Dra Stella Steriboris: Well friends, here we are back, we are going to receive today's

next case with this quote from the French priest Vincent de Paul, he says: "Noise
does not do good and good does not make noise"
Let the litigants pass

Tracy Thunder: This is the first time this has happened to me, this woman is
crazy
Ava Adamson: my life is very difficult here the only victim is me

Dra Steriboris: Good afternoon, welcome


Tracy Thunder y Ava Adamson: Good afternoon
Dra Steriboris:Tracy, you're going to sue Ava. Tell me who she is, why are you suing
her, and what are you asking to settle the case?
Tracy:Well, I'm suing this woman because she took my life. This woman, since she
came to my house, has been destroying everything.
Dra Steriboris:Wait, who is she? How is he related to you?
Tracy:She is my neighbor
Dra Steriboris:and she lives in your house?
Tracy:No ,she’s my neighbor
Dra Steriboris: ahh she is your neighbor, she lives in the house next door
Tracy:Yes, she is my neighbor, I am demanding that she pay me 70,000 dollars
because this woman set fire to my house and in addition to this, I have lost the
opportunity of my life. I have lost the opportunity of my life, I was going to do a
very big tour but this woman has burned down my studio with all the musical
instruments inside, and I could not do my tour
Ok I'll explain
12 years ago I came to this country, I sacrificed a lot, 10 years to buy my house, do
my studio
Dra Steriboris: a music studio?
Tracy:Yes, a music studio. I have images, I have videos that I can show you the
conditions in which this woman damaged my music studio.
Dr Steriboris:ok, do you have pictures there?
Tracy:I have a video
Dra Sterboris:Okay, let's watch the video. Director please

Tracy:Here are all my time of work and sacrifice…


*Sale Ava tapandose los oidos cuando escucha a Tracy tocar su instrumento
musical y sale con cara de disgusto.Se saca unos cascos y se los pone*

Dra Steriboris:that sounds very ugly


Tracy: what have you said?
Dra Sterboris:That the sound was not nice
Tracy:No, the sound was not good
Dra Steriboris:Well, was this your study before the fire?
Tracy:Two years ago, I bought my little house. A humble house. I prepared my
studio there, created conditions so that no noise would come out, so as not to
disturb anyone at all. Unfortunately, this woman arrived 7 months ago and they
began to send people from the municipalities, from the city. He began to send
inspectors to me. Nobody really did anything because I had my house well
prepared.
Dra Steriboris:but what is the complaint? What is her complaint?
Tracy:That the noise was very loud
Ava:Horrible
Tracy:She complained that the noise disperses but in reality nothing happened, the
noise did not bother anyone
Ava:It is not like this
Tracy:From that, this woman started doing yoga, she started screaming in the
patio of the house. So all my musicians when they go to my house, when they come
to rehearse in the studio, they are entertained looking at the crazy woman who is
screaming. A demon out there bothering everyone.
One time we were assembling all the things, even one of the guys who was carrying
a piano dropped it because he was scared by the cries of this critter.
Dr Steriboris:Here is the proof-evidence of this woman screaming in the yard.
Tracy:Ok, this does not stop there. This woman sends a policeman to my house, the
policeman... I was so stressed... I lost my papers... I treated the police badly. He
arrested me. I have the evidence here…
*Le entrega los papeles*
Ava:for rude
Dra Steriboris:Here it says arrested for disorderly conduct
Ava:she is always like this
Tracy:I had to pay a deposit of 500 dollars that I don't have, I don't have enough
money to be…
Ava:you looked for it
Tracy:ok, this doesn't stop there. This woman is horrible, one day we were
rehearsing for my tour. I have a tour, I was going to win 20,000 dollars, this
woman gave fire to my house, gave fire to my studio
Ava:That is not like that
Tracy:She gave fire to my studio
Ava:i said That is not like that
Dra Steriboris:You shut up. Shut up please because I'm tormenting myself with so
many people talking at once
Tracy:A music studio I did, doctor. so much sacrifice
Dra Steriboris:But what happened? There was a fire, but was it a fire that started in
her house?
Tracy:yes, at her house. I realized because this woman always had a kitchen or a
barbecue there on the other side of the neighbor. That day it happened that this
woman had put it on my side of the patio and it burned everything, the nearby, my
studio.
Everything I had built, my instruments, I couldn't do the tour
Dra Steriboris:and you lost the studio, the instruments and everything?
Tracy:yes, even the computer with information. I lost all the instruments of that
were not even mine
Dr steriboris:Let me see the photos , sir director.
Let me see.Okay everything burned.
Okay one question, do you have home insurance?
Tracy :I bought my house in cash. I was going... I wanted to put my insurance after
this tour that was going to provide me with a little money.
First of all, I felt that I had no need because I paid for my house in cash. I assume
my responsibility, but I don't expect a crazy person like this
Ava:you looked for it
Tracy:I didn't imagine that she was going to burn down my house
Dra Steriboris:Okay, one more question Tracy. Was there an investigation into said
fire, yes or no? There was an investigation.
What was the results?
Tracy:The results of the investigation say it was an accident but she still has to pay
me. It was his fault, that was his fault. If the fire came from your house, whose fault
is it? It's my fault?
Dr Sterisboris:Fine, perfect. That's your position. I understand you perfectly. Ava,
what's wrong, are you cold?
Ava:Doctor look, I have a condition, a "hyperacusis" disease. There are certain
sounds that other people can tolerate, that are normal. But not for me
Tracy:That's your problem, I'm at my home
Ava:Please. It's like a hammer there that is tormenting me. It can give me a
migraine, it can make me dizzy.
I get hysterical, in a bad mood. Doctor, when I got home and saw that my neighbor
was playing music, I approached her to talk to her about my condition. This lady
literally mistreated me, speaking vulgarly, she sent me to hell. she told me it was
her space that I was crazy
Dra Storiboris:Well, what did you expect her to do? If she dedicates herself to that
and she conditioned her house for that
Ava:It didn't cost her anything to play a little more moderate
*Se ponen a hablar Tracy y Ava a la vez*
Ava:Please, shut up.
the other, doctor is not as she says.
With my condition, with my problem, I look for my escape routes. My yoga, for
example
Dra Steriboris:Yes, but why did you start screaming like crazy?
Ava:Well, it helps me free myself, I feel more comfortable. I like it, I feel more
connected with myself.
I always try to be alone, that there is no one
Dra Steriboris:And who do you live with there in that house?
Ava:Doctor, now I'm alone
Dra Steriboris:but you lived with your mom before? Where is your mom now?
Tracy:she put her mom in an asylum
Ava:No, I did not put my mother in an asylum. She went to a residence alone
Dra Steriboris:but why?
Ava:Doctor because my mom suffers from the same as me. You have to feel it, you
have to live it to know what it's like to live that way.
When I yell, I try to make sure that no one is there, I more or less know the
schedule of my neighbors. But she looks for me
Dra Steriboris:Let me see the police report on the fire. Let me see.
Tracy says the day of the fire you cooked on her side of the patio when you used to
do it somewhere else.
Ava:Doctor, look that day I was crazy. I was like crazy. I'm not going to deny that
I've had times when I've wanted to take a drum and put it on this crazy woman's
head as a hat.
Dra Steriboris:Listen to me, what I need is a break. On the way back I want you to
explain to me what happened on the day of the accident. We return after this short
break.
*RECESO,ANUNCIOS*
Dra Steriboris:Tracy sues her neighbor Ava for the amount of 70,000 dollars for the
damage caused to her house and her music studio due to a fire that she caused in
her house while she was cooking, a barbecue I imagine she was doing. And now
Tracy has a wreck at home, his musical instruments were lost and she demands her
for 70,000 dollars. What I want is for you to explain…
Tracy:her house is fine now
Dra Steriboris:I want you to shut up. She must have had insurance, and that's why
they fixed it. I want you to explain to me what happened on the day of the accident,
Ava.
Ava:Doctor, I was worse than any other day because these people started making
noise "tucutucutucu" early on. And it was something that hammered my head, I
was bad.
I don't know what happened to me, it was like a start that gave me…
*Tracy le interrumpe y se ponen a discutir,la Dra da un martillazo*
Dra Steriboris:If you will keep using your voice to interrupt ,you get off my set.
This is not a zoo, do you understand me? You come here looking for a solution and
you behave like a BEAST.
*Para*
What happened? You left, you had a fit, the house caught fire and everything
burned down. Perfect.
Witnesses. Who has witnesses? Both? Okay, pass me the witnesses please.
I'm tired of people and rudeness, they come here and just interrupt.

who are you?*señala a un testigo*

Alexia: GOOD AFTERNOON DOCTOR,I AM THE WITNESS of Tracy


Dra Steriboris:What are you coming to declare?
Alexia:I come to declare that Tracy has never had any problems with anyone in the
neighborhood. I am her cousin and neighbor and she has never had problems with
anyone in her life. In the neighborhood the only problem is her,Ava. She stands
there screaming , bothering people.
I have seen Tracy work all her life for her music studio and when she was able to get
it, the devil came to burn it. Everyone in the neighborhood is fed up with her, with
her crazy things.
Ava:This woman is a drug addict, doctor
Dra Steriboris: Let's see, no one here has brought me evidence of what normally
sounds like at Tracy's house. As far as I know, no inspector has ever fined you, and
no one has ever filed a complaint.
But I think it is important if what you come to report is a noise problem, it is
normal to bring evidence of the sound.

Well anyway, what's your name?


Guadalupe Gonzalez:My name is Guadalupe and I come as Avita's witness. I know
her because I worked with her mother, I took care of her for 5 years. Indeed, the
lady was complaining, the lady has the same condition as Ava but was never really
diagnosed. When Tracy arrived she changed her temper, she couldn't take it
anymore and she had to go to a nursing home
Dra Steriboris:Let's see, were you in that house when Tracy was rehearsing?
Guadalupe:Yes doctor
Dra Steriboris:and was that very annoying or not?v
Guadalupe:It bothered me too, a little. But not to the point of despair.
Dra Steriboris:Well, explain me more about this condition, about hyperacusis
Guadalupe:Hyperacusis is a condition where the nerve that goes from the brain to
the ear is hypersensitive and sometimes the brain itself has the condition of
hearing sounds louder, more exaggerated. It is believed to be a genetic defect in the
body caused by trauma. and there are no treatments or medication for it. It leads to
desperation, people who suffer from it must be treated for a long time
Alexia:Let's see, you just made that up. And even if it was right, why would this
devil start screaming like crazy in the yard if he has hypersensitivity problems. It
doesn't make sense, I think she's making it up to get away with it of what she has
done.
She has burned down my cousin's house, her music studio that cost her so much
money and time to do and she has to pay for it.
I even consider that the amount that Tracy has requested is too low, Ava should pay
all the repairs of the house, the studio and the 20,000 dollars that Tracy was going
to earn doing her tour.
She has ruined her life
Guadalupe:I have a degree in nursing, a drug addict like you is not going to tell me
that I am lying.
Ava is not going to pay anything, this would not have happened if your cousin was a
little more considerate with the neighbors of the building before starting to make
noise like an animal
Alexia:What did you call me, stupid ass licker?
To begin with, your opinion is not valid since you have hardly been in the building,
do you justify that Ava starts screaming like crazy just to annoy the rest? Even you
have said that it was not so much noise as to reach despair, yourself you have
agreed with my cousin
*se ponen a decirse cosas sin sentido y Alexia le tira el agua a Guadalupe*
Dra Storiboris:Calm down, calm down, everybody, or I'm going to have to call
security.
Please have Inspector Robert Ratt come in.

Good afternoon, you are in charge of investigating fires and that kind of thing,
right?
Robert Ratt:Yes, I am in charge of investigating this type of fire at the regional and
federal levels.
Dra Steriboris:Okay, perfect.
Have you read the police report that had this case?
Robert Ratt:I didn't really get a chance
Dra Steriboris:Come on, come here for a moment, please. No problem, we can see
the evidence right here, you and me.
look what it says here
Robert Ratt:There was a negligence, it is clear
Tracy:she did it on purpose
Ava:No,doctor
Robert Ratt:The fire came from outside, and not only that. She usually cooked on
the other side of the house and that day in question she suspiciously changed sides,
near the plaintiff's house.
Dra Steriboris:¿Habría determinado que fue un accidente?
Robert Ratt:It is very difficult, fires are one of the most difficult cases to verify
because in most cases the evidence is burned.
However, I would have taken into account the fact that the defendant decided to
cook that day next to the neighbor she hated so much.
From my point of view it was provoked and intentional.
Dra Steriboris:Evidence is missing here of the damages and prejudices that she
suffered in comparison to Tracy. No evidence of noise. Nobody brought me
evidence of how much it sounds and I have to base that noise on normal ears, not
on Ava's.

Decision of the case, I grant you the demand, 70,000 dollars in three days. I have
said case closed.

Be courteous, be careful, educate yourself as much as you can. Respect so that they
respect you and may God help you, see you the next day and thank you.
