Mr. Horn was severely mauled in a tiger attack during his 5 Las Vegas show in 2003. Putnam Decl. ¶ 2. The 380-pound Bengal tiger bit into Mr. Horn’s 6 neck and head, crushed his windpipe, damaged an artery carrying oxygen to his brain, and left 7 him partially paralyzed. Id. Subsequent to that accident, Mr. Horn suffered a series of 8 debilitating strokes. Id. at ¶ 3. Due to these afflictions, Mr. Horn is in constant pain and has 9 enormous difficulty speaking, walking, and performing other basic human functions. Id. He 10 requires daily treatment and therapy for these health problems. Id. Accordingly, defendants 11 respectfully request that this Court excuse Mr. Horn from participation in the Early Neutral 12 Evaluation session. 13 Granting defendants’ request would not reduce the effectiveness of the ENE session. 14 Randal O’Connor will attend the ENE session as defendant S&R Production Company’s 15 representative. Mr. O’Connor will also have the authority to settle this matter on Mr. Horn’s 16 behalf. Furthermore, in the event that this Court would need an answer from Mr. Horn 17 specifically, Mr. O’Connor could reach him via telephone during the conference. 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Case 2:10-cv-01795-RLH-RJJ Document 28 1 Filed 01/24/11 Page 4 of 4 Dated: January 24, 2011 Respectfully submitted, 2 /s/: John T.
