IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
JONESBORO DIVISION

SCOTT HAUKEREID, individually and as
Personal Representative and Administrator
of the Estate of Andrew Haukereid Jr., deceased

v.

PLAINTIFF

No. 3:13-cv-92-DPM

NATIONAL PASSENGER RAILROAD
CORPORATION, dfb/a AMTRAK

DEFENDANT

ORDER
Motion to clarify, NQ 31, granted. The Court's Order, Ng 30, accurately
reflects the Court's final ruling at the hearing. The Court and counsel
discussed a more-targeted production and Amtrak's preference. But driven
by the difficulties of winnowing based on passengers' mental state, and
wanting to impose a reasonable limitation on the kind and number of records
produced, the Court concluded that a one-report production for each falling
passenger was appropriate. Thereafter, Haukereid must make a preliminary
showing of substantial similarity to get any more Amtrak materials about a
particular fall. Ruling clarified and confirmed.

So Ordered.

D.P. Marshall Jr.
United States District Judge
