	Coyote V. Acme

	IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT,
	SOUTHWESTERN DISTRICT, TEMPE, ARIZONA
	CASE NO. B19294, JUDGE JOAN KUJAVA, PRESIDING
	Wile E. Coyote, Plaintiff
	-v.-
	Acme Company, Defendant
	Opening Statement of Mr. Harold Schoff, attorney for Mr. 	
	Coyote:

	My client, Mr. Wile E. Coyote, a resident of Arizona and
	contiguous states, does hereby bring suit for damages against
	the Acme Company, manufacturer and retail distributor of
	assorted merchandise, incorporated in Delaware and doing
	business in every state, district, and territory. Mr. Coyote seeks
	compensation for personal injuries, loss of business income,
	and mental suffering causes as a direct result of the actions
	and/or gross negligence of said company, under Title 15 of the
	United States Code, Chapter 47, section 2072, subsection (a),
	relating to product liability.


	Mr. Coyote states that on eighty-five separate occasions he has
	purchased of the Acme Company (hereinafter, "Defendant"),
	through that company's mail-order department, certain products
	which did cause him bodily injury due to defects in manufacture
	or improper cautionary labelling. Sales slips made out to Mr.
	Coyote as proof of purchase are at present in the possession of
	the Court, marked Exhibit A. Such injuries sustained by Mr.
	Coyote have temporarily restricted his ability to make a living in
	his profession of predator. Mr. Coyote is self-employed and thus
	not eligible for Workmen's Compensation. . .
