Connecticut Appellate Court Dismisses Appeal in Janel Grant Discovery Dispute

The Connecticut Appellate Court has dismissed an appeal filed by Dr. Carlon Colker and Peak Wellness Inc. in their ongoing discovery dispute with HS&S client Janel Grant.

Dr. Colker and his practice challenged a Connecticut Superior Court order requiring them to produce payment records showing who paid for Grant's medical treatment at Peak Wellness. The appellate court dismissed the appeal, citing lack of subject matter jurisdiction and finding that the discovery order was not an appealable final judgment.

The ruling upholds Judge David Bothwell's December 2025 order requiring the defendants to produce "all payment records relating to Ms. Grant's treatment" and provide documentation identifying who made each payment and the method of payment.

Partner David Slossberg, Partner Erica Nolan, and Associate Julie Pinette represent Grant in the Connecticut Superior Court bill of discovery case, which seeks documents that could support potential future claims against Dr. Colker and Peak Wellness.

The bill of discovery case is part of Grant's broader legal efforts following her federal lawsuit against World Wrestling Entertainment and co-founder Vince McMahon alleging sex trafficking, abuse, and civil rights violations. HS&S serves as Connecticut counsel for Grant in the state court proceedings.

The appellate court's dismissal means the discovery order remains in effect and the defendants must comply with Judge Bothwell's directive to produce the requested payment records.
