The petitioners seek relief from the trial court’s orders of January 20, 2021, and January 25, 2021.
On March 16, 2021, the Supreme Court issued a rule to show cause, directing Respondents to answer why (1) the term “theft,” as that term is used in section 18-4-405, C.R.S. (2020), encompasses the theft of medical records or medical information under section 18-4-412(1), C.R.S. (2020), such that Respondents have standing to pursue their civil theft counterclaim in this case; and (2) Respondents’ civil theft counterclaim is not barred by section 18-4-412(5). Respondents are directed to file their written answer on or before April 13, 2021. Petitioners have 21 days from receipt of the answer within which to reply.
