`

`Case 1:20-cv-00393-LO-TCB Document 654 Filed 05/21/21 Page 2 of 5 PageID# 14809
`
`including, without limitation, the Court’s rulings on the parties’ pending and contemplated
`
`motions, or as otherwise appropriate.
`
`Counterclaim Plaintiffs’ deposition designations and listing of trial exhibits are designed
`
`to comply with the Court’s Orders, Federal and Local Rules, and in accordance with the parties’
`
`agreements and to preserve Counterclaim Plaintiffs’ rights, based on the present status of the case.
`
`Counterclaim Plaintiffs’ proposed designations and trial exhibits do not waive their rights to object
`
`to certain categories of evidence as being irrelevant or otherwise inadmissible. The parties will
`
`exchange objections and present to the Court disputes regarding the issues and evidence to be
`
`presented to the jury and the relevancy and admissibility of certain testimony and exhibits. Until
`
`the Court addresses and rules on such disputes, Counterclaim Plaintiffs reserve the right to make
`
`final decisions regarding what witnesses to call and what exhibits to proffer.
`
`A. Witnesses
`
`Counterclaim Plaintiffs reserve the right to supplement or amend the list in light of any
`
`Court order related to motions in limine or the scope of the trial or in light of any information
`
`submitted by Counterclaim Defendants RAI Strategic Holdings, Inc. and R.J. Reynolds Vapor
`
`Company as part of its pretrial filings or otherwise. Counterclaim Plaintiffs further reserve the
`
`right to present testimony by any witness identified by Counterclaim Defendants not excluded
`
`pursuant to Counterclaim Plaintiffs’ objections, and to offer additional testimony by deposition or
`
`trial transcript. Counterclaim Plaintiffs reserve the right to present testimony from rebuttal
`
`witnesses and to call additional witnesses for purposes of impeachment.
`
`B.
`
`Deposition Designations
`
`Counterclaim Plaintiffs reserve the right to introduce all, any, or none of the designated
`
`testimony with any associated and/or referenced exhibits.

`
`C.
`
`Exhibits
`
`The listing of a trial exhibit on Counterclaim Plaintiffs’ proposed trial exhibit list does not
`
`represent or otherwise require that Counterclaim Plaintiffs introduce that exhibit and does not
`
`waive Counterclaim Plaintiffs’ right to object to the use or admission of that exhibits by
`
`Counterclaim Defendants.
`
`The descriptions of the exhibits are provided herein for the convenience of the parties only,
`
`and are not intended to be an admission as to the scope or substance of the content herein. Any
`
`dates provided with respect to an exhibit are strictly for convenience of the parties and do not
`
`constitute an admission that the document contained in said exhibit was published, generated, or
`
`otherwise made available on that date.
`
`Counterclaim Plaintiffs reserve the right to use, and incorporate herein, (i) any additional
`
`exhibits, if necessary, in rebuttal to exhibits or testimony offered by Counterclaim Defendants or
`
`for cross examination or impeachment purposes; (ii) any exhibit designated by Counterclaim
`
`Defendants (including on its May 21, 2021 Exhibit List or any supplements or amendments
`
`thereto); (iii) any document that becomes available on or after May 21, 2021; (iv) a substantially
`
`similar version of any exhibit set forth below from a different source or party’s files; and (v) any
`
`enlargement, electronic version, or original of any exhibit for purposes of use at trial.
`
`Counterclaim Plaintiffs reserve the right to remove exhibits from the list based on outcomes of any
`
`motions in limine. Finally, Counterclaim Plaintiffs reserve the right to use demonstrative exhibits
`
`at the trial.
`
`Counterclaim Plaintiffs reserve the right to supplement, amend, or correct this proposed
`
`exhibit list, including by providing better copies of exhibits, should such be required or advisable.
