the testimony of a doctor who never met nor examined her."

In order for a trial court to decide a case, it must have the power to do so;

in other words, it must have jurisdiction over the case.3 Not every court in Texas is authorized to try every claim. Under Texas law, statutory county courts (also

referred to as "county courts at law"), like the trial court in this case, may only hear cases in which the amount in controversy is within a specified range.4

3Black's Law Dictionary 927 (9th ed. 2009) (defining "jurisdiction" as "[a] court's power to decide a case or issue a decree").

4Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 25.0003; see also Tejas Toyota, Inc. v. Griffin, 587 S.W.2d 775, 776 (Tex. Civ. App.—Waco 1979, writ refd n.r.e.) (stating that "the amount in controversy is the amount of damages claimed in the pleading").

Currently, that range is between $500 and $200,000.5 That is, the trial court in this case did not have the power to hear the case if the amount of damages claimed was less than $500 or if the amount of damages claimed was more than $200,000.6

In her petition, Sunosky stated that she'was seeking to recover not more than $50,000. The trial court had the power to hear a case involving that amount in damages.7 But at trial, Sunosky introduced evidence that her damages were over $200,000, and she asked the trial court to award her more than $200,000. The trial court concluded that because Sunosky sought to recover more than $200,000, it did not have jurisdiction over her claim.

Sunosky's brief alleges that Rad failed to keep her updated on her case, failed to file her case before the limitation period had passed, and kept money that the insurance company had paid out on her claim. Nothing in her brief, however, addresses whether the trial court had jurisdiction over her claims, which

was the sole ground on which the trial courtordered the dismissal of her claims.8 Although we are mindful of the difficulty that pro se litigants face, we may not

(affirming the trial court's grant of a plea to the jurisdiction because the appellant failed to challenge on appeal all of the grounds that were included in the plea).

make Sunosky's arguments for her.9 Accordingly, we overrule Sunosky's sole issue on appeal.

Having overruled Sunosky's sole issue on appeal, we affirm the trial court's order of dismissal.

Medial Branch Block

You have been scheduled for this procedure as your next diagnostic nerve

block. The nerves (medial branch of the dorsal ramus) which come from the primary nerve root at any given spinal level, supply the joint atthat level as well as a portion of the muscle on either side of your neck, mid back or low back. This nerve block is intended to determine whether you have pain

associated with the facet joints, the disks which are in between each of the spinal vertebrae, or a combination of both of these areas. This nerve block is purely diagnostic although some patients receive more than a few hours, and sometimes a few days relief, depending on several factors. This nerve block is not intended to cure your pain, rather it is only to determine

where the pain is coming from.

She contacted the defendant through an advertisement featuring Mr. Vang Nguyen, a representative of the Rad Law Firm, in a Vietnamese newspaper. After a contract between the plaintiff and the defendant was signed, the plaintiff was sent to a chiropractor representing the Rad Law Firm. The chiropractor worked on the plaintiff but this resulted in the plaintiff complaining of more pain accompanied by a swollen knee, and as a result, the plaintiff ceased treatment. The plaintiff called the Rad Law Firm and requested to see a medical doctor, but the request was refused. f2) The plaintiff sought out another attorney to take her case, but was told that the Rad Law Firm was the primary representative, and the plaintiff could not be represented by another attorney until the Rad Law Firm completed the case. The plaintiff made another request to the Rad Law Firm to see a medical doctor for her increasing physical pain. Again, the request was refused. ^3) The plaintiff eventually sought treatment through her personal physician, Dr. Lum, who sent her to an orthopedic surgeon, Dr.

SUNOSKY, THUY ALLERGIES: NONE

May 20 2008 Ms. Sunosky is stating the pain medicines with the anti-inflammatories are not helping her fery much at this time and she would like to have an injection into her right knee. Ithink that is reasonable. We have reexamined the knee and she has alittle more effusion today and some tenderness on both the medial and lateral joint spaces. I think it is reasonable to inject her; 4cc hdocaine and 2cc triamcinolone were given and she tolerated this well. The next step would be total knee arthroplasty. She understands this and has seen the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons video on knee arthroplasty and will let us know when she would like to proceed Jeffrey L. McGowen, M.D. JLM/am

July 25, 2008 Ms. Sunosky is following up after injection into her right knee on 05/20/2008. She had some relief for up to about six weeks or so and would like to discuss more permanent options at this time. We have gone through total knee arthroplasty again, and she saw the American Academy ot Orthopedic Surgeons video on total knee replacements at her last visit. We have reviewed that again with her. Itried calling her son Alan while she was here and just left him amessage outlining the procedure. He certainly can explain it further to her as I believe there is still some language barrier problems. Ihave also given her written literature and Ihave offered to see her again witrTa family member if possible. I am happy to schedule her for atotal knee arthroplasty in the near future. We have asked her to get medical clearance in the meantime from her family physician and Alan, her son has been given our number to call for further details. Jeffrey L. McGowen. M.D. JLM/am

January 28, 2011 Ms. Sunosky is here today to discuss her right knee once again. 1also discussed this with her son Allen over the phone to help with any language barrier that might be aproblem. She is having pain in the medial joint line and pain when she ambulates and has not been successful with conservative measures. We tried an injection previously and this did not relieve her pain for any significant time, nor did ibuprofen. EXAMINATION: Her physical examination reveals pain in the medial joint line, varus alignment, mild effusion, and crepitus with motion. RADIOGRAPHS: Radiographs confirm bone-on-bone arthritic disease in the medial compartment on the four views obtained in the office today.

Dear Sir or Madam:

This letter follows our earlier communication in which we advised you of the applicability of the Medicare Secondary Payer Program. Medicare has paid S3,1.71.73 to date. This amount represents the total medical payments made to date; however, this amount will change if additional claims are paid after the date of this letter or if we become aware of related claims paid by another Medicare contractor.

Please be advised, this is not the final interest amount. DX^Q^SEND-A CHEGK-A3^THIS4TME.,

Upon settlement, please send a copy of the signed settlement/release agreementalong with an itemizationof attorney's fees and costs. Clearly state how much of settlement is Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and how much is Medical Payments (Med-Pay). Reduction on settlement DOES NOT APPLY to PIP or MED-PAY. Medicare's reimbursement will be deducted from these recoveries first. Medicare will then calculate the final interest amount after any reduction for procurement costs in accordance with 42 CFR 411.37 and 411.51.

If you have anyquestions regarding the current list, or if you become aware of future payments, please send your inquiry in writing to the address listed above, or you may call our office at 903-463-0641.

We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to hearing from you. Sincerelv.

Dear Sir/Madam:

We are writing to you because we recently learned that you made aliability claim relating to an illness, injury or incident occurring on or about 02/09/2001 and obtained a recovery We have determined that you are required to repay the Medicare program $2,893.85 for the cost of medical care it paid relating to your liability recovery. (The term "recovery includes a settlement, judgment, award or any other type of recovery.) We hope that you will find answers to some of the questions you may have about this letter below Parts I and II of this letter explain the federal law that requires you to pay Medicare back and the way we determined the amount you are required to repay. We have provided instructions for repaying Medicare in Part 111 of this letter. You have the right to appeal our determination if you disagree with it, and you also have the right to request that the Medicare program waive recovery of the amount you owe in full or in part. Instructions for requesting waiver of recovery and appeal are provided in Part IV of this letter. Finally, Part Vof this letter exolains the interest charges that apply if you do not repay Medicare withm sixty (60 days from the date of this letter and tells you about certain actions Medicare may decide to take it you fail to repay the amount you owe. I. Why am I required to repay Medicare? You are required to repay Medicare because Medicare paid for medical care you received related to your liability recovery. The Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP) law allows Medicare to pay for medical care received by aMedicare beneficiary who has or may have aLability dam. However the law also requires Medicare to recover those payments if payment of a liability settlement, judgment, recovery, or award has been or could be made. Congress passed the

There is moderate posterior spondylosis and old in disk with mild effacement of anterior thecal sac.

At the L2-3 level degenerative disk desiccation is present with mild loss of height of the intervertebral disk space. Signal changes adjacent to the endplates are compatible with degenerative disk disease. Posterolateral spondylosis is present with associated disk protrusion.

In her petition, Sunosky stated that she was seeking to recover not more than $50,000. The trial court had the power to hear a case involving that amount in damages.7 But at trial, Sunosky introduced evidence that her damages were over $200,000, and she asked the trial court to award her more than $200,000. The trial court concluded that because Sunosky sought to recover more than $200,000, it did not have jurisdiction over her claim.

Sunosky's brief alleges that Rad failed to keep her updated on her case, failed to file her case before the limitation period had passed, and kept money that the insurance company had paid out on her claim. Nothing in her brief, however, addresses whether the trial court had jurisdiction over her claims, which was the sole ground on which the trial court ordered the dismissal of her claims.8 Although we are mindful of the difficulty that pro se litigants face, we may not 5Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 25.0003. 6ld.

(affirming the trial court's grant of a plea to the jurisdiction because the appellant failed to challenge on appeaf all of the grounds that were included in the plea).

/ '3

Sunosky, acting pro se, sued Rad in statutory county court based on Allen Rad's representation of her in a previous matter relating to a car accident. She r

asserted that Rad agreed to represent her in the matter but then failed to communicate with her about the status of her case and failed to file suit until after

the limitation period had passed. She sought damages "aggregating $50,000 or less" excluding costs and attorney's fees. Rad filed a general denial and asserted the affirmative defense of limitation and that Rad was not an appropriate party to the lawsuit.

The case was called for trial on January 10, 2013. Sunosky appeared pro se. Rad did not appear. Sunosky testified along with two other witnesses. Sunosky testified that before the car accident giving rise to the claim for which Rad was to represent her, she had earned $2,000 a month, and in the eleven years after the accident, she could not work. At the conclusion of evidence, Sunosky asked the court to award her $314,000 in damages—her lost wages for eleven years plus interest.

The trial court informed Sunosky that it was a court of limited jurisdiction, that it could not award her more than $200,000, and that she needed to file her

claim in a district court.2 He then stated that it would "have to dismiss [her] case

2, See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 25.0003 (West Supp. 2013) (providing that a statutory county court has jurisdiction in civil cases in which the matter in controversy exceeds $500 but does not exceed $200,000); § 25.2221(a) (West 2004) (stating that County Court at Law No. 3 of Tarrant County is a county court at law).

Medial Branch Block

You have been scheduled for this procedure as your next diagnostic nerve

block. The nerves (medial branch of the dorsal ramus) which come from the

primary nerve root at any given spinal level, supply the joint at that level as well

as a portion of the muscle on either side of your neck, mid back or low back.

This nerve block is intended to determine whether you have pain

associated with the facet joints, the disks which are in between each of the spinal

vertebrae, or a combination of both of these areas.

This nerve block is purely diagnostic although some patients receive more

than a few hours, and sometimes a few days relief, depending on several factors.

This nerve block is not intended to cure your pain, rather it is only to determine

where the pain is coming from.
