Back to the judge who initially signed the search warrant that got the case off the ground. They sure are taking their sweet time though! :crazy:

Circuit Judge Jeffrey Winikoff transferred the case and the sealed medical records today to Circuit Judge Thomas Barkdull III. Barkdull signed the initial search warrants that enabled their seizure from four doctors in November and December 2003.

Limbaugh's files will stay under wraps until Barkdull rules on whether all or some of the seized files will be turned over to investigators pursuing a criminal investigation.

Prosecutors want to use the medical records in pursuing allegations that the Palm Beach resident illegally stocked up on prescription painkillers – a third-degree felony called doctor shopping.
