2. Plaintiff MANUEL DELGADO hereby stipulates that he will not make any 

argument or present any evidence at trial regarding any alleged Cumulative 

Trauma Disorder suffered as a result of his employment with Defendant BNSF 

as he is hereby dismissing this claim with prejudice. However, Plaintiff reserves 

the right to present evidence of earlier injuries to his knees to support a “preexisting condition” or “unusually susceptible” to reinjury argument and jury 

instruction. Plaintiff agrees that neither the argument of “cumulative trauma” 

nor a claim of “cumulative trauma” will be made or advanced by Plaintiff. 

3. Defendant BNSF reserves the right to argue that Plaintiff is not an “eggshell 

plaintiff”. 

4. Defendant BNSF is not moving to dispose of the cumulative trauma claim via 

a motion for summary judgment based on this stipulation. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
