1 CORPORATION; Defendant E.I. DU PONT DE NEMOURS AND COMPANY; 

2 Defendant GE AVIATION SYSTEMS, LLC; and Defendant PKL SERVICES, 

3 INC. (collectively, the "Parties") have stipulated and agreed to the Stipulation 

4 Regarding Authentication of Documents Produced by the United States Navy 

5 ("Stipulation re: Authentication of Navy Documents") as follows: 

6 1. On December 12,2014, the Court entered an order directing the United 

7 States Navy ("Navy") to produce certain documents "as 'Blue Ribbon' certified 

8 copies, duly authenticated in accordance with the requirements of Federal Rule of 

9 Evidence 902(4)" (the "Order"). (Doc. 91 at 2-3.) 

10 2. The Navy has produced numerous documents in response to the Order. 

11 The Navy has not, however, produced the vast majority of these documents as 

12 "Blue Ribbon" certified copies, duly authenticated in accordance with the 

13 requirements of Federal Rule of Evidence 902(4), as required by the Order. 

14 3. Rather than be required to produce these documents again as "Blue 

15 Ribbon" certified copies, duly authenticated in accordance with the requirements of 

16 Federal Rule of Evidence 902(4), the Navy has requested that the Parties instead 

17 stipulate to the authenticity of the documents produced by the Navy in this 

18 litigation. 

19 4. On December 30, 2015, Defendant Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation 

20 served a subpoena to the U.S. Secretary of the Navy demanding production of the 

21 documents identified in the Order (the "Subpoena"). 

22 5. The Parties anticipate that the Navy will produce additional documents 

23 in response to the Subpoena. 

24 6. The Parties agree to treat all documents produced by the Navy, 

25 previously and in the future, in response to the Order and the Subpoena as if they 

26 were produced in the form required by the Order (i.e., as "Blue Ribbon" copies that 

27 meet the requirements of Federal Rule of Evidence 902(4».
