Judge David Gustafson yet again shows his obliging nature in Carl Lawrence Collins, III, Docket No. 2643-17, filed 4/202/26. Having heretofore unscrambled at-trial concessions and prepared a concordance of documents evidencing same, he agrees to postpone review of the trial transcript until the transcribed audio version has been cleaned up by the parties.

“Because of weather conditions that affected travel, the court reporter was unable to attend the trial session in person, and he relied on an audio connection to make the recording from which the transcript would be prepared. As we explained in our order of March 20, 2026 (Doc. 164), our recent review of a portion of the third volume of the trial transcript revealed numerous errors, for which we proposed corrections based on a backup audio recording.” Order, at p. 1.

So let the trial clerk send the parties what audio there is, so they can jointly or separately move to correct the transcript.

Taishoff, moved by Judge David Gustafson’s diligence, offers a wee correction of his own.

“ORDERED that the post-trial briefing schedule previously ordered in Docs. 159 and 167 is hereby vacated, and revised a briefing schedule will be set after the transcript has been corrected.” Order, at p. 1.

Judge Gustafson, try this: “ORDERED that the post-trial briefing schedule previously ordered in Docs. 159 and 167 is hereby vacated, and a revised briefing schedule will be set after the transcript has been corrected.”
