R.C.P. 1029(e).
5. After reasonable investigation, Defendant is without knowledge or information
sufficient to form a belief as to the truth of the allegations in paragraph 5 of the Complaint
pertaining to Officer McAndrew's contact with Plaintiff. Therefore, they are denied and strict

sufficient to form a belief as to the truth of the allegations in paragraph 8 of the Complaint.
Therefore, they are denied and strict proof is demanded.
