         6               COURT IN THE PRESENCE OF THE JURY:)

         7                           THE COURT:  BEFORE I ENTERTAIN

         8               ANY MOTION, I THINK MR. KURITZ HAS AN

         9               ABSOLUTE RIGHT TO MOVE HIS EXHIBITS.

        10                           MR. KURITZ:  THANK YOU.  THE

        11               FIRST THING I'D LIKE TO DO JUST FOR THE

        12               RECORD WITH COUNSEL'S AGREEMENT IS MARK THE

        13               ORIGINAL NAZARETH E.R. CHART WHICH HAS BEEN

        14               HERE AND USED THROUGHOUT THE TRIAL AS P-34.

        15                           THE COURT:  I THINK IT GOES

        16               WITHOUT SAYING.

        17                           MR. KURITZ:  THAT HASN'T BEEN

        18               MARKED YET.

        19                           THE COURT:  OKAY.  I INCLUDED

        20               IT IN YOUR ONE TO THREE ANYWAY.  NAZARETH

        21               CHART OBVIOUSLY, THAT WOULD BE 34.  WHAT IS

        22               33?

        23                           MR. KURITZ:  P-33 IS THE BLOWUP

        24               OF THE CURRENT PAY SCALE.
 
                                                                             5

         2                     34 WOULD BE THE NAZARETH RECORD OR

         3               CHART.  YOU MAY PROCEED.
