John Venzke From: "Mindy Hall" To: "jvenzke@comcast.net" Sent: Monday, July 6, 2015 9:25:59 AM Subject: RE: Tang v. Tran; No. 13-DCV-211293 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.

Tran; No. 13-DCV-211293 Mindy 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.

Tran; No. 13-DCV-211293 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. Mindy From: jvenzke@comcast.net [mailto:jvenzke@comcast.net] Sent: Monday, June 29, 2015 1:12 PM To: Hall, Mindy Subject: Re: Tang v. Tran; No. 13-DCV-211293 Mindy 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. John P.

Tran; No. 13-DCV-211293 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.

Tran; No. 13-DCV-211293 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.

Tran; No. 13-DCV-211293 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.

Tran; No. 13-DCV-211293 Mindy 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. John Venzke
