to Restrict; granting 171 Motion for Leave to Restrict; granting 182 Motion for Leave
to Restrict; granting 183 Motion for Leave to Restrict. Plaintiff has filed motions to
restrict at ECF 143, 144, 145, 146, 147, 168, 169, 170, 171, 182, and 183. Defendants
filed a response to ECF 143−147, and I assign their opposition to the remaining
motions as well. I agree generally with Defendants' premise that as this case draws
closer to trial, especially considering that Plaintiff is a municipality, the presumption
against restriction gets much stronger. Indeed, if this case proceeds to the pretrial
stage (i.e., close to trial) with no compromise resolution likely, I invite Defendants to
file a motion to unrestrict all documents, which I would likely grant if referred to me.
Also, as a general matter, I view documents generated solely because of a lawsuit
(e.g., expert/damages reports, deposition testimony) and while the case is in intense
discovery, to have less of a public interest. Other documents that were created outside
of the lawsuit may have more of a public interest in disclosure, yet I still believe in
protecting litigants' self−expressed need of confidentiality when appropriate. As with
prior orders in this case (to which the parties' consented) restricting certain filings, I

10/04/2023 260 MINUTE ORDER: During the Trial Preparation Conference held September 29,
2023, the Court took under advisement Plaintiff's request to compel Defendant's Rule
30(b)(6) witnesses to testify at trial during Plaintiff's case−in−chief. Having
considered such request, it is DENIED. Rule 30(b)(6) governs discovery procedures
only and does not purport to address, nor compel, trial testimony. The duties of a
Rule 30(b)(6) witness do not extend beyond discovery and such witness cannot be
compelled to testify at trial absent a subpoena. See, e.g., Bell v. Boeing Co., No.
20−cv−1716, 2022 WL 1607935, at *5 (W.D. Wash May 20, 2022). Plaintiff did not
issue trial subpoenas to these witnesses. Plaintiff may, however, designate portions of
the respective Rule 30(b)(6) witnesses' deposition to be read during its case. Should it
choose to do so, the deposition designations and objections of both parties must be
filed on or before October 13, 2023. By Judge Charlotte N. Sweeney on 10/4/2023.

10/06/2023 261 STATEMENT of Deposition Designations and Objections−Joint by Plaintiff City of
Fort Collins. (Attachments: # 1 Ex. A − Designations of D. Bishop, # 2 Ex. B −
Designations of E. Mercado)(Wechter, Andrea) (Entered: 10/06/2023)
10/06/2023 262 MINUTE ORDER: The Court has reviewed the parties' competing emails to
Chambers over the last few days regarding Open's Rule 30(b)(6) witnesses. First, the
Court reminds counsel that the invitation extended at the September 29, 2023 trial
preparation conference to email Chambers was limited to inquiries about minor
issues seeking clarification only. Plaintiff's counsel has elected to essentially file a
motion for clarification and/or reconsideration via email which is inappropriate.
Counsel is cautioned against future similar conduct. Second, the Court is quite
familiar with the meaning of "will call" witnesses and the notion that such a
designation binds the party to produce that witness at trial. A party's designation of a
witness as a "will call" witness, however, does not obligate that party to produce that
witness at the time demanded by the other party. Thus, that Open has designated
three of its Rule 30(b)(6) witnesses as will call does not require Open to produce
them during the City's case−in−chief as demanded by the City. As has been
explained, Open will call those witnesses during the second week of trial. Should the
City wish to call those witnesses during week one, it shall do so via deposition
designation. If Open believes cross−designations are appropriate to that testimony, it
shall make them as well. Regardless, Open can, and presumably will, call those
witnesses during the second week of trial and will conduct direct examinations.
Should the City wish to defer calling those witnesses via deposition and conduct its
examination during the second week when called by Open, it may do so. The Court
has already indicated that it will not entertain a Rule 50 motion from Open until those
witnesses have testified. No further clarification will be offered on this issue. Finally,
the Court reminds the parties that it expects its rulings to be followed without
additional argument and assume counsel will conduct themselves accordingly during
the trial. By Judge Charlotte N. Sweeney on 10/6/2023. Text Only Entry (cnsja. )
