Plaintiff,
vs.

ORDER

THE COVENANT PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH, a Nebraska non-profit
domestic corporation,
Defendant.
This matter is before the court on the defendant’s request to present live
testimony during the hearing scheduled for Monday, April 13, 2015, at 10:00 a.m. The
defendant states that although testimony from Pastor Kevin McDonald is contained in
an affidavit, the defendant would prefer him to testify in person to provide “a level of
detail and explanation regarding Plaintiff’s job duties and responsibilities that cannot
possibly all be set forth in an affidavit.” See Filing No. 100 - Brief p. 8. Under the
circumstances, the court will allow live testimony from Pastor Kevin McDonald at the
hearing.

The plaintiff may also present live testimony to complete or refute the

defendant’s testimony during the hearing.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated this 9th day of April, 2015.
BY THE COURT:
s/ Thomas D. Thalken
United States Magistrate Judge
