RE: SHEFF v. O'NEILL/LOST DISKETTE, ROBERT CRAIN STUDY 
RE  - I I I ET I TT LP II IH 
  

Dear Marianne: 

On July 16, 1992 I copied you on letter to Phil Tegeler and 
Martha Stone in which I explained that the diskette containing 
the data used by Dr. Robert Crain in his studies was missing. I 
asked that we be provided with another copy of the diskette. By 
a letter dated July 21, 1992, Phil Tegeler advised me that you 

would be in touch with me regarding the diskette. As of this 
writing, I have not heard from you nor has Dr. Armour received 

another copy of the diskette. 

our search for the original diskette has not been 
successful. We can only speculate it was erroneously discarded. 

Obviously, we are in need of your cooperation in securing another 

COpY. 

The delay in the analysis of the data on the diskette caused 

by our having lost the item will mean that Dr. Armour will not be 

able to address questions relating to his review of the data 

during his upcoming deposition. Unless the plaintiffs wish to 

forego the opportunity to question Dr. Armour on these matters 

prior to trial, another date for his deposition will need to be 

set. This date would have to be set in consideration of the 
amount of time it will take Dr. Armour to develop an 
understanding of the data file, decide upon appropriate analyses, 

and conduct such analyses. 

Your cooperation in providing us with another copy of the 

diskette is absolutely essential to the timely completion of the 

work that needs to be done before the trial.

1f, for some reason, the plaintiffs have decided not to 

provide us with another copy of this diskette, please let me know 

right away. At. that point 1.will be forced to bring ‘this matter 

to the attention of the court and secure a resolution of whatever 

issues need to be decided in order to obtain the diskette. Of 
course, this will further delay necessary trial preparations. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Very truly yours,
