We did all these things with the Court's blessing and approval of taking depositions. Those schedules were discussed with opposing counsel. And as soon as we'd taken the deposition, within approximately a week, we provided the designations. That was back in February of this year. There's no prejudice. So for all these reasons, we would ask that we be allowed to present two of the co-conspirators in the witness SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS, P.C. (212) 805-0300 HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_011446
