MR. HARRINGTON:

Your Honor, we may be

staging some witnesses down in the U.S. Attorney's

Office on the third floor.

THE COURT:

I assume that that's okay.

That's fine.

You stage them

wherever you want as long as you can get them within

relative speed.

MR. HARRINGTON:

Very good.

Thank you, Your

Honor.
THE COURT:

All right.

My impression is

10

that both of you probably would invoke Rule 615 if

11

given the opportunity, but is at least one of you

12

going to be invoking it?

13

invokes it first?

MR. HARRINGTON:

Do either of you care who

The United States will be

invoking it, Your Honor.

16

THE COURT:

17

MR. REED:

18

THE COURT:

All right.
Plaintiff invokes it as well.
And so, just to be clear, under

19

615, Mr. Dobyns, obviously can stay in the courtroom

20

under that rule.

21

Harrington, that is going to play some role with

22

respect to a person whose presence -- or in your case,

23

an officer of a party being designated essentially as

24

a representative?

25

Is there a particular person, Mr.

We don't have

Okay.

All right, so

615 is invoked.

Let me just explain a few more

aspects of what that means.

a couple of things so one again it means that you need

to police the courtroom.

All right, so that means

Two, so make sure, for

10

example, that if you do stage a witness in one of

11

these back rooms here and all of a sudden you hear the

12

door open and somebody strolling in, somebody should

13

be turning around and making sure because I'm not

14

going to know whether that person is appropriate in

15

the courtroom or not -- only you are.

16

Second thing is is once a witness has taken

17

the stand, that's it for counsel having contact with

18

them in terms of further types of preparation or the

19

like.

20

rule, the way that rule has been interpreted, that

21

means no further preparation of that witness.

22

we break over night or break over lunch or the like,

23

you cannot have further conversations, Counsel cannot

24

have further conversations with that witness.

Understood, Mr. Reed?

So once a witness takes the stand, under the
