HOMER J. HOLLAND, STEVEN BANGERT, co-executor of the ESTATE OF HOWARD R. ROSS, AND FIRST BANK Plaintiffs, v. THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Defendant.

No. 95-524 C (Judge G. Miller)

PLAINTIFFS' MOTION TO INTRODUCE AT TRIAL THE DEPOSITION TESTIMONY OF DEFENDANT'S EXPERT PAUL A. GRIFFIN Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 801(d)(2)(C) and this Court's Order of October 5, 2007, Plaintiffs hereby respectfully move for leave to introduce as substantive trial evidence portions of the deposition testimony of Defendant's testifying expert Paul A. Griffin. As this Court ruled in its October 5, 2007 Order, "Federal Rule of Evidence 801(d)(2) . . . provide[s] . . . [a] bas[i]s for the admission of deposition testimony in lieu of live testimony." Order of October 5, 2007 at 2 (citing Globe Savings Bank, F.S.B. v. United States, 61 Fed. Cl. 91, 95-96 (2004). Among other types of "party admissions," identified by Rule 801(d)(2), Rule 801(d)(2)(C) classifies as "not hearsay" "statement[s] [] offered against a party" made "by a person authorized by the party to make a statement concerning the subject." The deposition testimony of an expert whom a party has authorized to speak on its behalf falls into this category, and constitutes "an admission against the party that retained him." Glendale Federal Bank v. United States, 39 Fed. Cl.

Defendant's Initial Witness Disclosures Pursuant to Appendix A, dated September 17, 2007 at 5.
