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. . .
