received a motion regarding uh 105 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:07,200 procedural aspects of the hearing um and 106 00:09:04,839 --> 00:09:10,200 April 15th we received a motion 107 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:13,320 regarding the board of appeals Authority 108 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:16,320 um at this point I'm going to pause and 109 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:20,000 ask Mr Blitz to State what it is briefly 110 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:20,000 uh that that you'd like us to 111 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:25,959 hear my mic on Eric Blitz on behalf of 112 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:30,040 the rod reel 113 00:09:25,959 --> 00:09:31,600 um I understand why the board might want 114 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:34,279 to 115 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,040 consider the documents that it received 116 00:09:34,279 --> 00:09:37,560 in the 117 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:39,920 interim but all of those documents don't 118 00:09:37,560 --> 00:09:42,480 involve our case they really involve Mr 119 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:46,920 pound's case 120 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:50,240 and constantly my case is being 121 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:53,000 interrupted by circus 122 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,959 Antics I have a whole another motion on 123 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,279 the all these expart communications 124 00:09:54,959 --> 00:09:58,880 following your rules of procedure so 125 00:09:57,279 --> 00:09:59,959 I'll make that when you're ready to hear 126 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,640 that but 127 00:09:59,959 --> 00:10:04,680 I would ask that instead we'll be 128 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:08,360 allowed to put on the balance of our 129 00:10:04,680 --> 00:10:11,480 case first so that we can get our case 130 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:13,839 done I would like to have our case 131 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,839 submitted of course we have you know 132 00:10:13,839 --> 00:10:18,279 have a rebuttal to anything that's added 133 00:10:15,839 --> 00:10:20,920 by other parties and maybe there'll be 134 00:10:18,279 --> 00:10:23,720 Ser rebuttal and things like that but I 135 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:28,000 would like to get our case done it's the 136 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:31,839 only fair way to have our case not 137 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:33,920 constantly be interrupted Ed by expart 138 00:10:31,839 --> 00:10:35,399 Communications in this instance but 139 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,959 plenty of other arguments that are 140 00:10:35,399 --> 00:10:40,000 really just arguments that in opposition 141 00:10:37,959 --> 00:10:42,720 to what I have made arguments about 142 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:44,120 that's his turn he he will have his turn 143 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,920 just like any member of the public will 144 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:49,639 have their turn but instead we're 145 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:52,440 allowing a process whereby interruptions 146 00:10:49,639 --> 00:10:54,839 are done and I'll point out that these 147 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:57,600 aren't motions you don't have an an 148 00:10:54,839 --> 00:11:01,639 procedure for motions filed outside the 149 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:03,200 context of the record I grant that a 150 00:11:01,639 --> 00:11:05,560 procedural motion like a motion for 151 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:07,720 continuance could always be filed 152 00:11:05,560 --> 00:11:10,680 typically to the chair usually sent to 153 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:12,959 the attorney so that they could vet it 154 00:11:10,680 --> 00:11:16,040 first but those aren't substantive to 155 00:11:12,959 --> 00:11:18,639 the case those are purely procedure 156 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:21,839 these letters are all arguments about 157 00:11:18,639 --> 00:11:24,560 the case and my point is there are 158 00:11:21,839 --> 00:11:29,200 interruptions to my case and I'd like to 159 00:11:24,560 --> 00:11:29,200 just go ahead and put on my case now 160 00:11:32,079 --> 00:11:38,000 I respond or 161 00:11:34,079 --> 00:11:40,839 um yes you may respond um well I'm sort 162 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:43,480 of amused that the refer the references 163 00:11:40,839 --> 00:11:45,839 to CF circus Antics especially since 164 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:49,079 we're here discussing basically houses 165 00:11:45,839 --> 00:11:51,040 being put in a flood plane um and so 166 00:11:49,079 --> 00:11:54,120 those are facts that are absolutely 167 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:57,839 Undisputed by by Witnesses put on by the 168 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:59,760 applicant so uh uh I can tell you that 169 00:11:57,839 --> 00:12:02,079 that is a very concerning 170 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:04,200 issue with regard to the public health 171 00:12:02,079 --> 00:12:06,560 of the town and the town is considering 172 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,680 it very very serious that indeed you 173 00:12:06,560 --> 00:12:11,560 know something like that would be 174 00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:14,000 advocated at all uh motions the all of 175 00:12:11,560 --> 00:12:17,360 my motions that I've put forward apply 176 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:19,320 de definit directly to uh issues with 177 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:22,360 regard to procedural matters and it go 178 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:24,199 goes directly to various issues of uh 179 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:26,360 that have been introduced and that are 180 00:12:24,199 --> 00:12:29,639 being brought up and being discussed for 181 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:32,440 the last I guess it's 23 24 hours now uh 182 00:12:29,639 --> 00:12:34,560 it's been going on and on and on with 183 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:36,279 regard to these issues and these issues 184 00:12:34,560 --> 00:12:38,639 at least need to be brought before the 185 00:12:36,279 --> 00:12:41,040 board uh on a motion to make sure that 186 00:12:38,639 --> 00:12:44,000 indeed the board is aware that uh there 187 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:46,120 are major issues with regard to the uh 188 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:48,199 these issues all together now just 189 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:50,000 because I file these motions don't 190 00:12:48,199 --> 00:12:52,399 doesn't mean that I'm going to in 191 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:54,240 essence not be bringing them up later on 192 00:12:52,399 --> 00:12:57,639 but in essence you know part of a motion 193 00:12:54,240 --> 00:13:00,440 practice is to in essence uh try to make 194 00:12:57,639 --> 00:13:03,079 sure that the tri effect or the board in 195 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:05,639 this case is 100% aware of what is going 196 00:13:03,079 --> 00:13:07,839 on as opposed to just the narrative that 197 00:13:05,639 --> 00:13:09,800 Mr Blitz has been going on about saying 198 00:13:07,839 --> 00:13:12,000 no you need to listen to me going on and 199 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:14,519 on with without in essence putting 200 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:17,440 things either in context or making sure 201 00:13:14,519 --> 00:13:20,480 that indeed uh things 202 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:22,720 are uh as they are supposed to be in the 203 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:25,199 presentation on so and I'm going to use 204 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:27,320 the word uh truthful as opposed to all 205 00:13:25,199 --> 00:13:30,000 the facts that are being involved so 206 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:32,639 motions practice is 100% % appropriate 207 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:35,560 especially in that this is relating to 208 00:13:32,639 --> 00:13:39,079 procedural aspects of where we are where 209 00:13:35,560 --> 00:13:43,040 this case is going and uh so you know 210 00:13:39,079 --> 00:13:45,079 circus tactics motions are certainly 211 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:47,519 appropriate in any type of case and 212 00:13:45,079 --> 00:13:50,360 that's what we're doing 213 00:13:47,519 --> 00:13:53,240 here um so we've received your letters 214 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,959 we've heard what you said I would like I 215 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:59,199 would like to consult with legal counsel 216 00:13:54,959 --> 00:14:01,839 but first I would like a brief summary 217 00:13:59,199 --> 00:14:04,079 and like one by one of each motion 218 00:14:01,839 --> 00:14:05,959 you're making and at the end I would 219 00:14:04,079 --> 00:14:08,440 like to know what it is the action that 220 00:14:05,959 --> 00:14:09,680 you want the board to take I don't the 221 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:12,000 thing that I want to I think I want to 222 00:14:09,680 --> 00:14:15,360 lay out here 223 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:17,839 I I don't want motions for awareness I 224 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:19,519 want these motions for procedurals like 225 00:14:17,839 --> 00:14:22,360 what do we need to do not that we need 226 00:14:19,519 --> 00:14:24,680 to be aware of something because we I 227 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:26,920 think very much like to hear the 228 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:29,199 rebuttal and content of your side of the 229 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:31,880 presentation but I'm not entirely sure 230 00:14:29,199 --> 00:14:34,800 it's appropriate in terms of content for 231 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:37,720 that to be in a motion so make your 232 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:39,000 motions summarize them and then tell us 233 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,959 exactly what it is that you want the 234 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:44,079 board to do right now we will then take 235 00:14:41,959 --> 00:14:46,320 those consider whether or not we need to 236 00:14:44,079 --> 00:14:48,920 go into uh consult with the legal 237 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:51,040 council and then we will come back so we 238 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:54,959 could to go one by one one by one if you 239 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:56,399 would um we've all read the letters um 240 00:14:54,959 --> 00:14:58,639 if you give a brief summary and then 241 00:14:56,399 --> 00:14:59,839 tell us what it is that you expect us to 242 00:14:58,639 --> 00:15:02,880 do with 243 00:14:59,839 --> 00:15:06,480 that uh first of all we begin with the 244 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:08,399 March 26th letter um and I have the 245 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:10,399 highest respect and admiration for Mr 246 00:15:08,399 --> 00:15:12,800 susman except for the fact that we do 247 00:15:10,399 --> 00:15:15,279 have a situation in which you know from 248 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:17,800 where everything I have seen uh he has 249 00:15:15,279 --> 00:15:19,959 in essence injected himself as a witness 250 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:23,040 to these proceedings uh really as a 251 00:15:19,959 --> 00:15:26,240 witness as to three aspects number one 252 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:28,600 is with regard to uh an ordinance versus 253 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:31,639 resolution one of the things that uh is 254 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:35,040 fun Al to the pl applicants case is that 255 00:15:31,639 --> 00:15:38,480 in essence that the council somehow 256 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:41,759 filed the wrong proceeding and and and 257 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:44,360 they filed a resolution rather than an 258 00:15:41,759 --> 00:15:46,600 ordinance and if Mr susman indeed 259 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:48,319 believes that the ordinance is should 260 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:51,800 have been the proper mechanism that was 261 00:15:48,319 --> 00:15:55,639 done by Council Mr susman is indeed a 262 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:57,800 being paid by the town he is a town 263 00:15:55,639 --> 00:16:00,519 attorney and a town uh being 264 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,720 representated by the town if indeed he 265 00:16:00,519 --> 00:16:04,079 did not think that that was an 266 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:06,720 appropriate measure then indeed he 267 00:16:04,079 --> 00:16:09,240 should have told the Town Council right 268 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:11,880 away uh that this becomes a serious 269 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:14,959 issue because now indeed if he has the 270 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:17,360 opinion that somehow someway the Town 271 00:16:14,959 --> 00:16:20,040 Council made an improper motion and 272 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:22,279 somehow someway the board of appeals has 273 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:24,240 the authority to overrule the Town 274 00:16:22,279 --> 00:16:27,600 Council then then the question comes 275 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:29,040 into why wait all this time to in 276 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,800 essence present the opinion to the the 277 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,920 board of appeals rather than presenting 278 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,199 it to the Town Council when indeed it 279 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,160 should have happened from the from the 280 00:16:34,199 --> 00:16:39,120 beginning okay so and at the end of this 281 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:41,079 motion or in this case you want to quit 282 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,800 to question Mr sus that is the outcome 283 00:16:41,079 --> 00:16:45,040 of this motion that that basically is 284 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:47,759 where it's going yes um this is one I'm 285 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:49,759 going to deny outright we can't actually 286 00:16:47,759 --> 00:16:52,920 Discman because he's our legal counsel 287 00:16:49,759 --> 00:16:55,360 and this about him but the ability of 288 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:57,880 the board to consult with its hired 289 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:59,360 counsel um we're not we're not going to 290 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,519 discuss that this one is outright 291 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:03,360 tonight okay well to the second and and 292 00:17:01,519 --> 00:17:06,319 just to make sure I put it on the record 293 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:08,839 like I said the issue comes into if if 294 00:17:06,319 --> 00:17:10,480 indeed and this is what is going to be 295 00:17:08,839 --> 00:17:12,480 you know either now or sometime in the 296 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:14,919 future if there was any discussion 297 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:18,600 whatsoever about the issue of resolution 298 00:17:14,919 --> 00:17:20,439 versus ordinance then uh in in Ence if 299 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:22,439 that was ever brought up to the board 300 00:17:20,439 --> 00:17:25,039 that way he becomes an expert witness 301 00:17:22,439 --> 00:17:27,799 and indeed subject to cross-examination 302 00:17:25,039 --> 00:17:30,240 as opposed to someone who just is giving 303 00:17:27,799 --> 00:17:32,880 legal counsel to the board so that is 304 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:34,200 what in essence this is going so 305 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,039 objecting to that we're not we're not 306 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:38,640 talking 307 00:17:36,039 --> 00:17:40,120 about um and also next just be heard 308 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:42,559 briefly 309 00:17:40,120 --> 00:17:44,880 very I know you just ruled against the 310 00:17:42,559 --> 00:17:47,120 motion but there's lots of reasons why I 311 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:50,440 should put things on the record as to 312 00:17:47,120 --> 00:17:52,799 why that motion should be denied that 313 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:54,520 should be in the record so that when if 314 00:17:52,799 --> 00:17:57,799 it's challenged in the 315 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:59,280 future they hear my side of why that 316 00:17:57,799 --> 00:18:00,640 motion should be denied I thought you 317 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,640 were really just going through and 318 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,360 asking Mr pounds what the concrete 319 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:07,200 things are not his arguments he just 320 00:18:04,360 --> 00:18:09,559 made an argument for that entire motion 321 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:11,799 yes how if if he's going to be given the 322 00:18:09,559 --> 00:18:15,280 opportunity to make the entire argument 323 00:18:11,799 --> 00:18:18,640 for a motion the applicant and certainly 324 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:20,280 third other parties have the right to 325 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:23,159 weigh in on that motion before it's 326 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:25,760 disposed of for the record fair um would 327 00:18:23,159 --> 00:18:28,360 you like to submit that in writing is 328 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:30,080 that good enough or would you rather 329 00:18:28,360 --> 00:18:32,039 state 330 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:34,600 you rather be granted a chance to 331 00:18:32,039 --> 00:18:36,400 stay I have no op for all the rest of 332 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,919 the Motions as well just for the this 333 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,600 one is specific because we're not 334 00:18:37,919 --> 00:18:42,520 considering this is one where we can't 335 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:45,039 go into consult with our legal counsel 336 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,320 about his legal count so this is one 337 00:18:45,039 --> 00:18:48,600 unfortunately we have no one to ask 338 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:51,039 about um so this one's getting special 339 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:54,440 treatment so if you'd like 340 00:18:51,039 --> 00:18:56,919 to I'm entirely happy to accept writing 341 00:18:54,440 --> 00:19:00,360 on this

we're not allowed to do the 411 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:47,240 rest of this is just a lot of words so 412 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:50,400 let's start with Mr Blitz you are making 413 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:54,559 a motion that so I guess the the 414 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:58,000 original motion to hear to finish your 415 00:21:54,559 --> 00:21:59,279 um your presentation is denied so that 416 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,480 you can 417 00:21:59,279 --> 00:22:03,400 enter this one about exp parte 418 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:06,480 communication which we can then 419 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:09,120 consider maybe with legal counsel we 420 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:12,440 allow Mr pounds to uh briefly speak 421 00:22:09,120 --> 00:22:14,880 after please okay so I'm making an 422 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:16,400 objection to M Mr pound's persistent 423 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,360 violation of the board's rule against 424 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:20,679 exp party Communications by sending 425 00:22:18,360 --> 00:22:23,480 letters being distributed to the entire 426 00:22:20,679 --> 00:22:27,520 board outside the context of the 427 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:29,880 record which introduces facts not in 428 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:32,039 evidence makes arguments against the 429 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:34,039 Roden re's case and thus uses 430 00:22:32,039 --> 00:22:37,200 Communications between hearings as a 431 00:22:34,039 --> 00:22:39,159 means of intervening in the presentation 432 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:42,480 of the rod and reels 433 00:22:39,159 --> 00:22:44,720 case rather than wait his turn during 434 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:47,000 the this proceeding the board's chair 435 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:49,039 has consistently stated that after the 436 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,279 rod and reel's case Mr pounds would be 437 00:22:49,039 --> 00:22:51,520 and other parties would be allowed to 438 00:22:50,279 --> 00:22:54,720 present their 439 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:57,200 case on March 26th clerk to the board 440 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:59,120 distributed to the entire membership of 441 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:01,840 the board and others who are not parties

as a witness 445 00:23:06,120 --> 00:23:11,080 and another with regarding line Mr 446 00:23:08,679 --> 00:23:14,480 suspen as a witness these letters 447 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:16,919 included allegations or purported facts 448 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:21,120 not contained within the 449 00:23:16,919 --> 00:23:23,120 record on March 28th 2024 the clerk to 450 00:23:21,120 --> 00:23:25,000 the board distributed to the entire 451 00:23:23,120 --> 00:23:27,559 membership of the board and others who 452 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:30,880 are not parties to this case a letter 453 00:23:27,559 --> 00:23:33,600 from M Mr on the same date attaching his 454 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:36,760 letter from Kurt fiser of the law firm 455 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:40,520 of Venable LLP that is not in the 456 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:41,840 record on April 12th 2024 the clerk to 457 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,720 the board distributed to the entire 458 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:46,360 membership of the board into an even 459 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:48,840 larger list of people a letter from Mr 460 00:23:46,360 --> 00:23:50,440 pounds to the board of the same date 461 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,840 reporting to make 462 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:55,720 allegations um I apologize reporting to 463 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:58,159 make a motion outside the context of the 464 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:59,120 record about substantive matters of the 465 00:23:58,159 --> 00:24:00,960 case 466 00:23:59,120 --> 00:24:03,400 that include allegations or purported 467 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:06,080 facts not contained within the 468 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:07,960 record I will also point out that while 469 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:10,200 a party to this case can certainly make 470 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:12,640 a motion during the 471 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:15,480 hearing we're doing that now right the 472 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:17,840 board has no rule in its published rules 473 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:20,000 of procedure that allows motions to be 474 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:22,080 made through expart 475 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:24,520 Communications while the chair may have 476 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:27,320 a residual authority to rule on 477 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:29,520 procedural motions in between hearings 478 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:32,480 such as a request for postponement or 479 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:34,919 continuance is if some emergent 480 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:38,000 fact somebody got sick or something like 481 00:24:34,919 --> 00:24:40,520 that um such motions cannot be arguments 482 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:43,399 about the merits of the case and cannot 483 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:46,480 provide facts to the board about the 484 00:24:43,399 --> 00:24:50,600 substance of the case not already in the 485 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:52,000 record on April 15 2024 the clerk to the 486 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,559 board distributed to the entire 487 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:56,000 membership of the board and to many 488 00:24:53,559 --> 00:24:58,200 others party not party to the case a 489 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,919 letter from Mr pounds to the board of 490 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:02,840 the same 491 00:24:59,919 --> 00:25:05,120 date reporting additional motions again 492 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,960 introducing facts not in the record and 493 00:25:05,120 --> 00:25:10,520 making arguments against the Roden reels 494 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,520 case in the middle of the Roden re's 495 00:25:11,039 --> 00:25:16,120 case it's wholly 496 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,559 inappropriate I can argue against the 497 00:25:16,120 --> 00:25:19,279 substance of the allegations and 498 00:25:17,559 --> 00:25:22,000 arguments contained in these expart 499 00:25:19,279 --> 00:25:23,720 communications at the appropriate time 500 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,399 but the Board needs to seriously 501 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:28,440 consider the 502 00:25:25,399 --> 00:25:30,880 remedy that should be applied 503 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:32,559 against Mr pounds and his client for 504 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,640 deliberately filing expart 505 00:25:32,559 --> 00:25:37,159 Communications containing substantive 506 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:39,039 arguments in the case and introducing 507 00:25:37,159 --> 00:25:41,279 facts not in the 508 00:25:39,039 --> 00:25:44,120 record I want the board to know that 509 00:25:41,279 --> 00:25:46,520 after the first two letters of Mr pounds 510 00:25:44,120 --> 00:25:49,559 on March 28th I wrote a letter to Mr 511 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:51,360 susman delivered by email complaining 512 00:25:49,559 --> 00:25:54,279 about the EXP parte Communications and 513 00:25:51,360 --> 00:25:57,000 Mr pounds was copied on that email and 514 00:25:54,279 --> 00:25:59,039 letter therefore after the first two 515 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,279 xart a letters and seat of my letter 516 00:25:59,039 --> 00:26:03,279 complaining about exp parte 517 00:26:00,279 --> 00:26:05,880 Communications Mr pounds sent two more 518 00:26:03,279 --> 00:26:08,200 letters and considering the remedy I 519 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:10,480 would like to you to point out to you 520 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,480 why expart Communications such as these 521 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:14,080 are so 522 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:16,159 unfair and dangerous to the proper 523 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:19,720 administration of this 524 00:26:16,159 --> 00:26:22,200 hearing first only things in the record 525 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:24,039 during the Open Session become a part of 526 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:26,360 the record in this case and are 527 00:26:24,039 --> 00:26:28,880 appropriate for consideration by the 528 00:26:26,360 --> 00:26:31,000 board the record is also important 529 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:33,320 because that's the scope and extent 530 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:36,279 which can be typically considered by a 531 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:37,679 reviewing Court second as you have seen 532 00:26:36,279 --> 00:26:39,399 throughout this hearing when a party 533 00:26:37,679 --> 00:26:41,880 wants to make an objection to the 534 00:26:39,399 --> 00:26:43,440 introduction of evidence they need to 535 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,799 make that objection at the time it's 536 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:47,080 being 537 00:26:44,799 --> 00:26:49,880 introduced we do that so that the board 538 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:52,760 is not able to consider information that 539 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:54,919 it shouldn't properly consider whether 540 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:57,000 it's for relevance or other evidentiary 541 00:26:54,919 --> 00:26:58,799 reasons but with an exp parte 542 00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:01,159 communication 543 00:26:58,799 --> 00:27:02,679 that includes information provided 544 00:27:01,159 --> 00:27:06,080 that's not under 545 00:27:02,679 --> 00:27:08,120 oath and in between the hearings then 546 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:10,960 there's no way to make an objection to 547 00:27:08,120 --> 00:27:14,840 either the procedural or substantive 548 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:17,600 objections to that evidence being now 549 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:19,919 considered by the board thus the board 550 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:21,399 is given information outside the record 551 00:27:19,919 --> 00:27:23,000 without the opportunity for other 552 00:27:21,399 --> 00:27:25,080 parties to argue the evidence is 553 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:28,320 improper or relevant to the issues in 554 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:31,320 the case I will note 555 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:33,760 I'm not the only party everybody in the 556 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:35,720 public who has testified or signed up to 557 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:37,960 testify is a party to this case under 558 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,559 Maryland law they were entitled to get a 559 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:42,320 copy of these letters wasn't sent to 560 00:27:39,559 --> 00:27:43,960 them they are entitled to make the same 561 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:46,200 complaint I'm making about expart 562 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:48,279 Communications and to make the same 563 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:50,080 objections but they may not even know 564 00:27:48,279 --> 00:27:52,159 about it and that's why expart 565 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:54,159 Communications like this are so 566 00:27:52,159 --> 00:27:56,919 dangerous 567 00:27:54,159 --> 00:27:59,480 third if expart Communications are 568 00:27:56,919 --> 00:28:01,080 relied upon by the board 569 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:04,279 that can be a violation of the party's 570 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:06,159 due process rights under Maryland law if 571 00:28:04,279 --> 00:28:07,960 you as board members read these letters 572 00:28:06,159 --> 00:28:09,799 or presented new facts and arguments 573 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,880 when I on behalf of the Roden reel or 574 00:28:09,799 --> 00:28:13,159 other parties to the case have no 575 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,279 opportunity to be 576 00:28:13,159 --> 00:28:17,200 heard on an objection to the 577 00:28:15,279 --> 00:28:19,760 presentation of that 578 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:22,240 evidence then the party sending the up 579 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:25,679 the expart communication gains an unfair 580 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:29,440 advantage over all the other 581 00:28:25,679 --> 00:28:31,960 parties now you read into the record 582 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:33,840 that they were the the letters and I was 583 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,960 bringing them because I thought they had 584 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:38,559 to become exhibits have they now become 585 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:42,320 exhibits and if so are the exhibit 586 00:28:38,559 --> 00:28:45,600 numbers uh I am not sure on well I'm 587 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,600 going to be a major objection I 588 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,600 mean okay so

right now um but I'd 788 00:38:52,599 --> 00:38:56,920 like 789 00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:59,440 to if if if um if you're done we I think 790 00:38:56,920 --> 00:39:02,640 can discuss with our legal council can I 791 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:07,480 question yes yes was your remedy 792 00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:09,640 directed to all of the uh letters it 793 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:11,200 was well the pro the problem is we 794 00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:13,520 haven't even discussed all the records 795 00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:15,000 and I just want to make sure I'm clear 796 00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:16,000 basically you know there was a question 797 00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,079 whether these were going to come into 798 00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:20,960 evidence Mr Blitz admitted them evidence 799 00:39:18,079 --> 00:39:23,200 so they're all in they're all in um but 800 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:26,160 the question I think is one of order and 801 00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:28,119 who gets it we in the midst of of Mr 802 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:31,280 blitz's presentation and the question is 803 00:39:28,119 --> 00:39:35,119 whether or not these can interrupt more 804 00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:38,359 than they already have um and the remedy 805 00:39:35,119 --> 00:39:41,040 I think Mr bits is is saying is that the 806 00:39:38,359 --> 00:39:42,960 damage is done but the remedy to not 807 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:45,240 throwing the whole putting everything 808 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:47,640 off the rails is to allow response to it 809 00:39:45,240 --> 00:39:49,920 at this point in time and then resuming 810 00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:52,160 his presentation and I'd like to point 811 00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:54,319 out that when we submit those is 812 00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:55,920
