Our File No. 3787
Dear Mr. Rosengarten:
I have reviewed the discovery obtained to date in the above matter and believe that plaintiff
John Cady has not identified any exposure to any asbestos containing products of defendant Lennox
Industries Inc. I would appreciate your advising me of the source of the plaintiffs product
identification as to this defendant.
In the event there is no product identification for this defendant, I have attached a no
opposition summary judgment motion and order and ask that you sign at the place indicated and
return to the undersigned.
I understand that, pursuant to the discovery and trial submission schedule, you are not
required to respond to product identification requests until July 12, 2022.
Very truly yours,
SMITH, MURPHY & SCHOEPPERLE, LLP
