      1                  MR. FTFNER:        Today is March  9.  By

      2        letter dated February 16, 1993 from Rob  Warner  to

      3        all counsel, this deposition  was  scheduled  for

      4        today at 3:30.  February 16 is  the  date  of  the

      5        1 e t t e r .

      6             All counsel are here and  present,  ready  and

      7        prepared to go forward with  the  deposition,  with

      8        the exception of Tom Terry.  Tom has filed a

      9        motion with the Court to exclude the  testimony  of

      10       Dr. David some two and a half months after

      11       Dr. David's rcport has been  in  his  possession.

      12            Richard, correct me if I  am  wrong,  but  I

      13       know that at or about the time  of  the  deadline

      14       for production of experts you and I had a talk,

      15       at which time I told you who my expert was,

      16       essentially the substance of his testimony, and

      17       you and T had an understanding  that  the  report

      18       was going to he late.

      19                 MR. BERRTS:        That's  correct.   I

      20       had no problem with you  taking  some  additional

      21       time to produce your expert report.

      22            T also had no problem  allowing  Beth  Sebaugh

      23       additional time to  produce  her  expert  report.  I

      24       think, if you will look,  her  expert  report  is

      25       dated January something, which is  also  after  the

                        Diane M.
