Stow has racked up $4.3 million in medical bills so far and will need more than $50 million according to court papers filed Friday.

A trial-setting conference is scheduled for June 29.
In a related criminal action, Louie Sanchez and Marvin Norwood were ordered to stand trial for the beating of Stow.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge George Lomeli found sufficient evidence to require Sanchez, 30, and Norwood, 31, both of Rialto, to proceed to trial on one felony count each of mayhem, assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury and battery with serious bodily injury.
The judge also found enough evidence involving an allegation that Sanchez had personally inflicted great bodily injury against Stow, then 42, but ruled there was insufficient evidence that Norwood had.
Both men remain jailed and are due back at the downtown Los Angeles courthouse for arraignment Friday.
