Extenet Seeks to Amend Exhibit List to Include Expert Witness Report

Extenet moved Thursday to amend or, in the alternative, file an erratum to the exhibit list included with its Feb. 24 pretrial submissions to add as an exhibit at trial the expert report of Patricia Kravtin in its case against the city of Rochester’s wireless deployment fees, said its unopposed motion (docket 6:20-cv-07129). Extenet designated Kravtin as its expert witness but inadvertently omitted her report from the exhibit list included with its pretrial submissions, it said. A single consolidated bench trial is scheduled to begin June 1 and 2 in the related infrastructure complaints brought against Rochester by Extenet, Crown Castle and Verizon (see 2212200065). Common to all three complaints are the allegations that Rochester’s wireless deployment fees significantly exceed a reasonable approximation of the city’s actual costs of maintaining the rights-of-way used or occupied by telecommunications service providers, in violation of Section 253 of the Telecommunications Act. An in-person mediation conference for all the parties in the three cases is set for Tuesday.
