RE: Cromartie Pretrial Order

Dear Doug and Robinson:

Attached is our rough list of exhibits for the pretrial order. With your list in hand and the
delay of trial, we likely will be doing some revisions. We have already deleted deposition
exhibits that duplicate your designation of deposition exhibits. Our witness list has not changed,
except of course that we are adding Leslie Winner. With respect to various maps that we have
listed, the reference to “Data” is to the five basic statistical reports: deviation, total population,
VAP, registration, and elections.

We note that your lists are not formatted in a pretrial order format and do not contain a
column for objections. It would be helpful if your next version of the various lists is in the proper
format. With the delay of trial, we do not anticipate maintaining Monday’s deadline for
requesting copies of exhibits that are new or unknown to the other parties; nor do we see the need
to have the pretrial order ready by Friday. We do agree, however, that it is important to continue
to move forward in the preparation of the pretrial order and would like to come to agreement on a
revised schedule. :

Sincerely,

ice BMA
Tiare B. Smiley
