Re: Pretrial Order Exhibit List and Numbering 

Dear Robinson and Doug: 

There are several exhibits we need copies of as soon as possible, as well as other exhibits we 

need to see to verify we are talking about the same map or document. In addition, even after 

removing the duplications you have got too many maps to fit within the 100 range of numbers. 

Because we want to start numbering and copying our exhibits we would propose the following new 

allocation of numbers: 

1-99 

100-299 

300-399 

400-499 

500-599 

Deposition Exhibits 

Stipulated Maps and Data 

Plaintiffs’ Exhibits 

Defendants’ Exhibits 

Defendant-Intervenors’ Exhibits 

This numbering should work even if several groups of maps end up moving from the stipulated 

exhibits to plaintiffs’ exhibits. Intervenors agree with this proposal. We would like a response on 

the numbering issue today if possible.

This list was put together rather hastily, so there may be other exhibits for which we need 

copies. In addition, at some point we probably would like to verify all the exhibits, especially maps, 

to assure we have exact copies. It is likely that defendant-intervenors will need copies of all of your 

exhibits, but you can work that out with them. 

Sincerely,
