Sweeney Case No. 21-cv-02063-CNS-SBP Date: September 22, 2023 Case Title: City of Fort Collins v.

These estimates, however, may change based on resolution of whether Open will go beyond the scope of direct and present each witness once, as set forth in footnote 3, below. The City reserves the right to revise its witness list as necessary. 2 Due to Mr. Keane living out-of-state and not having been employed by the City for over two years, the City has requested his testimony to be via remote means, as further submitted in its Motion at Docket No. 248. 3 Related to footnote 1, above, the City intends to call Mr. Parrott, Mr. Juan Corredor, and Mr. Diego Lopez (and may also call Mr. William Corredor)—all of whom are Open’s Rule 30(b)(6) corporate representatives and listed as “will calls” who “will be present at trial” by Open—during its case-in-chief. The City indicated to Open that it would consent to Open exceeding the scope of the City’s direct examination so that each witness need only be called once. Open, however, has taken the position that it will not make its witnesses available live during the City’s presentation (except for Mr. William Corredor who the City understands will be the corporate representative). Instead, Open has indicated that it intends to make them available only in its case-in-chief, and that the City can only question the witnesses after Open. If the City does not agree, Open contends that the City must resort to presenting those witnesses via depositions during the City’s case, while Open will present them live and in-person during its case. The parties intend to raise this matter further in trial briefs due on September 27, 2023. 4 Due to Dr. Frey’s medical condition and living out -of-state, the parties have agreed to have her appear remotely, subject to the Court’s discretion.
