 Additionally, Plaintiff requests the continuance to allow time for the parties to focus on the 

potential resolution of the action. This is the fourth and final personal injury related action filed 

against Defendant arising out of the subject motor vehicle accident. Assistant United States 

Attorney Chi Soo Kim has represented Defendant in all four matters, and has resolved the other 

three matters without protracted litigation. One of these matters involved Plaintiff’s workers’ 

compensation reimbursement claim arising out of injuries sustained to a different passenger 

involved in the accident (from the passenger at issue in the subject action). 

 The workers’ compensation claim involved in the current action is ongoing, but should 

resolve in the near future, which will give finality to Plaintiff’s damages, assisting in the potential 

for resolution. The current action was filed to protect the statute of limitations. Plaintiff requests a 

90 day continuance in part to see if the matter can be resolved without further court involvement.
