v
Plaintiffs, American Educational Research Association, Inc. (“AERA”), American Psychological
Association , Inc. (“APA”) and National Council on Measurement in Education, Inc. (“NCME”)
(collectively “Plaintiffs” or the “Sponsoring Organizations”), respectfully submit this response to
Defendant-Counterclaimant Public.Resource.Org.’s Objections to Plaintiffs’ Supplemental Evidence
(Dkt. No. 98-5) (the “Supplemental Objections”).
As a preliminary matter, Defendant’s lengthy
Supplemental Objections should be denied on the grounds that neither the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure nor the Local Rules provide for or permit the submission of such Supplemental Objections.
Nevertheless, Plaintiffs submit the below responses to the Supplemental Objections out of an abundance
of caution.
I.
THE STANDARD FOR EVIDENCE TO BE PROPERLY CONSIDERED ON SUMMARY
JUDGMENT IS THAT THE EVIDENCE MUST BE CAPABLE OF BEING
CONVERTED TO ADMISSIBLE EVIDENCE AT TRIAL
Defendant’s cumbersome Supplemental Objections, like their prior Objections (Dkt. 68-6), rely
upon a mis-stated standard of admissibility at the summary judgment stage in an effort to distract the
Court from the key material facts and legal principles, which establish that Plaintiffs are entitled to
judgment as a matter of law. Defendant’s Supplemental Objections are primarily conclusory assertions
that the Declarations submitted in opposition to Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment and in
Support of Plaintiffs’ Motion for Summary Judgment do not present admissible evidence. In addition to
being inaccurate as to the statements and documents to which it objects, Defendant relies upon an
incorrect standard.
Rule 56 permits a party to “object that the material cited to support or dispute a fact cannot be
presented in a form that would be admissible in evidence.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(c)(2) (emphasis added).
“At the summary judgment stage, a party is not required to produce evidence in a form that is admissible,
but the evidence must be capable of being converted into admissible evidence at trial.” Jones v. United
States, 934 F. Supp. 2d 284, 289 (D.D.C. 2013) (citing Gleklen v. Democratic Cong. Campaign Comm.,
Inc., 199 F.3d 1365, 1369 (D.C. Cir. 2000)) (citations omitted); see also Fraser v. Goodale, 342 F.3d
1032, 1036 (9th Cir. 2003).
1
A.
The Standard for Relevance Is A Liberal One.
In order to be relevant, evidence need only have any tendency to make a fact of consequence in
the litigation more or less probable than it would be without the evidence. Fed. R. Evid. 401; Barnett v.
PA Consulting Grp., Inc., 35 F. Supp. 3d 11, 16 (D.D.C. 2014). See also Daubert v. Merrell Dow
Pharm., Inc., 509 U.S. 579, 587 (1993) (“The Rule’s basic standard of relevance thus is a liberal one.”)
Relevant facts are not limited to those facts necessary to prove the elements of a claim, but also include
background facts, contextual facts, and other facts that are helpful to a determination of the issues. See
Fed. R. Evid. 401, Advisory Committee Note (1972) (“Evidence which is essentially background in
nature can scarcely be said to involve disputed matter, yet it is universally offered and admitted as an aid
to understanding. . . . A rule limiting admissibility to evidence directed to a controversial point would
invite the exclusion of this helpful evidence, or at least the raising of endless questions over its
admission.”); Cook v. Spencer, 688 F.2d 1017, 1018 (5th Cir. 1982) (“Rule 401, Federal Rules of
Evidence, defines such evidence as ‘... evidence having any tendency to make the existence of any fact
that is of consequence to the determination of the action more probable or less probable than it would be
without the evidence.’ Such evidence need not bear on ultimate issues as disputed facts; and background
evidence may be admitted in the judge’s discretion.”).
B.
The Standard for “Personal Knowledge” Is Much Broader than Defendant
Suggests.
“Personal knowledge” is not limited to a person’s first-hand experience, as Defendant argues with
its objections. Personal knowledge may be gained through a person’s education or work experience.
Great Am. Assur. Co. v. Liberty Surplus Ins. Corp., 669 F. Supp. 2d 1084, 1089 (N.D. Cal. 2009)
(“Personal knowledge includes opinions and inferences grounded in observations and experience.”).
Personal knowledge also applies to information learned by a person through a review of documents or
through industry experience. Washington Cent. R. Co. v. Nat’l Mediation Bd., 830 F. Supp. 1343, 1353
(E.D. Wash. 1993) (“Personal knowledge, however, is not strictly limited to activities in which the
declarant has personally participated. As a case which plaintiff cites clearly demonstrates, personal
2
knowledge can come from review of the contents of files and records.”); Allied Sys., Ltd. v. Teamsters
Auto. Transp. Chauffeurs, Demonstrators & Helpers, Local 604, Affiliated with the Int’l Bhd. of
Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehousemen & Helpers of Am., 304 F.3d 785, 792 (8th Cir. 2002) (“Personal
knowledge or perception acquired through review of records prepared in the ordinary course of business,
or perceptions based on industry experience is a sufficient foundation for lay opinion testimony.”).
As noted above, Rule 56 only permits objections that a fact “cannot be presented in a form that
would be admissible in evidence.” Accordingly, a declarant’s sworn testimony may be considered on
summary judgment unless no basis for a witness’s personal knowledge can be supplied at trial.
C.
A Witness May Testify As to Opinions and Other Information Beyond Facts Known
Personally to the Witness.
Defendant’s objections improperly seek to limit the scope of witness testimony. For example,
witnesses may testify regarding their opinions. Nelson v. United States, 55 A.3d 389, 392 (D.C. 2012)
(“[N]on-expert witnesses may also express opinions as long as those opinions are based on the witness’
own observation of events and are helpful to the jury.”) (quotations and citations omitted); Great Am.
Assur. Co., 669 F. Supp. 2d at 1089. See Weinstein v. Dist. of Columbia Housing Auth., 931 F. Supp. 2d
178, 186 (D.D.C. 2013) (“[I]f a corporate officer is noticed for deposition pursuant to Rule 30(b)(6), ‘his
sworn affidavit is admissible,’ even if that declaration is not based on personal knowledge.”) (citations
omitted).
D.
Hearsay May Be Considered on Summary Judgment Where There Are Applicable
Hearsay Exceptions.
Just as hearsay may be considered at trial, where an exception applies, it may also be considered
on summary judgment where an exception would permit its admission at trial. Doe v. Lee, 220 F. Supp.
2d 1307, 1311 (M.D. Ala. 2002) (“In addition, even though a document, deponent, or affiant refers to
hearsay information, that information may be considered on summary judgment if it would be admissible
at trial under an exception to the hearsay rule or as non-hearsay.”). Business records and public records
are examples of documents that may be considered.
Fed. R. Evid. 803(6); Fed. R. Evid. 803(8).
Additionally, documents may be considered, regardless of whether an exception applies, when the
3
evidence is not offered to prove the truth of any out of court statements contained within the document.
Fed. R. Evid. 801(c), Advisory Committee’s Note. (“If the significance of an offered statement lies solely
in the fact that it was made, no issue is raised as to the truth of anything asserted, and the statement is not
hearsay.”); Lee, 220 F. Supp. 2d at 1311.
E.
Authenticity is Not Limited in the Fashion Recited by Defendant.
Defendant seeks to limit the scope of authentication to one acceptable form of authentication.
While authentication can be demonstrated in the manner recited by Defendant, it can also be established
in other ways, including through testimony by a records custodian or through the submission of evidence
that is self-authenticating. See Fed. R. Evid. 803(6)(D), 901, 902. Additionally, as discussed above,
Plaintiffs need not have authenticated documents upon which they rely in their summary judgment
briefing, so long as the documents could be authenticated at trial. America v. Mills, 654 F. Supp. 2d 28,
36 (D.D.C. 2009) (“To repeat, if it is possible to convert potential evidence into a form that would be
admissible at trial—as it appears to be in this case—the Court may consider it at the summary judgment
stage. The Court will not exclude the 2002 DRC Report from consideration at this point. Its admissibility,
with or without the support of additional testimony, will be considered at trial.”) (internal citations
omitted).
F.
Defendant Ignores the Numerous Exceptions to the Secondary Evidence Rule.
Defendant’s objections regarding the “secondary evidence rule” ignore all other recognized forms
of admissible documents. See Fed. R. Evid. 1003-1008; U.S. ex rel. El-Amin v. George Washington
Univ., 522 F. Supp. 2d 135, 145-46 (D.D.C. 2007) (“Because of the numerous avenues of escape from the
mechanical application of the requirement of the original, a party is rarely precluded from producing
significant relevant evidence because of the best evidence rule.”) (citation and quotation omitted).
Evidence may be considered on summary judgment so long as any acceptable form could be supplied at
trial.

8. One of the many ways in which Standard
3.3 could be rephrased without changing its
meaning is as follows:
Studies collecting evidence for the
interpretation and use of test scores,
quantifying the inconsistency in examinee
performance, and of other topics should be
conducted during test construction by
individuals and organizations who mandate,
sponsor, prepare and design, and market tests
so that study results will inform the discussion
of the comparability of subgroup scores.
Defendant-Counterclaimant Public
Resource’s Objections
Plaintiffs’ Response to Defendant’s
Objections
FRE 402 Relevance. Mr. Camara has not been
presented as an expert and his lay opinion is
not relevant. The proffered testimony does not
have any tendency to make a fact of
consequence more or less probable than it
would be without the evidence.
This evidence is relevant. In order to be
relevant, evidence need only have any
tendency to make a fact of consequence in the
litigation more or less probable than it would
be without the evidence. Defendant has
introduced the issue of whether it is possible to
phrase the individual standards recited in the
1999 Standards without changing their
meaning. Plaintiffs have argued, and still
maintain, that Defendant has waived this
affirmative defense because it was not
included in Defendant’s answer. However,
should the Court consider the defense, Dr.
Camara’s testimony is directly relevant to
whether such rephrasing is possible. In
paragraph 6 of his declaration, Dr. Camara
testifies that he was specifically asked to
rephrase several of the standards in the 1999
Standards, without changing their meaning,
and Defendant did not object to that paragraph.
FRE 403 Prejudice. Plaintiffs assert that the
1999 Standards were written by “a select group
of the leading minds in educational and
psychological testing of their time” (ECF No.
60-1, Pls. Mem. at 1), and that the Joint
Committee members that Plaintiffs credit with
authorship of the 1999 Standards represent a
diverse range of fields including “admissions,
achievement, clinical counseling, educational,
licensing-credentialing, employment, policy,
As set forth above, Dr. Camara’s testimony is
relevant. Any risk of confusion to the Court is
minimal, is outweighed by its probative value,
and fails to warrant exclusion. Paleteria La

and program evaluation.” (Pls. Mem. at 5). Mr.
Camara stated in his prior declaration in
support of Plaintiffs’ Motion for Summary
Judgment that the Joint Committee members
were “the leading authorities in psychological
and educational assessments.” (ECF No. 6076, ¶ 11). Mr. Camara was not part of this elite
group of experts. Plaintiffs have not
demonstrated that Mr. Camara has the breadth
of knowledge to evaluate whether his
rephrasing of individual standards from the
1999 Standards is accurate and does not
change the meaning of the standard, nor that he
is qualified to know why the Joint Committee
members or other authors chose the wording
that they did (rather than wording that Mr.
Camara now proposes). Therefore the
probative value of the proffered testimony is
substantially outweighed by a danger of unfair
prejudice, confusing the issues, and misleading
the factfinder.
judgment stage “because the prejudicial effect
of the [evidence] at this stage of the
proceedings is minimal at best”) (citing Adams
v. Ameritech Servs., Inc., 231 F.3d 414, 428
(7th Cir. 2000); Hines v. Consol. Rail Corp.,
926 F.2d 262, 274 (3d Cir. 1991)).
FRE 701 Improper Lay Opinion. The proffered
testimony is a lay opinion that is not rationally
based on the witness’s perception; is not
helpful to clearly understanding the witness’s
testimony or to determining a fact in issue,
including because the proffered testimony is
conclusory; or is based on scientific, technical,
or other specialized knowledge within the
scope of Rule 702.
Dr. Camara’s testimony is rationally based
upon his perception based upon his experience
as set forth in paragraphs 1-5 of his
declaration, as well as his personal experience
outlined in his curriculum vitae attached as
Exhibit 1 to his prior declaration, dated
December 8, 2015 (Dkt. 60-76), and is helpful
to the trier of fact. Dr. Camara’s testimony in
this paragraph is both helpful to clearly

understanding his testimony and to
determining a fact in issue, as discussed above
in response to Defendant’s relevance
objection. Finally, this testimony is not based
on scientific, technical, or other specialized
knowledge within the scope of FRE 702 and is
admissible under at least FRE 602 and FRE
701.
FRE 702 Unreliable Expert Opinion. The
proffered testimony is an expert opinion by a
witness who is not qualified as an expert by
knowledge, skill, experience, training, or
education. The testimony further will not help
the trier of fact to understand the evidence or
to determine a fact in issue; is not based on
sufficient facts or data; is not the product of
reliable principles and methods; and is not
based on the expert’s reliable application of
reliable principles and methods to the facts of
the case.
11
Defendant has not identified why this
testimony is subject to FRE 702, rather than
FRE 701. This testimony is not based on
scientific, technical, or other specialized
knowledge within the scope of FRE 702; rather
it is rationally based on Dr. Camara’s
perceptions and personal knowledge and thus
falls under FRE 701. Indeed, Defendant
should be barred from making a FRE 702
objection when Defendant included topics in
its 30(b)(6) notice on these issues and Dr.
Camara was designated as a 30(b)(6) witness
on such topics. See Camara Dep. 43:19-21
(“Q Do you understand you have been
designated to testify as to Topics 15 and 16? A
Yes, I do.”), Exhibit XXXXX to Gray Decl.
(Dkt. 94-2). Defendant’s counsel could have,
but strategically elected not to, ask him to
rephrase the individual standards from the
1999 Standards during his deposition, and this
testimony is, therefore, admissible. See
Weinstein v. Dist. of Columbia Housing Auth.,
Declaration of Wayne Camara In Further

9. Standard 4.4, as recited in the 1999
Standards, states:
No objection.
If test developers prepare different versions of
a test with some change to the test
specifications, they should document the
content and psychometric specifications of
each version. The documentation should
describe the impact of differences among
versions on the validity of score interpretations
for intended uses and on the precision and
comparability of scores.

10. One of the many ways in which Standard
4.4 could be rephrased without changing its
meaning is as follows:
Changes or augmentations to assessments
which impact content, constructs, or statistical
properties of a test should be documented and
made available to test users. Documentation
should address any effect on the overall
reliability of the test, the accuracy of scores, or
the inferences which can be made from scores,
as well as the extent that scores across
different versions are comparable.

This evidence is relevant. In order to be

tendency to make a fact of consequence in the
litigation more or less probable than it would
be without the evidence. Defendant has
introduced the issue of whether it is possible to
phrase the individual standards recited in the
1999 Standards without changing their

maintain, that Defendant has waived this
affirmative defense because it was not
included in Defendant’s answer. However,
should the Court consider the defense, Dr.
Camara’s testimony is directly relevant to
whether such rephrasing is possible. In

outlined in his curriculum vitae attached as
Exhibit 1 to his prior declaration, dated
December 8, 2015 (Dkt. 60-76), and is helpful
to the trier of fact. Dr. Camara’s testimony in
this paragraph is both helpful to clearly
understanding his testimony and to
determining a fact in issue, as discussed above
in response to Defendant’s relevance
objection. Finally, this testimony is not based
on scientific, technical, or other specialized
knowledge within the scope of FRE 702 and is
admissible under at least FRE 602 and FRE
FRE 702 Unreliable Expert Opinion. The
proffered testimony is an expert opinion by a
witness who is not qualified as an expert by
knowledge, skill, experience, training, or
education. The testimony further will not help
the trier of fact to understand the evidence or
to determine a fact in issue; is not based on
sufficient facts or data; is not the product of
reliable principles and methods; and is not
based on the expert’s reliable application of
reliable principles and methods to the facts of
the case.
Defendant has not identified why this
testimony is subject to FRE 702, rather than
FRE 701. This testimony is not based on
scientific, technical, or other specialized
knowledge within the scope of FRE 702; rather
it is rationally based on Dr. Camara’s
perceptions and personal knowledge and thus
falls under FRE 701. Indeed, Defendant
should be barred from making a FRE 702
objection when Defendant included topics in
its 30(b)(6) notice on these issues and Dr.
Camara was designated as a 30(b)(6) witness
on such topics. See Camara Dep. 43:19-21

designated to testify as to Topics 15 and 16? A

includes results for all 69 different editions of
the Standards for Educational and
Psychological Testing, the majority of which
are not the 1999 edition at issue in this
litigation, and many of which are translations
into foreign languages. Therefore this
statement and the related exhibit is misleading
and does not accurately portray instances in
which the English version of the 1999
Standards may or may not be available in
libraries. The probative value of the proffered
exhibit is substantially outweighed by a danger
of unfair prejudice, confusing the issues,
misleading the factfinder, and needlessly
presenting cumulative evidence.

This evidence is relevant. In order to be
relevant, evidence need only have any
tendency to make a fact of consequence in the
litigation more or less probable than it would
be without the evidence. This evidence is
relevant to whether copies of the Standards for
Educational and Psychological Testing (1999)
are available to the public in libraries.
The testimony is clear in context. Any risk of
confusion to the Court is minimal, is
outweighed by its probative value, and fails to

would be admissible pursuant to the residual

to the extent there is hearsay within hearsay,
the exhibit is admissible because hearsay

issues in the present litigation with AERA et
al., when in fact these statements are explicitly
confined to only the Code Revision
Commission case, and specifically concern
only the Official Code of Georgia Annotated
(abbreviated as “O.C.G. A.”). Plaintiffs have
no evidence, and there is no indication, that the
same facts and statements that apply to Public
Resource’s posting of the Official Code of
Georgia Annotated also apply to Public
Resource’s posting of the 1999 Standards.
Moreover, Plaintiffs fail to inform the Court
that this stipulation of facts concerns a
different matter entirely, and that Plaintiffs’
selective quotation omits the parts of the
quoted sentences that limit the statements to
the Official Code of Georgia Annotated. The
probative value of the proffered exhibit is
substantially outweighed by a danger of unfair
prejudice, confusing the issues, and misleading
the factfinder.

confusion to the Court is minimal, is
outweighed by its probative value, and fails to

This evidence is relevant. In order to be
relevant, evidence need only have any
tendency to make a fact of consequence in the
litigation more or less probable than it would
be without the evidence. Exhibit ZZZZZ is a
printout from Bookshare.org, an online library
for people with print disabilities offered by Mr.
Fruchterman’s company Benetech, and shows
that Mr. Fruchterman is aware of the
requirements of the Chafee Amendment and of
how to provide access to printed material for
the print disabled while also protecting the
rights of copyright holders. As Mr.
Fruchterman’s expert report glaringly omits

FRE 802 Hearsay. The proffered exhibit is an
out-of-court statement that is offered to prove
the truth of the matter asserted (the procedures
used by Bookshare.org). This exhibit was used
at deposition to ask Mr. Fruchterman
questions, but Mr. Fruchterman did not say
that he wrote the content, and the exhibit does
not fall into any hearsay exceptions.
60. Attached as Exhibit AAAAAA is a true
and correct copy of the deposition transcript of
Marianne Ernesto, taken on April 29, 2015.
A hearsay exception applies because the
referenced document is commonly relied upon
by the public or persons in particular
occupations. See FRE 803(17). Additionally,
this exhibit is a business record pursuant to
FRE 803. If necessary, Plaintiffs will call Mr.
Fruchterman as a custodian at trial. Finally,
this exhibit would be admissible pursuant to
the residual hearsay exception pursuant to FRE
807.
