Mon 1 Dec 2025 11 15 31 0500 Re Fw Sweatman V. Zeeman Judge S Order Approving Settlemen 19Adab2A 2¶

Hi Brett,

Thank you for the message.

*I have not received any communication from you for approximately four
months*, so your email sent after 6:00 p.m. on the eve of Thanksgiving was
unexpected—particularly the reference to an alleged threat by opposing
counsel to file a motion against me, which is the first time I am hearing
of this assertion.

Please provide the written documentation of any such threat, including the
date it was made and a copy of the communication in which it was conveyed.

My settlement response edits to the opposing party was sent to opposing
counsel around approximately June 23, 2025, and I never got an update on
those from you since then.

Please provide:

• The date you received a response from opposing counsel relating to my
settlement response edits.
• A copy of the actual written correspondence of their response to my
settlement response edits.
• All communications you received from the City, opposing counsel, and the
expeditor over the last 4 months prior to your email on Thanksgiving eve
night after 6 pm.

I look forward to reviewing the complete documentation and responses.

Regards,
Sarah
