The photos are irrelevant and misleading. It is unclear which parts of the building the photos were taken of and whether they are representative of the entire Mills Building. Mr. Hedman admits that the photos depict “some of those opened spaces” of the building. It is unclear as to what they show and how, if they do, establish that any of those materials did not contain asbestos, given Mr. Hedman’s lack of training in that area and the vagueness of his declaration as to what information is contained in the building plans he reviewed. As such, Exhibits | A-1E must not be considered. COURT’S RULING ON OBJECTION NO. 1: Dated: Sustained: Overruled: OBJECTION NO. 2: Plaintiffs object to Exhibits 2 and 3, the newspaper article, attached to the Hedman Declaration, The newspaper is hearsay and not properly authenticated. Further, there has been no showing that the newspaper fits under the Ancient Documents exception to the Hearsay Rule.
