PLAINTIFF SCOTT JOHNSON AND DEFENDANTS JOE CHARLES CRIVELLO SR,
SUSAN M CRIVELLO, AND CRIVELLO & DI SALVO, INC., BY AND THROUGH THEIR
ATTORNEYS OF RECORD, HEREBY STIPULATE:
16
WHEREAS Plaintiff has propounded written discovery to assist him in determining the
17
ability of the Stipulating Defendants to undergo “readily achievable” barrier removal and to support
18
Plaintiff’s damages assessment; and
14
19
WHEREAS such discovery information is of a personal and confidential nature and,

therefore, the Stipulating Defendants have a legitimate concern about unnecessarily producing such
21
information;
22
The Plaintiff and the Stipulating Defendants enter into the following stipulation:
23
24
25
Plaintiff: Plaintiff will currently forbear from propounding any discovery that seeks information
26
concerning the financial status, ability, or wherewithal of the Stipulating Defendants. Plaintiff also
27
withdraws all discovery already propounded concerning this information, including but not limited to:
28
Interrogatories, Set One, nos. 4, 13, and 14 and Requests for Production of Documents, Set One, nos.
Joint Stipulation and Order
-2-
Case No.: 2:14-CV-01692-JAM-AC
1
8, 13, and 14.
2
3
Stipulating Defendants: The Stipulating Defendants hereby declare that in determining whether the
4
removal of a BARRIER is READILY ACHIEVABLE, factors such as the (1) Stipulating Defendant’s
5
financial resources; (2) the facility’s financial resources; (3) the “effect on expenses and resources”;
6
and (4) impact on finances, shall NOT be raised by STIPULATING DEFENDANTS as a defense as
7
to why the Stipulating Defendant cannot remedy and/or remove those alleged BARRIERS.
8
Defendants further stipulate to respond fully to all discovery requests not concerning the financial
9
status, ability, or wherewithal of the Stipulating Defendants within 14 days of the Court’s Order.
10
11
NOTE: Stipulating Defendants are not stipulating (A) liability to the Plaintiff; (B) that the above
12
identified barrier removals are required by law; (C) that the above referenced barriers exist; or (D) that
13
they are subject to the ADA or related state disability access laws.
14
15
NOTE: The parties understand that the Plaintiff reserves his right to seek financial information in
16
support of a claim for punitive damages. However, Plaintiff will forbear from seeking that information
17
until Plaintiff believes that further discovery information warrants the prosecution of a punitive
18
damages claim against the Stipulating Defendants. Even if Plaintiff reaches a decision that a punitive
19
damages claim should be prosecuted, Plaintiff will, nonetheless, wait until the end of the discovery
20
window to request such information so as to allow maximum opportunity for resolution of the case.
21

23
IT IS SO STIPULATED.
