Dr. Carlon Colker has withdrawn his petition against Janel Grant.
Brandon Thurston of POST Wrestling first reported the news on Thursday afternoon.
On July 16th, lawyers for former WWE employee Janel Grant filed a pre-action discovery petition against Dr. Carlon Colker and his clinic, Peak Wellness, Inc. Grant claims that she was sent to the clinic under the direction of Vince McMahon in November 2019 and received treatments that weren't disclosed to her, including pills and I.V. infusions.
Colker denied any improper treatment and citing numerous damages to his name and reputation from the accusations. He filed for discovery against her in August.
Her petition against him remains active.
“Unsurprisingly, Dr. Colker has withdrawn his baseless motion,” Grant’s attorney Ann Callis said in a statement to POST Wrestling. “In the same vein as Mr. McMahon’s recently struck down motion, this was filed simply as yet another frivolous attempt to intimidate Ms. Grant. Ms. Grant remains steadfast in her right to seeking documents and information relating to her own medical records, meta-data, Dr. Colker’s prescribed treatments, and any communications between Dr. Colker and other parties concerning Ms. Grant or Ms. Grant’s medical treatment"
Grant filed a lawsuit against WWE, Vince McMahon, and John Laurinaitis in January alleging sex trafficking and sexual assault.
McMahon filed a motion to enforce the court-ordered stay to prevent Grant from petitioning for records from Peak Wellness. According to McMahon, Grant violated the federal stay order by seeking discovery against Dr. Colker and Peak Wellness. His motion was denied on August 6th.
On May 30, Grant agreed to pause the lawsuit for six months while the federal investigation continued against McMahon.
Fightful will continue to update fans on the lawsuit as more is known.
