Statements.
Plaintiff believes that sharing in advance much of Plaintiff's views concerning the facts, the

3

legal analysis of Plaintiff's claims, and potential verdicts if the case is not resolved, will make the

4

mediation session more productive. Defendant will have a better picture of Plaintiff's position, which

5

will make the ENE session more efficient.

6
7

Plaintiff's counsel regularly shares mediation statements with opposing counsel wherever
possible, and believes that it is useful.

8

WHEREFORE, the Plaintiff requests that the Court grant Plaintiff leave to share his ENE

9

Statement with counsel for Defendant. Plaintiff does not request or require that Defendant share its

10

ENE Statement with Plaintiff, although Plaintiff does not oppose receiving it.
