Attorney: I haven't received Dukes' records

TAMPA -- The attorney for Elijah Dukes' estranged wife said she had not received medical records about his stay at a Texas clinic by a court-ordered deadline of 5 p.m. today.

"We have not received it, and some things will be kicking up about that tomorrow," said Catherine Real, an attorney for NiShea Gilbert. "Some things are happening. I wouldn't say there's a violation."

Real declined to elaborate further but said she planned on talking further with Gilbert Wednesday about her divorce case against the Devil Rays player.

Dukes' attorney could not be reached for comment.

On Monday, Hillsborough Circuit Judge J. Kevin Carey gave until 5 p.m. today for the attorney to give Real medical records on his stay at the Menninger Clinc in Houston. At a July hearing, Dukes' attorney said he had been treated there for mental issues and drug abuse.

Real wants to know the extent of Dukes' treatment at the clinic and have an addictions specialist review the records. She says they are a key piece in knowing about Dukes' mental health as Dukes and Gilbert fight for custody of their two young children.
