Re:      In the Matter of the Residential Real Estate Salesperson License Application of Bruce J. Carlson; OAH Docket No. 11-1005-20114-2

 

Dear Mr. Carlson and Mr. Kaisershot:

 

This letter will confirm our discussions during the telephone prehearing conference held on March 19, 2009, and constitutes the First Prehearing Order in this contested case proceeding.  Mr. Kaisershot appeared on behalf of the Department of Commerce.  Mr. Carlson appeared on his own behalf. 

 

As we discussed during the telephone conference call, the following schedule will govern this case:

 

1.         All discovery in this matter shall be completed by May 1, 2009.

 

2.         By June 2, 2009, the parties shall exchange proposed exhibit and witness lists.  The witness lists shall include a brief summary of the expected testimony of each witness.  If any documents identified as exhibits have not yet been exchanged, copies shall be provided with the exhibit lists.

 

3.         Pursuant to Minn. Rules 1400.6950, subpart 2, any party objecting to the foundation for any written exhibit proposed by a party must notify both the offering party and the Administrative Law Judge in writing at least two working days before the hearing, or the objection is waived.

 

4.         The hearing in this matter shall be held on June 16, 2009, commencing at 9:30 a.m. in the courtrooms of the Office of Administrative Hearings, which are located on the first floor of the Stassen Building, 600 North Robert Street, St. Paul.  The hearing

will be digitally recorded unless the parties notify the Administrative Law Judge at least one week in advance of the hearing that they require the services of a court reporter at the hearing.

 

5.         The parties shall appear at the hearing with at least three copies of each document they plan to offer into evidence. 

 

Mr. Carlson indicated during the prehearing conference that he may be interested in retaining an attorney to represent him in this proceeding.  He is reminded that he should proceed to do so in an expeditious fashion in order to ensure that we adhere to the schedule set forth above.  If he retains an attorney, he should have the attorney file a notice of appearance and serve it on the Department of Commerce as soon as possible. 

 

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you believe that an additional prehearing conference or telephone conference call would be helpful.

 

                                                                        Sincerely,

 

 

                                                                        s/Barbara L. Neilson
