Submission of Exhibits
Prepared written testimony shall NOT be filed with the Commission's Docket Office but served in accordance with the Scoping Memo's requirements.
Pre-Marking Exhibits
Exhibits shall be premarked for identification on the first page, bottom right hand corner. The exhibits shall be marked with the offering party's abbreviation (e.g., SCE, ORA) and be numbered sequentially beginning with an assigned number within an assigned number block. The parties shall meet and confer and agree upon assigned number blocks (e.g., PG&E 1-99; TURN 200-299).
Identification of Exhibits at the Evidentiary Hearing
At the evidentiary hearing, each party sponsoring an exhibit shall provide 2 copies to the ALJ and 1 to the court reporter and have at least 5 copies available for distribution to in the hearing room. The upper right hand corner of the first page of the exhibit cover sheet should have a blank space two inches high by four inches wide for the ALJ's exhibit stamp. This directive applies to cross-examination exhibits as well. Exhibits that do not have such a blank space must have a cover page. The pages in all exhibits must be numbered.
Cross-examination Exhibits
As a general rule, if a party intends to introduce an exhibit in the course of cross-examination, the party should provide a copy of the exhibit to the witness and the witness' counsel before the witness takes the stand on the day the exhibit is to be introduced. Generally, a party is not required to give the witness an advance copy of the document if it is to be used for impeachment or to obtain the witness' spontaneous reaction. An exception might exist if parties have otherwise agreed to prior disclosure, such as in the case of confidential documents.
Corrections to Exhibits
Generally, exhibit corrections should be made in advance and not orally from the witness stand. Corrections should be made in a timely manner by providing new exhibit pages on which corrections appear. The original text to be deleted should be lined out with the substitute or added text shown above or inserted. Each correction page should be marked with the word "revised" and the revision date.
Exhibit corrections will receive the same number as the original exhibit plus a letter to identify the correction. Corrections of exhibits with multiple sponsors will also be identified by chapter number. For example, Exh. 5-3-B is the second correction made to Exhibit 5, Chapter 3.
