TO THE COURT AND ALL PARTIES AND THEIR ATTORNEYS OF RECORD:

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between all parties as follows:

WHEREAS the parties engaged in comprehensive meet and conferences on April 1 , 

2024 – April 2, 2024, regarding, amongst other things, matters that may be stipulated to in an 

order to avoid the need for Daubert motions/in lieu of Daubert motions;

WHEREAS during the meet and confer conference, Defendants Carleton Technologies, 

Inc. and Cobham PLC (collectively, “Cobham”) obtained stipulations from all counsel to the 

following matters at trial:

1. Plaintiffs stipulate that there will be no mention, contention, argument or testimony 

that plaintiff William Johnson will develop dementia as a result of his injuries and/or that plaintiff 

William Johnson will need 24/7 care as a result of developing dementia. 

2. Cobham has advised all Parties that it intends to file motions to exclude: 1) the 

animation/PowerPoint prepared by Brian Spencer and Aaron Jones; 2) to exclude any references 

in the life care plan to plaintiff William Johnson needing 24/7 care; and 3) to exclude the life care 

plan given that it does not account for plaintiff William Johnson’s life expectancy. As part of the 

meet and confer process, the Parties agree and stipulate that these three issues should be addressed 

via motions in limine rather than a Daubert motion. The Parties further stipulate that they will not 

contend in any anticipated opposition that such motions should have been raised as a Daubert 

motion.
