OF CD�D� H GALE A.NORTON STATE OF COLORADO STATE SERVICES BUILDING Attorney General 1525 Sherman Street-5th Floor MARTHA PHILLIPS ALLBRIGHT DEPARTMENT OF LAW Denver,Colorado 80203 PhonChief Deputy Attorney General FAX 803�03 866 56901 OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL RICHARD A.WESTFALL Solicitor General March 4, 1998 MEMORANDUM TO: Mike Long Dave Bucknam Jim McArdle Steven Renner n FROM: Cheryl A. Linden RE: Trial Schedule in Mid-Continent Case I had a conference call with Judge Craven this morning. He has set the Mid-Continent case for trial for six days from August 7-14, 1998. The trial will be held in Glenwood Springs, and not in Aspen. Apparently, Aspen has limited facilities and 3 or 4 judges compete for courtroom space. The trial will be to the court rather than a jury trial. You will need to be available prior to trial in order to prepare for the trial, and to be available during the entire week of the trial since you may be called as a witness. Judge Craven set a pre-trial schedule as well. This includes completion of discovery by June 1. (1 sent Mike and Steve a document setting forth the discovery schedule. One is also attached to this memo). The completion of discovery entails serving or responding to additional interrogatories, conducting depositions and submitting a final list of witnesses to be called at trial and exhibits to be used at trial. After discovery is complete,the parties are required to file with the court a Trial Management Order by June 26; exchange all exhibits with opposing counsel on or before July 10; file all objections to exhibits on or before July 17 or such objections will have been waived; and prepare 3 sets of exhibit books for the court, opposing counsel and witnesses. The parties are required to deliver all exhibits marked as they will be used at trial to the court reporter by August 6.
