1754

TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS - VOLUME IX 1 JUDGE CLIFTON: Now I'd like those who may not be aligned

2 with a particular proposal, but either have been or will be

3 participating to identify themselves, please.

4 MR. MILTNER: Good morning, Ryan Miltner, M-I-L-T-N-E-R,

5 counsel for Select Milk Producers, Inc.

6 JUDGE CLIFTON: And I know of two people testifying, they

7 were identified yesterday. Is there anyone else here who would

8 like to testify today? All right. I see no one identifying

9 himself at this time, but we'll ask again later.

10 I would like now to address some preliminary matters.

11 As you know, next week we return to the Liberty Room

12 and we'll have a normal Monday through Friday schedule, except

13 Friday. On Friday we'll stop early Friday. Is the 9th of

14 October 2015. We will go off record no later than 12 noon on

15 October 9th. When we leave the Liberty Room on October 9th, we

16 will not resume the hearing until the 14th of October, at 9:00

17 in the morning, that's a Wednesday. That week will be a

18 three-day week -- Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, all in the

19 Liberty Room. My other preliminary announcement is with regard

20 to exhibits.

21 If I have rejected an exhibit, it goes onto the website

22 in the same timely fashion as if I had accepted it. And if I

23 have rejected an exhibit -- I have only done one so far -- I

24 expect that rejection to be temporary, I'm just waiting for

25 some additional foundation so that I understand the document.

1755

TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS - VOLUME IX 1 I don't have any quarrel with its authenticity, but I find that

2 its relevance will be more clear to all of us if we have some

3 more testimony about it, so that's the reason I rejected it.

4 Mr. English?

5 MR. ENGLISH: Chip English. And just for clarity, as we're

6 discussing these kinds of things, your Honor, there is also one

7 exhibit, Number 30, that I never offered, therefore, you didn't

8 have the opportunity to reject it, and so I assume it will be

9 similarly going up since it's sort of shown up. But I -- it

10 doesn't matter to me, I just thought the record could be clear

11 about what's happening to it, and we did not offer it yet

12 because we did not have a witness who recognized it. That was

13 the Chicago economist power point presentation that Mr. Hollon

14 did not recognize.

15 JUDGE CLIFTON: Let's decide what we think about that. I

16 was thinking that things would go on the website when they have

17 either been accepted or rejected, not when they have been

18 identified, but I'm flexible on that.

19 MR. ENGLISH: And I'm indifferent. I just didn't want it

20 to be -- I'm fine with not doing that, the only question it

21 seems to me that if you are looking at the website and you see

22 sequentially, and then you see a number 30, and there's -- or

23 you don't see a 30, you will see 29, 31, there might be some

24 mystery for those who aren't attending. But I don't have a few

25 other than that.

1756

TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS - VOLUME IX 1 JUDGE CLIFTON: But another view that I just thought of,

2 and hadn't thought of before, is that people who can see the

3 transcript and see references to that exhibit, will want to

4 look at it. I would. So I think you are right, I think our

5 best course is to put them all on the website if they have been

6 identified and have been referred to in the transcript. So

7 I'll see what other people think about that.

8 MR. BESHORE: Marvin Beshore. The only concern I would

9 have would be that the website also reflect whether they have

10 been accepted or rejected or what their status is, so that way

11 when somebody's looking at it they know what's going on.

12 MR. ENGLISH: I think that's entirely fair and if I could

13 identify, not offer, or whatever -- whatever makes sense, I

14 think that that obviously clarity, I have no disagreement with

15 counsel for cooperatives. Clarity in the record should be

16 there. So listing it shouldn't, somebody shouldn't be misled

17 into thinking it has been admitted, so we need to designate it

18 in some way as not yet offered or something.

19 MR. VETNE: John Vetne. I agree with all the exhibits that

20 have been identified ought to be on the website. It may be --

21 it may be difficult, logistically difficult or tedious to

22 indicate for each exhibit what's been offered or accepted. I

23 suggest an easier alternative is simply in the caption of the

24 exhibits, these are the exhibits that have been offered, and

25 some may not have been received, or something like that, so

1757

TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS - VOLUME IX 1 that the reader knows that just because you see an exhibit, it

2 may or may not have been accepted as in evidence. Thank you.

3 JUDGE CLIFTON: I don't want to make it more difficult for

4 the posting on the website, so I'm going to leave that part

5 entirely up to AMS and its coordination with the part of USDA

6 that puts these things on the website, however it's most

7 convenient for you is fine. If it ends up most convenient is

8 just the exhibits are there, all 30 of them or whatever, no

9 explanation, that's fine with me. People can see them if they

10 are -- if they are not reading the transcript and don't know

11 the status of them, I don't think any real harm is done. If

12 they get to the point they are writing the briefs, of course,

13 they should find out which ones are in evidence and which ones

14 are not, but by then it could be that they are all in evidence

15 for all I know.

16 If in coordination with the part of USDA that puts them

17 on the website, you decide you do want to categorize them, then

18 I would say there are three categories; one is accepted, one is

19 rejected, and one is identified. All right.

20 Now, let's continue on with preliminary matters. And

21 at this time I would recognize someone from USDA to identify

22 all preliminary matters.
