resources; (2) the facility’s financial resources; (3) the “effect on expenses and

STIPULATING DEFENDANTS as a defense as to why the Stipulating
Defendant cannot remedy and/or remove those alleged BARRIERS.
NOTE: Stipulating Defendants are not stipulating (A) liability to the

NOTE: The parties understand that the Plaintiff reserves her right to seek
financial information in support of a claim for punitive damages. However,
Plaintiff will forbear from seeking that information until Plaintiff believes that
further discovery information warrants the prosecution of a punitive damages
claim against the Stipulating Defendants. Even if Plaintiff reaches a decision
that a punitive damages claim should be prosecuted, Plaintiff will,
nonetheless, wait until the end of the discovery window to request such
information so as to allow maximum opportunity for resolution of the case.
Id. at 2–3.
The Court GRANTS the joint motion for entry of the parties’ Joint Stipulation on
Fact Regarding Defendants’ Wherewithal and Discovery Responses.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
