Leyva, meanwhile, claims he never signed a settlement, so any such document would be a forgery.
He says any funds wired to him were for his contracted services, not related to the dog attack.

French acknowledged the severity of the attack and told me that he would take care of my medical bills.

Speaking toRolling Stoneon Monday, Kharbouchs lawyer said his side isnt giving up.
We will ask the judge to reconsider, lawyer Dariush Adli tellsRolling Stone.
If he wont, well recommend to our client that we appeal.
If the judge maintains his position, we are confident this will be overturned on appeal.
My clients incident was the third reported dog attack (three unrelated claims) on unsuspecting laborers/service men.
