Petitioner,

Respondent.
TO THE FAMILY COURT:
The undersigned Petitioner respectfully states that:

I, Tamara.I Shashiashvili reside at
1
200 Carman Avenue, Apt. Fl 5, East Meadow, NY 11554.
The Respondent, Ahdy L Attallah resides at 184 Garden Street, Roslyn Heights, NY 11577.
The Respondent and I are related in the following way: I have an intimate relationship
(former dating) with the Respondent.
The Respondent committed the following family offenses against me and/or my children
which constitute harassment in the first or second degree, disorderly conduct, reckless endangerment,
and stalking.
The most recent incident was on August 12, 2010 at 06:00P.M. at over the phone: the
Respondent kept calling my mother's home asking her several times where I was and telling her that
she was hiding me from him. On August 11, 2010, the Respondent and I broke up, he continued to
ask me where I was to pick me up that night. I suspect the Respondent was poisoning me in August
2009, June 2010 and July 2010. I had headaches, numbness and weakness in the left side of my
body, it coincided with the times that the Respondent was angry. In June 2010, the Respondent and
I went to the doctor to try to find out what was wrong. I suggested it may be a stroke or
neurotoxicity, the Respondent said to me "you're trying to frame me." On or about May 2010, the
Respondent told me if my board score doesn't come back positive "It's not going to be good." he
also told me to name him as next of kin incase I was in ICU, instead of naming my parents. A
couple of times he said that I caused it myself, he called me names, blamed me, put me down, would
not allow me to go shopping, he took the car insurance off my car, he controlled the money, he was
excessively jealous. I was isolated from my parents and I was afraid that he would leave. I cancelled
a life insurance policy that I had and the Respondent said "Oh, you're trying to screw me, you
screwed me over" and he threatened to break up with me. In 2009 a tracking device was found on
my car.

FAMILY OFFENSE
PETITION
I, Tamara I Shashiashvili reside at
1
200 Carman Avenue, Apt. J3, East Meadow, NY 11554.
The Respondent, Ahdy L Attallah resides at 184 Garden Street, Roslyn Heights, NY 11577.
The Respondent and I are related in the following way: I have an intimate relationship
(fonner dating) with the Respondent.
The Respondent committed the following family otfonse against me and/or my children
which constitutes harassment in the first or second degree.
The most recent incident was on May 17, 2011 at 03:00P .M. at my residence: the respondent
now lives where I previously lived, and has the landlord, Cathy Teevan, asking me questions about
me, such as where I am living and how long I plan on living there. She has also asked me how long
I plan to be at my current place of employment, and ifl run seeing anyone. The landlord also gave
me an earring that I believe the respondent had in his possession, and has another earring that may
belong to me. She has also conveyed to me that the respondent is a changed person and that he is
now nice. My mother called the landlord and asked her to ask her to stop asking me questions on
behalf of the respondent. After my mother contacted the landlord and asked her to stop
communicating with me, the landlord wrote a letter to my program director where I work, and asked
that I contact her. I believe she is doing this in order to tarnish my reputation at work.
1 have not filed a criminal complaint concerning this incident.
I have no children and there are no other children living in my home.
The Respondent has acted in a way which I consider dangerous or threatening to me, my
children or members of my family, in addition to the incident described in above, as follows: the
respondent poisoned me with rat/mice poison and pesticides, and told me that if I ended up in the

COUNTY OF NASSAU
In the Matter of a Family Offense Proceeding:
Tamara I. Shashiashvilli,
Petitioner,
- against -
Ahdy L. Attalah,
Respondent.
To THE FAMILY COURT:
File No.: S bb 33f
Docket No.0-'1rl'I- t I
FAMILY OFFENSE
PETITION
1. I, Tamara I. Shashiashvilli reside at 200 Carman Ave., Apt. 3-J, East
Meadow, N.Y., 11554. I have resided in Nassau County for
approximately the past seven (7) years.
2. The respondent, Ahdy L. Attallah, resides at 184 Garden St., Roslyn
Heights, NY, 11577.
3. The respondent and I are related in the following way: we previously
had an intimate relationship: we began dating in approximately August
of 2008, and we lived together from the end of May 2009 until August of
2010, here in Nassau County.
4. During the above referenced period, the respondent was emotionally and
verbally abusive to me, and took actions which convinced me that my life
was at risk. His pattern of abuse and attempts to control my life, caused
me break off my relationship with him in August of 2010. I am seeking a
permanent order of protection which would prohibit him, or any person
acting on his behalf, from having any contact with me, either directly or
indirectly, and which would otherwise direct him to refrain from
harassing or injuring me.
5. I met the respondent while I was attending the New York College of
Osteopathic Medicine at Old Westbury, New York during the summer of
2008. We began dating during August of2008, and we lived together in
Nassau County, New York from May of 2009 until August of 2010.
ATTEMPT TO ISOLATE ME AND CONTROL MY LIFE
6. After we began living together respondent began to slowly exert an
excessive, unhealthy, amount of control over me and my life. Several
months after we moved in together, after I started receiving my
paychecks as a resident at Nassau University Medical Center, respondent
convinced me to place him on my checking account, and to give him
access to my account. Overtime, he began to control my finances, and
used my salary to pay our joint expenses, as well as for his own
purchases and expenses.
Over time he began to challenge how I would spend my money: for
example, as a result of pressure he placed upon me I went a year without
having my hair cut or colored at a salon, when prior to being with him I
would have my hair taken care of on average once every three months.
On one occasion when there was a party for medical residents at my
hospital, and I wanted to pay the $80.00 fee for the both of us to attend
the party, he pressured me not to go, stating it was too much money.
7. In approximately August of 2009, respondent convinced me to take out
a ONE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR LIFE
INSURANCE POLICY ON MYSELF, NAMING HIM THE
2
BENEFICIARY. HE CONTACTED THE INSURANCE AGENT, HAD
HIM COME TO OUR HOME, AND I EXECUTED THE POLICY.
8. Over time, after we began living together, and more so after he'd
convinced me to take out the life insurance policy naming him
beneficiary, he increasingly sought to isolate me from my family and
friends. Before living with respondent I would visit my parents and
brother, who live in Norwalk, Conn. on average once a month, and my
mother, who is also a physician, would usually come to visit with me on
average once or twice a month. In addition, prior to living with
respondent, I would speak with my mother, father, and brother nearly
every day on the phone. After respondent and I began living together, he
would pressure me not to go to visit with them, and told me he did not
want my mother or family coming to visit us. By January of2010 it had
reached a point where respondent told me, and my mother, that if she or
my father ever came to our apartment, he would have them arrested.
When he threatened to have my mother or father arrested if they came to
see me, he told them that I was his girlfriend: and he could do whatever
he wanted with me.
9. Over time, after we began living together, respondent eventually would
yell and curse at me after my family had come to visit me, or had called
me. By January of 2010, respondent finally told me that he did not want
me to have any contact with my family, either by phone or in person, and
threatened to break off our relationship ifl did not comply with his
demands.
l 0. After respondent convinced me to take out the life insurance policy
naming him beneficiary, and after pressuring me to break off contact
with my family, I began to feel increasingly tired and lacked my normal
3
-----------
energy. I do not know if this was because I was depressed at being
isolated from my family, or if respondent may have been responsible.
I l. At approximately the end of November, beginning of December of
2009, my brother asked to borrow my car to go to Niagra Falls. I
learned that when he changed the oil on the vehicle he discovered a
G.P.S. type tracking device affixed to my car. I had not placed that
device on my vechicle, and I am convinced respondent placed the
device on my vehicle. My family wanted me to contact the police and
request an investigation, but at that time I did not want to believe
respondent had done this, or that he may have wished to track me so
that someone could cause me harm and so he could collect on my life
insurance policy.
12. After the tracking device was found on my vehicle, and due to
respondent's conduct toward me my mother had advised me she
performed a computer search of public records and learned that in
2001, in the State of New Jersey, respondent was found to have
engaged in the unauthorized practice of medicine, which involved
administering medications to a woman by way injections and an I.V.
drip. In the final order of the Board, it indicates that it appeared that
before a Court in New Jersey, while "under oath ... during a n the course
of a domestic violence hearing" respondent "misrepresented his
licensing status to the court.", and the Board ordered him to cease and
desist from engaging in or holding himself out as engaging in the
practice of medicine and from using the title or designation of "doctor"
or "physician" until such time as license by the Board of Medical
Examiners. (See Attached "A").
13. On one occasion, in approximately January or February of 20 I 0, after
4
respondent had pressured me to cut off my contact with family, after I
had learned of the G.P.S. device, and after I had cancelled my life
insurance policy, he pressured me to reinstate my life insurance policy,
and to again name him the beneficiary of this $1.5 million dollar policy,\
which I did.
14. On many occasions during our relationship, when I would not do what
respondent wanted me to do, he would yell at me and call me belittling
names, tell me that I was stupid, and threaten to leave me. On one such
occasion, after I had cancelled the life insurance policy, when he was
yelling at me, someone from my program called me, and upon
information and belief heard him yelling at me, and heard me crying. As
a result, they sent uniformed, armed, security officers from the Nassau
University Medical Center, where I was doing my residency, and they
took me away from my apartment and from the respondent to the
Emergency Room at the Hospital to make sure that I was o.k ..
15. Despite the above, I continued with my relationship with respondent,
however, by the end of August of2010, my health was deteriorating. I
felt very weak, I suffered from frequent headaches, nausea and
numbness in my hands and legs - symptoms I had never experienced
before in my life. I felt very sad because respondent had pressured me
not to see my family. Respondent began to pressure me to sign a health
proxy, "in case I ended up in the I.C.U.". As a result I went to my
supervisor in my residency program and asked for a two (2) month
leave of absence. At the meeting where I requested this leave of
absence, my parents showed the Chainnan of my Department from the
Nassau University Medical Center the report from the Board of Medical
Examiners from New Jersey dealing with respondent. The Chairman
5
- -------------------------------
then asked me if respondent was the same individual who had been
involved in the incident referenced above from January of 20 l 0, when
security was sent to my apartment, and I confinned that he was.
As a result of this meeting, upon information and belief, my Dept. Chair
contacted the medical school which I had recently graduated from, and
which respondent had been attending, and it is my understanding that
either the medical school or the hospital conducted an investigation
into respondent. Apparently as a result of this investigation, respondent
was either discharged from, asked to resign or simply resigned from the
Medical School.
16. In August of 2010 I finally broke-off my relationship with respondent,
and told him that I no longer wished to have any contact with him. I also
again cancelled the life insurance policy which he had pressured me to
reinstate. Respondent called my mother's home on several occasions,
after this, yelling at my mother, accusing her of keeping me from him
and demanding to speak with me. After separating from the respondent,
after several weeks my health began to dramatically improve. I no longer
had headaches; I no longer felt numbness; I could think more clearly and
my energy level returned to its previous, normal, level. Although I am
not sure of it, I fear that during the time I lived with respondent, and prior
to my leaving him in August of 2010- while the $1.5 million dollar life
insurance policy was still in effect - that he may have been attempting to
poison me through the use of some chemical or toxic substance.
17 .After breaking up with the respondent, in August of 2010, I applied for
an order of protection against respondent, and was issued a Temporary
Order of Protection by this Court under Docket No. 0-08702; and
6
in May of 2011 I also applied for an order of protection against
respondent under Docket 0-05043-11, and was issued a Temporary
Order of Protection under Docket 0-05043-11. That order was
dismissed, "without prejudice'', for lack of prosecution, on 6-27-l l.
The reason that I did not go back to Court to pursue these orders of
protection was because I was very intimidated by, and afraid of seeing,
the respondent, because of his prior actions taken against me.
RECENT INCIDENTS
18. I am still completing my residency in internal medicine at Nassau
University Medical Center in East Meadow, N.Y .. I live in the hospital
housing for residents on the medical center grounds. In mid-May of
2010, while walking near my apartment, near Carman Ave., I was
approached by my former landlady: Cathy Teevan. I have only seen
her on one occasion since moving out of my former apartment.
On that one occasion I had gone to see her at her home to attempt to by
a piece of furniture from my former apartment.)
Ms. Teevan approached me, and began to ask me many questions about
me. She asked me where I was living, how long I would be staying
there, whether or not I was seeing anyone, and other questions about
my personal life. She indicated the reason that she had come to see me
was because she had found an earring in my former apartment which
she stated she believed belonged to me. Ms. Teevan also advised me
that respondent had moved into an apartment in her home.
19. Shortly after the above incident, my mother contacted Ms.Teevan,
at my request, and told her that I did not wish to have any further
contact with her, and directed her not to call me or contact me in the
future because r did not wish to have anything to do with her or
7
I
l
I
i
I
...... ----------------------------
the respondent. Within a few days, I was advised by my Program
Director that Ms. Teevan written a letter, specifically addressed to my
Program Director, alleging that my mother had called her, and was
threatening her, and requesting that I call her.
20. It believe Ms. Teevan sought me out this past May, and sent the letter
of complaint to my Program Director, at respondent's direction, because
respondent wishes to track me, harass me and possibly harm me.
21. On or about Thursday, July 7th, 2011, while returning to my apartment,
at approximately 9:00 p.m., I noticed a white Lexus which appeared to
be slowly following behind me as I walked to my apartment. When
I stopped near my apartment, and glanced at the vehicle, it pulled over
into a parking space. I thought the car may have belonged to a new
resident, but nobody exited the vehicle. I then stared at the vehicle, and
it immediately drove off without having discharged any passenger.
This happened within nine (9) days of this Court having dismissed the
previously issued Order of Protection, and approximately two (2)
months after I s Teevan had contacted me, and it caused me to become
fearful.
22. After the above incident with the Lexus, I retained the services of a
a private investigator to attempt to contact Ms. Teevan to learn why
she had come to see me after I had moved out of her apartment more
than two (2) years ago, and to learn if respondent had sent her. The
investigator told me that when he went to Ms. Teevan's residence
in Roslyn Heights, respondent answered the door; told him that
Ms. Teevan was unavailable, and stated that he wished to know why he
was attempting to contact Ms. Teevan. He identified himself by name
and also identi fled himself as being Ms. Teevan' s "boyfriend".
23. I believe that respondent sent Ms. Teevan to contact me and to gather
information about me; I also believe he asked her to send a letter of
complaint to my Program Director to cause me problems at school, to
harass me, and in retaliation for his either being discharged from, or
asked to leave, medical school.
24. I fear Mr. Attallah, and I do not wish to have any contact with him.
I do not want him to contact me, either directly or indirectly, or through
any third party. I do not wish for him to come anywhere near my home
or place of business, or any other place where I may be.
25. I have never had a determination on the merits made on the allegations
contained in this proceeding; although I previously filed for an order of
protection, I did not pursue my request for an order of protection
because I was afraid of the respondent and feared seeing him again. I
do not wish to have the respondent arrested, I simply wish for him to
stay away from me and to leave me alone.
26. I have not filed a criminal complaint concerning these incidents.
27. I have no children and there are no other children living in my home.
Tamara I. Shashiashvili being duly sworn, says that she is the Petitioner in
the above named proceedings and that the foregoing petition is true to her own
knowledge, except as to matters stated to be alleged on information and to her
knowledge and belief and as to those matters, she believes them to be true.

Personal Comments: Please discuss your reasons for applying to the EPP program.
My goal it is to practice a medicine that is treating the person as a unit of body,
mind and spirit and recognizes that human being is capable of self regulation and
preservation.
My interest is to practice in a field of medicine that provides quality health care
for patients and assists them to better understand osteopathic medicine.
It is a challenge to practice osteopathic medicine for its uniqueness, holistic and
philosophic approach. I am interested in practicing the medicine that diagnose,
prevents and treats the condition using manual and physical therapies to restore or
correct the physiological function.
Osteopathic medicine is the alternative medicine that complements the traditional
medicine.
I am very interested to pursue this field in order to understand better the options of
reliving and curing the human diseases and ailments and to offer treatments that are
interfering minimally with human physiology.
I am very grateful that NYCOM offers, through the Emigree Physician Program,
the chance for a foreign medical graduate to pursue this training in Osteopathic
Medicine. I am looking forward to get more experience in a field of medicine that is
so interesting and challenging.
Selection of candidates Is competitive; achieving a minimum, passing TOEFL Score

Role of the Director of Student Affairs/Dean of Students
The role of the Director of Student Affairs/Dean of Students when presiding over a Discipline Review
Board hearing is to advise the student of his/her rights under the Student Code of Conduct; maintain an
orderly hearing ensuring that all parties are treated with respect and free from intimidation or harassment;
make all administrative decisions on matters relating to the admission of relevant evidence, testimony and
questions; and administer the oath of truthful testimony to all participants.
Deliberations and Burden of Proof
At the conclusion of a Discipline Review Board hearing all parties except members of the Board are
excused and the Board deliberates. The standard burden of proof used in all disciplinary eases is
42
-preponderance of evidence. The term - preponderance of evidence means that evidence, considered as a
whole, indicates the fact sought to be proved is more probable, or that it is more likely than not the
alleged behavior did violate the Academic Integrity Policy. The burden rests with the college and the
student is presumed not responsible. Responsibility is determined by a simple majority vote of the Board
members, except in cases involving expulsion, which must be unanimous. A student's academic and
previous disciplinary record may not be used to determine responsibility but may be taken into account in
determining appropriate educational and disciplinary sanctions. Deliberations are not audio taped but the
vote count, decision rendered and sanctions imposed are taped and become a part of the official record of
the hearing.
3.3.11 SANCTIONS
If the Board determines that a student has violated the Academic Integrity Policy it has full discretion to
impose the following sanctions:
Warning -- A written reprimand to the student that further violation of the Academic Integrity Policy will
result in more serious disciplinary action.
Educational Assignment - Required participation in a development task for the purpose of making a
positive contribution to the student's well being such as attendance at an educational workshop, research
project, essay, meetings/interviews with college officials, planning and implementing educational
programs, or other activities.
Disciplinary Probation A specified period of time during which a student has the opportunity to
demonstrate his/her ability to be a responsible member of the NYIT community. A student on probation is
prohibited from holding an office or being elected to any honorary society. He/she may be restricted from
participation in other activities as determined by the board.
Suspension Suspension from academic enrollment and revocation of other privileges or activities, and
the privilege to enter all NYIT campuses for a period of time not to exceed two (2) years. Conditions that
will permit the student's readmission, if appropriate, will be specifically outlined in writing. Any
communications with the college and student during the period of suspension will be directed to the
Director of Student Affairs/Dean of Students.
Expulsion - Complete termination of student status and academic enrollment for an indefinite period of
time. The sanction may be recommended, but can only be imposed by the president of NYIT. Conditions
that will permit the student's readmission, if appropriate, will be specifically outlined in writing. Any
communications with the college and student during the period of expulsion will be directed to the
Campus Dean.
3.3.12 ACADEMIC SANCTIONS AND GRADE PENALTIES
The Discipline Review Board does not have the authority to issue academic sanctions or grade penalties
in cases where a student is found responsible for violating the Academic Integrity Policy. The evaluation
of a student's academic work and issuing a course grade is the responsibility of the instructor. However,
the Board may make a recommendation to the instructor for consideration. In cases where a student is
found responsible for an academic integrity violation by the Board and the student has exhausted the
disciplinary appeals process allowed by this code, the student cam1ot appeal the academic sanctions or

REPORT OF NEW COMPLAINTS FILED
1. ANAMA, Luzminda M., M.D., License #34348 (Toms River, NJ)
Complaint filed September 28, 2001 alleging Respondent's deviations from accepted standards of medical
practice in her care of one patient demonstrated repeated acts of negligence.
1. ATTALLAH, Ahdi, Unlicensed, a/k/a Ahdy Attallah, Ahdy Attalah (Jersey City, NJ)
CONSENT ORDER filed September 10, 2001. The Board received a complaint from a woman that alleged
that while she was engaged in a romantic relationship with Ahdi Attallah, he treated her diabetic condition,
examined her, gave her daily shots of insulin, started an IV drip into her arm, gave her prescription strength
Motrin and birth control pills. The record also reflects that Ahdi Attallah testified under oath before
Honorable Martin Barber, J .S.C., in Superior Court, Hudson County, during a domestic violence hearing,
that he received a medical license in November 1999. The Board reviewed documentation that the
respondent graduated from medical school in Egypt, had satisfied requirements for the Educational
Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG), his testimony during a court appearance that he had
obtained his medical license in 1999, and his certification that he never treated patients nor practiced
medicine in the State of New J ersey. It appeared to the Board he misrepresented his licensing status to the
court. The Board has ordered he cease and desist from engaging in or holding himself out as engaging in the
practice of medicine and surgery and from using the title or designation "doctor", "physician" or any other
language or title denoting licensure unless and until he is duly licensed by the Board of Medical Examiners
to do so or until he holds a Board-issued residency training permit enabling him to matriculate in an ECFMG
postgraduate training program. EFFECTIVE DATE: August20, 2001
2. BLOCK, Michael G., M.D., License #27218 (West Orange, NJ)
ORDER OF REINSTATEMENT OF LICENSE filed August 31, 2001. Dr. Block's license to practice
medicine in the State of New J ersey is reinstated. On February22, 1999, an Initial Decision/Settlement and
Order were filed which suspended Dr. Block's license for three months and required successful completion
of an ethics course and payment of penalties and costs. The conduct which formed the basis for the Order
involved, but was not limited to, multiple instances of false statements to insurance companies which
enabled this physician to obtain disability benefits. Based on his compliance with the terms of the Board's
order, his license has been reinstated. EFFECTIVE DATE: August 31, 2001
3. BYRON, Herve M., M.D., License #20959 (Englewood Cliffs, NJ)
CONSENT ORDER OF PERMANENT RETIREMENT OF LICENSURE filed August 19, 2001 The
Board received information that Dr. Byron wished to permanently retire his license to practice medicine in
the State of New J ersey. The Board granted leave and shall immediately voluntarily permanently retire his
license to practice medicine and surgery in the State of NewJ ersey. EFFECTIVE DATE: August 19, 2001
4. FREUNDLICH, William, D.P.M., License #1143 (Passaic, NJ)
FINAL ORDER OF DISCIPLINE filed August 31, 2001. Dr. Freundlich's license to practice podiatry in

charged with conspiracy to commit mail fraud. EFFECTIVE DATE: August 31, 2001

The following is a sketch of the threatening and egregious behavior of NYCOM student Ahdi Atallah toward an lntamal
Medicine resident Tamara Shashiashvllll D.O.
Tamara has on campus housing that she shares with her domestic partner Ahdi.
Earlier this year according to reports Tamara left lhe hospital while on call due to a threatening incident involving
Mr. Atallah.
Today the Department of Medicine as well as Academic Affairs nollfled me of the very distwt>ing information as to
why Tamara has requested a leave of absence
from her residency program. She is extremely upset and not able to function at the present time due to continued
threats from Ahdl. f4a a result has obtained an order of prol!ecllon against him. This order is in force
now. Tamara was forced by Adhl to take out a life Insurance policy for $1,500,000 on her life making him the sole
beneficiary. Her parents found out about this and she then cancelled the policy, when Adhi found out about the
cancellation he became furious with her and she reinstated the policy.
According to the Chair of Medicine at NUMC Adhl Atallah had threatened to kiU another gir1frfend in 2001 and had
been arrested at that time.
Mary Ann, in my opinion this is not the kind of person NYCOM or any Medical School wants.

August 25, 2010 - Held Investigatory Meeting with Deans Achtziger and Bruno
and Ahdy, at which time the student was explained the NUMC issues. Asked if
he had been served with legal papers on an order of protection from Tamara -
he said absolutely not. After asking for the third time and still being told no, it
was explained that NUMC had a copy of the legal paperwork. Then he admitted
he did receive the legal paperwork from Connecticut. Discussion of Criminal
Background Policy. The policy was reviewed, Criminal Background Check read
line for line from the Student Handbook. Asked by both Deans if he had ever
had any other legal problems in his past - charges, arrests or convictions of any

Background Check which we do for all 2"d year students, he said he was arrested
once in 1996 when he was a visitor in the country. He assured us this was his
only prior charge, arrest or conviction. He was scheduled for a Student

1. ATTALLAH, Abdi, Unlicensed, a/k/a Ahdy Attallah, Ahdy Attalah (Jersey City, NJ)
CONSENT ORDER filed September 10, 2001. The Board received a complaint from a woman
that alleged that while she was engaged in a romantic relationship with Ahdi Attallah, he treated
her diabetic condition, examined her, gave her daily shots of insulin, started an IV drip into her
arm, gave her prescription strength Motrin and birth control pills. The record also reflects that
Abdi Attallah testified under oath before Honorable Martin Barber, J.S.C., in Superior Court,
Hudson County, during a domestic violence hearing, that he received a medical license in
November 1999. The Board reviewed documentation that the respondent graduated from medical
school in Egypt, had satisfied requirements for the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical
Graduates (ECFMG), his testimony during a court appearance that he had obtained his medical
license in 1999, and his certification that he never treated patients nor practiced medicine in the
State of New Jersey. It appeared to the Board he misrepresented his licensing status to the court.
The Board has ordered he cease and desist from engaging in or holding himself out as engaging
in the practice of medicine and surgery and from using the title or designation "doctor",
"physician" or any other language or title denoting licensure unless and until he is duly licensed
by the Board of Medical Examiners to do so or until he holds a Board-issued residency training
permit enabling him to matriculate in an ECFMG postgraduate training program. EFFECTIVE

Ahdy Attallah-update
Summary of Ahdy Attallah
1- August 24- received a call and email from Dr Diamond at NUMC regarding Ahdy Atallah's alleged
Violations of the Code of Conduct.
2- August 25- Held Investigatory Meeting with Deans Achtziger and Bruno and Ahdy at which the student
was explained the NUMC charges. Asked if he had been served with legal papers on an order of protection
from Tamara- he said absolutely not. After asking for the third time and still being told no, it was explained
that NUMC had a copy of the legal paperwork. Then he admitted he did receive the legal paperwork from
Connecticut. Asked by both Deans if he had ever had any other legal problems in his past - charges , arrests
or convictions of any kind- he again said no. Then when we said we would be completing a Criminal
Background check which we do for all 2nd year students, he said he was arrested once in 1996 when he was a
visitor in the country. He assured us this was his only prior charge, arrest or conviction. He was scheduled for
a Student Discipline Review Board Hearing for August 26.
3- August 26- held a Student Discipline Review Board Hearing at 12pm- Deans Scandalis, Bryant, Amsler
and Achtziger. Student began by explaining he did not understand why Tamara was making these charges:
a. When asked why he said he had never received legal papers on an order of protection when he had
been served on the previous Friday at NYCOM, he said he assumed we meant paperwork from NUMC not
Connecticut.
b. When asked why he originally said he was never charged or arrested or convicted or anything and then
admitted to an arrest in 1996 which he claims was from a woman demanding his money(which turns out to be
2001 for domestic violence and practicing medicine without a license in New Jersey and falsely telling the
court he had a license since 1999), he said it didn't understand the question.
c. After assuring us that the New Jersey incident was his only legal problem in the U S, he was asked about
an outstanding arrest warrant in Nebraska and he said oh yes he thought it was for speeding and then he
referenced California and admitted that he had an outstanding arrest for shoplifting (both since applying to
and being admitted to and enrolled at NYCOM).
Prior Student Declarations
1- The Student signed a Registration Form which asks: HAVE YOU BEEN CHARGED OR ARRESTED FOR ANY
FELONY, MISDEMEANOR, OR VIOLATION SINCE ACCEPTANCE OR ENROLLMENT AT NYCOM. The student
answered NO .
2- The Student signed an original application to the EPP Program which states HAVE YOU EVER BEEN
CONVICTED OF A MISDEMAENOR OR FELONY (EXCLUDING PARKING VIOATIONS). The student answered
NO.

Exhibit H-13
