With respect to your interrogatories you sent, the only thing I am going to
be presenting is the property damage claim. It seems answering the
interrogatories is fruitless as they deal almost entirely with personal injury.
If you are agreeable, I will provide you with the repair estimates
with respect to the damage to the vehicle, which is the only exhibit I will be

I am writing with regard to the above-referenced lawsuit. In December 2005, and again in January
2006, I provided you with a Stipulation dropping that portion of your client's Complaint that deals with personal
injuries, wage loss, and medical expenses. To date, I have not yet received the executed Stipulation, nor have
you contacted me to discuss the aforementioned allegations.
I also have made several requests to get this case listed for Arbitration. Again, I have not heard back
from you regarding this issue.
Please contact me at your earliest convenience and inform me if your client wishes to discontinue this
case. Your prompt attention and cooperation is appreciated.
