===Request for a temporary guardian=== Clonaid spokeswoman Nadine Gary claimed that Eve went home with her mother on December 30, 2002,<ref name="Clone Maybe Baby Goes Home">[https://www.wired.com/medtech/health/news/2002/12/57019 Clone Maybe Baby Goes Home], ''[[Wired News]]''. December 31, 2002. Retrieved October 11, 2007.</ref> but Florida attorney Bernard Siegel filed a petition as a private citizen<ref name="Guardian sought for alleged clone">{{cite web |url=http://tvnz.co.nz/view/news_world_story_skin/159038 |title=Guardian sought for alleged clone |date=January 1, 2003 |work=[[1News|ONE News]] |access-date=September 24, 2011}}</ref> in the [[Broward County]] Circuit Court requesting that a temporary guardian be appointed for the purported cloned child. Two local attorneys, Barry Wax and Jonathan Schwartz were retained to represent Clonaid in the matter.{{citation needed|date=November 2012}} As the court case played out over the next month, Dr. Boisselier testified under oath that there was a cloned child born outside of the U.S. living in Israel. However, Clonaid did not present demonstrative evidence that the child really existed.<ref name="Where is the Clone?">[https://transcripts.cnn.com/show/se/date/2003-01-29/segment/04 Where is the Clone?], ''[[CNN]]''. January 29, 2003. Retrieved September 9, 2007.</ref> Boisselier said that Eve would travel to the United States that day for DNA tests. She said that a pediatrician saw Eve and her mother in good condition, but she refused to mention the location of the surrogate birth, the testing lab, or the biological mother's home, which she wanted to reveal at a later time. The mother was said to be 31 years old with an infertile husband.<ref name="CNN.com - Clonaid: Baby 'clone' returns home - Jan. 1, 2003"/> Siegel subpoenaed Thomas Kaenzig, a vice president of Clonaid, to appear on a civil proceeding set to occur on January 22, 2003. Siegel's office sent summonses to Thomas Kaenzig and "Jane Doe", the purported mother of Eve. Siegel hoped that the action would coax those involved to provide some answers. He believed the child, if she existed, needed an appointed guardian and would need extensive medical treatment which he doubted Clonaid could offer. He wanted the court to make a decision on how to best protect her. However, Clonaid prevented scientists from meeting the purported child and mother.<ref name="Clonaid summoned to U.S. court">[http://www.cnn.com/2003/LAW/01/12/cloning.court/index.html Clonaid summoned to U.S. court], ''[[CNN]]''.
