Dear Counsel:
Pursuant to our conversation on September 12, 2018, attached please find a No Opposition Summary Judgment
Motion on behalf of Ford Motor Company in the above referenced matter. As you are aware, plaintiff failed to

the Case Management Order, if you are unwilling to sign the attached document, inform me of the basis of
plaintiff s claim or claims against my client individually, in writing, with a copy to the Special Master, within 10
