Re:     In the Matter of the Contested Case Appeal of New Options;

OAH Docket No. 11-1800-21339-2

 

Dear Counsel:

 

This letter will confirm our discussions during the prehearing conference held by telephone in the above matter on July 14, 2010, and constitutes the First Prehearing Order in this contested case proceeding. 

 

The following schedule will govern this matter:

 

1.               By August 31, 2010, the parties shall exchange proposed exhibit and witness lists relating to this case.  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.  Exhibits shall be premarked by the parties using numbers rather than letters.

 

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

4.               The hearing shall be digitally recorded unless the parties notify the Administrative Law Judge in advance of the hearing that they will require the services of a court reporter. 

 

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