The medical records related to the claims of Plaintiffs were received but could not 

evaluated by Defendants within the time allotted for completion of the ENE. Further, there 

remains a dispute between the parties as to the discoverability and admissibility of certain of 

Defendants' police personnel records, including the preparation by counsel for defendants of a 

detailed and comprehensive privilege log. The parties are working diligently to narrow the 

dispute and to craft a protective order for those remaining documents that are agreed to be 

available to plaintiffs. The parties have obtained the agreement of Early Neutral Evaluator 

Anthony Boskovich to extend the deadline, and have secured from him several dates before 

March 30, 2007 on which to complete the ENE process. 

Accordingly, the parties stipulate and respectfully request that the Court extend the 

deadline for completion of the ENE process until March 30, 2007, 

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

case. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
