ORDER APPOINTING MR. RAINER

SCHULZ AS A TECHNICAL ADVISOR

On March 7, 2007, the Court issued a Proposed Order of Appointment of a Technical

Advisor, Mr. Rainer Schulz. (See Docket Item No. 297.) The deadline for raising any objections

has passed. Accordingly, the Court appoints Mr. Rainer Schulz as a Technical Advisor under the

following terms:

1. Any advice provided to the Court by Mr. Schulz will not be based on any extrarecord information.

2. From time to time, the Court may request Mr. Schulz to provide a formal written

report on technical advice concerning the case. A copy of the formal written report

prepared by Mr. Schulz shall be provided to the parties. The Court, however,

reserves the right to have informal verbal communications with Mr. Schulz which are

not included in any formal written report.

3. Mr. Schulz may attend any court proceedings.

4. Mr. Schulz may review any pleadings, motions or documents submitted to the Court.

5. As a technical advisor, Mr. Schulz will make no written findings of fact and will not

supply any evidence to the Court. Thus, Mr. Schulz will be outside the purview of 

“expert witnesses” under Fed. R. Evid. 706. As such, the provisions in Rule 706 for

depositions and questioning of expert witnesses will be inapplicable to Mr. Schulz. 

See Reilly v. United States, 863 F.2d 149, 155-56 (1st Cir. 1988).

6. Mr. Schulz will have no contact with any of the parties or their counsel other than for

billing purposes.

7. The parties are directed to pay the reasonable fees charged by Mr. Schulz for his

service as a technical advisor to the Court in this case. The parties shall confer to

determine an apportionment for purposes of payment of Mr. Schulz’s fees. All

matters pertaining to the fees of Mr. Schulz are referred to the assigned Magistrate

Judge.

8. Mr. Schulz shall file a declaration that he will adhere to the terms of his appointment.
