June 30, 2006 VIA FACSIMILE VIA REGULAR MAIL Maureen S. Dinnan, Esq. Neubert, Pepe & Monteith 195 Church Street New Haven, CT 23067 RE: GUIGLIANO v. DANBURY HOSPITAL, ET AL. 302 CV 718 (RNC)(DFM)

Dear Counsel: This acknowledges receipt in today's mail of correspondence from you, dated June 28, 2006, in which you refuse to produce the defendant hospital's expert, Dr. Michael B. Teiger, for a continued deposition. Your assertion that the plaintiff has examined Dr. Teiger for seven (7) hours is clearly erroneous. Thus, your reliance on Fed. R. Civ. P. 30 (d) to prevent further questioning and obstruct proper discovery is inappropriate. Moreover, Ms. Hunt's questions and Dr. Teiger's responses raise new issues which entitle the plaintiff to follow up questions in order to obtain a fair examination of the deponent. Kindly provide us with prospective dates for a continued deposition of Dr. Teiger so that plaintiff can have a fair examination of this expert witness under Fed. R. Civ. P. 26 (b) (4) (A) ­ (B) and Fed. R. Civ. P. 30 (d)(2) ­ (3). If we do not receive appropriate prospective dates for the continued deposition of this expert witness to be held in July by Wednesday, July 5, 2006, we will have no choice but to file a motion with the Court for an order compelling this discovery and requesting sanctions, costs and fees against your office pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 30 (d) (3).

Very truly yours:

Joseph Lanni
