AC and §, Ine., ct al. SFSC Case No.: 443236 Your Client: IMO Industries, Inc., formerly known as IMO DeLayal Turbine, Inc. Dear Mr. Gatt: ‘Thank you for discussing producing your client’s Person Most Knowledgeable and Custodian of Records on plaintiffs’ notice in the above-captioned matter. As | understand it, you will be seeking potential dates for said deposition so that it can occur by the end of August. Plaimtifls obviously request the soonest available date and we are amenable to discussing out of state locations, but we cannot promise that we can accommodate any such requests. 1am hopeful that we can resolve this matter without court intervention and to that end I will contact you later this week again. If we are unable to find agreeable terms in the immediate future, then plaintiffs will be filing a motion to compel on shortened time considering the pending trial date of this matter. Thank you again for your anticipated cooperation and assistance with this matter. With kind regards, isi Stephen Fishback 28720 ROADSIDE DRIVE, SUITE 201~ AGOURA HILLS, CALIFORNIA 91301 PH: 818.879.8033 Fax! 818.292.8891 WWW.KFULEGAL.COM
