Attached as Exhibit B is a true and correct copy of excerpts from Defendant's Responses to Plaintiffs' First Interrogatories and Requests for Production, served on June 18, 2007. 4. On several occasions after NCRL made its Initial Disclosures, defense counsel supplemented those disclosures, either via a letter, via e-mail, or in person at a deposition. These supplemental disclosures were provided to us on March 26, 2007; October 16, 2007; February 12, 2008 (via hand delivery and email); February 21, 2008; February 22, 2008, March 4, 2008; March 24, 2008; and March 26, 2008. 5. Attached as Exhibit C is a true and correct copy of the cover letter that accompanied NCRL's hand-delivered February 12, 2008 supplemental disclosures. 6. At no time did NCRL amend or supplement the statements in its Initial Disclosures regarding board members and branch librarians (namely, that these witnesses were not known to have information necessary to the defense of the case, and that NCRL would amend its disclosures if it determined that it would "need to consult" with them). 7. In fashioning Plaintiffs' discovery plan, Plaintiffs' counsel relied upon NCRL's Initial Disclosures and discovery responses to determine which fact witnesses should be deposed. Based on the information that NCRL provided to us, we chose to depose Dean Marney, Dan Howard and Barbara DECLARATION OF DUNCAN MANVILLE IN SUPPORT OF PLAINTIFFS' MOTIONS IN LIMINE ­ Page 2 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 Walters.
