MEMORANDUM ORDER that due to the exingencies of the Court's trial schedule and the finite amount of time available and the fact that counsel has advised the court that it will take several weeks at least to present the plaintiff's case-in-chief in this non-jury trial scheduled to commence 7/26/93, the Court is proposing to counsel the following: Each party will have the opportunity to present an opening statement which shall be no more than 2 hours in length; Each party will take videotape depositions of all witnesses, and present in lieu of live testimony, or by agreement shall submit transcripts of depositions, and as more fully stated; the parties shall begin deposing witnesses as their schedules permit, and may use the videotape facilities at the U.S. District Court, Pittsburgh, from 7/26/93 until they are completed. The parties, if they believe there are any witnesses whose videotape deposition cannot be taken and whose live testimony the Court must hear, shall present the names, subject matter, expected length of testimony, and compelling reasons why live testimony must be presented, at the final pretrial conference on 7/20/93. At the conclusion of the presentation of all the evidence by videotape deposition, stipulation, or transcript, each party will have the opportunity to present a closing statement which shall not exceed 2 hours in length. If either party wishes to follow this procedure, it will be followed, with the details to be worked out at the pretrial conference. If both parties believe that this procedure cannot be followed, they may present reasons in support thereof and proposed alternative trial dates at the pretrial conference. (signed by Judge D. B. Smith on 7/9/93) CM all parties of record. (tam) (Entered: 07/14/1993)
