defendants were going to call MacIntyre, Jones, Tiffany Shaw,

Lieutenant Sousa, I anticipate a half an
hour; Lieutenant Jakowinicz, a half an hour; Trowbridge, I

I was one of the interdiction sergeants.

So you supervised deputies involved in interdiction?

But I think what I'm going to be inclined to do,
especially in light of the fact that we're likely looking at
