IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF FEDERAL CLAIMS __________________________________________ ) NORTHEAST SAVINGS, F.A. ) ) Plaintiff, ) ) v. ) Civil Action No. 92-550C ) Judge Williams UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ) ) Defendant. ) __________________________________________) JOINT STIPULATION REGARDING ADMISSIBILITY OF TRIAL EXHIBITS In preparation for trial in this matter, the parties agree to the following stipulations regarding evidentiary issues: 1. Neither party, in its Appendix A filings or in the joint exhibit list, is required to note objections to exhibits in order to preserve those objections. 2. The parties stipulate to the admissibility of the documents listed below, provided that the document is used in the examination of any witness at trial and discussed by the witness, even if that witness could not authenticate the document. However, documents whose admissibility has otherwise been stipulated to need not be used in the examination of a witness at trial if the document was referred to in the text or exhibits of an expert report or in a demonstrative exhibit used by an expert witness at trial, but mere inclusion of the document in an expert report as a document relied upon in the preparation of that report does not suffice to obviate the need to use the document in the examination of a witness at trial. Only the admissibility of typewritten content, and not of handwritten content, is stipulated to. This stipulation notwithstanding, objections going to whether the document is complete or whether it is a composite of multiple documents are not waived. That a document has not been included in this stipulation does not carry any implication with respect to the admissibility of that document. (a) Northeast Savings and Northeast Federal 10Ks, 10Qs, annual reports, and all other securities filings. Examination reports pertaining to Northeast Savings and Northeast Federal, and responses to those examination reports by Northeast Savings or Northeast Federal. Northeast Savings Thrift Financial Reports.
