John D. Smith filed his disclosure untimely because he had multiple health issues over the past 3 years. His rotator cuff was severely turned until June of 2023. He had surgery, but the anchor came loose. Approximately four weeks ago, it was repaired again. He also suffers from a heart condition. He is currently attending therapy for his neck and lower back. Therapy for his shoulder will begin in two weeks. In four months, he will have a procedure for the stenosis in his lower back.
