as to exactly why she wants it. Further, Ms. Muckler must describe, specifically, just how any of
the information she requests is relevant to the central inquiry underlying Plaintiff’s sole remaining
claim in this case: Whether toll revenue from Interstate Transportation Network (“ITN”) facilities

remained after accounting for ITN expenditures during the period in question, such that leftover
toll revenues would have been available for purposes other than expenditure on ITN facilities.
Accordingly, it is hereby
ORDERED that Plaintiff must file Ms. Muckler’s letter with the Court on or before
