Civil No.02cv0819 WQH (AJB)

ORDER FOLLOWING SETTLEMENT

CONFERENCE

 On January 14, 2008, the Court convened a Settlement Conference in the above entitled action. 

Appearing were Tom Friedberg, Esq. and Aaron Schoenfeld on behalf of plaintiff; Tom Reeve, Esq. and

Steve Poliakoff, Esq. on behalf of defendant.

Settlement could not be reached in the case at this time. Defense exams are still outstanding and

plaintiffs have not yet received the life care plan necessary for full analysis of the damages issues. A

significant issue with regard to liability remains, and settlement cannot be discussed in that regard until

the expert discovery is underway. 

The parties have an issue with regard to the payment of plaintiff’s airfare and hotel for a return to

San Diego following the Neuroma excision procedure in February or March. Following discussion, the

Court orders the defense to pay the cost of the airfare and hotel expenses for this visit. Counsel will

confer on the timing of the evaluations in this regard.
