According to the documents, Allman filed the motion “in an effort to protect” his “physician-patient privileged and psychotherapist-patient privileged information.”
The motion also cites the intention “to protect Allman from unwarranted annoyance, embarrassment, oppression, and undue burden and expense,” should the information in his medical records be discussed publicly.

Allman and his attorneys argued in the motion that the subpoena the Grammy winner filed was done so “in bad faith” because it was allegedly ordered “knowing that the records requested cannot be produced in time” and since they infringe upon the “proposed conservatee’s right to privacy.”
The filing also claims the subpoena was ordered “in the misuse of the discovery process” because of the timeframe in which the records were requested.

Since the discovery process was allegedly violated, Allman also requested in the filing that the court impose “monetary sanctions against” his mother for $3,000.

The singer/actress filed for the subpoena as a part of the ongoing case that she brought forth in December to propose her son be placed under a conservatorship due to his alleged mental health issues and in order to manage his finances.
The subpoena was ordered after Cher’s attorneys have argued in court that her son has a “history of drug use” and multiple diagnoses of mental illnesses.
The music legend’s team also revealed that, on several occasions within the last year, Allman had been placed under several 5150 holds — a California legal code which allows a person with a mental illness to be involuntarily detained for a 72-hour psychiatric hospitalization. They stated that the most recent incident was in September 2023 when Allman was said to be sober but experiencing a “psychotic episode.”

Thetemporary conservatorship was ultimately deniedat the time because Cher’s attorneys did not present enough evidence and Allman proved “he has managed his finances” and “has remained drug free” after multiple drug tests were administered.
More recently in an early March hearing, Allman’s team argued that his mother and her team were continuing the case until he was left “dry.”
While Allman has been receiving distributions to his trust, which the judge pointed out, he expressed not wanting to pay additional legal fees as the case remains ongoing.
Oct. 3 is currently set for a mandatory settlement conference hearing if both parties do not settle before then.
