From the Courtroom of Nancy C. Francis of Washtenaw County

THE COURT: No. It is a debt that's due and if you don't have it paid by Monday at four o'clock, the Court will hold a hearing at that time on contempt of court.
Now as regard to these other issues, the DVDs. The Court finds that the DVDs that you're trying to get admitted sent to the Court of Appeals were not included in the trial. That they are hearsay and there are hearsay there was no proper presentation under the catchall hearsay rule. They were not connected with any hearing. And the Court is finding that for the purposes of this Court they are not admissible into evidence. That there was not a question that was posed to Ms. Wright in which she testified that in a way that was that could be shaken by the admission of these tapes. That this is not directly relevant to any answer that she gave in the court. That

MR. WHITFIELD: Your Honor

THE COURT: the Court of Appeals has every power in the world if they want to get these DVDs. I'm sure they'll come up in the arguments. And if they want them, they can get them from you I'm quite sure, but I'm going to have them removed from the court file because they were never a relevant part of any evidence that was that the Court took into account in making its decisions. So they can certainly be returned to you, Mr. Whitfield, but I'm going to say that all of these tapes are to be removed from the court file and so I will sign an order to that effect.
