Upon completing the initial ENE telephone conference, it became apparent to all parties 

involved that for a meaningful ENE process to take place further investigation and discovery 

need to take place, requiring an extension of the ENE deadline. More specifically, Plaintiffs 

desire discovery of various police personnel files, which may involve issues concerning a 

protective order or possible in-camera review by the Court. Additionally, one of the primary 

issues in this case is causation concerning Plaintiff’s claim of a loss of twin fetuses. At the 

least, medical records will need to be obtained before a meaningful ENE process can take place. 

Accordingly, the parties stipulate and respectfully request that the Court grant a 

continuance of 90 days until February 26, 2007 in which to complete the ENE process. 

The parties believe by that time that they will be better able to evaluate the merits of the 

case. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
