The parties also suggest that it may be more efficient to have the statements due on April 7th, together with the joint pre-trial order. ENDORSEMENT: So Ordered. Fourth the parties would also appreciate Your Honor's guidance with respect to whether the use of Powerpoint or other visual presentations, exhibits and/or demonstratives in opening statements is permitted. ENDORSEMENT: Allowed. So Ordered. Finally, there may be a need to reference various books during the trial. In this regard, the parties were wondering whether it would be sufficient to have a single copy of a given book for use with a witness, with color copies available for counsel and the Court, or whether Your Honor would prefer that the party seeking to use a book have multiple copies available, and if so how many. ENDORSEMENT: No preference. So Ordered. (Signed by Judge Robert P. Patterson on 2/28/08) (js)
