Mr. Venzke,

I will have to check on this.  I was out of the office last week, Tuesday through Friday.

In my previous e-mail to you, I explained there were no exhibits included in the appellate record
because none were included in Mr. Wauson’s Designation of Reporter’s Record.  I did inform you
though that Exhibit 77 was never admitted.  I did not say that it was not offered.  Again, I will have
to check the record and I will get back to you.

As a follow up to my formal request, enclosed is the Exhibit List filed by Plaintiff's
which reflect Exhibit 77 was "Wauson Probus Attorney's Fee Statements
(redacted)." What I am looking for is this form, or whatever you used to keep track
of the trial exhibits, which indicates Offered and Admitted as it relates to Exhibit 77.

Thanks.

Mr. Venzke,

There were no exhibits that went up with the appeal because they were not included in Mr.
Wauson’s Designation of Reporter’s Record for the appeal.  I also note that Exhibit 77 was not
admitted at the trial.

I noticed that Exhibit 77 (copies of Wauson's attorneys' fees) was not in the the
testimony you prepared and filed. I looked at the District Court's website and they
are not listed in that record. Do you have this Exhibit as part of the testimony ? If
so, and I want to add for the appeal, what do you need from me to do so ? I know I
need to file Motion with Court of Appeals, but what do you need from me to include it
?

Thanks.

I noticed the Court of Appeals says it recievd the reporter's record. But all they have
are two hearings typed up by Stephanie Webb. Have you filed the other part of the
record ?

Thanks.

After all your work my clients decided not to have any thing added to the record.
They re broke.

Thanks again.

The cost for the appellate record you requested which includes the testimony of Andy Tang and
Yvonne Tran is $3,000.

The cost for the two bills of exceptions, if you choose to include them, is $344.

Please let me know how you wish to proceed.

Thanks,

Good point; if we do it, and I do not think client's can pay so probably moot, but it
would include our two bill of exceptions and, with Tang and Tran, that is it.

Thanks.

Wes has ordered the testimony of Klaus Weigand and his own testimony on attorney’s fees, pretrial
motions, bench conferences, charge conference, and the hearings from 10/31/14 and 11/14/14.
I’m just confirming that you don’t need Voir Dire, anything concerning Defendant’s two bills of
exceptions, opening statements, closing arguments, any of the jury questions, the reading of the
verdict, et cetera.

As you may recall, I represeted Yvonne Tran and Klaus Wiegland in this case.

I see that Wes Wauson has requested a partial statement of facts. Can you give me
an estimate of how much the remainder would cost ? That would be the testimony of
Mrs. Tang and Ms. Tran.

Thanks.
