JUDGE NATHAN: Good morning, members of the jury. Nice to see you. I hope you had a good weekend. Thank you again for your diligence and punctuality. It's much appreciated. You may recall that the last witness testified before we broke on Friday was Sergeant Dawson. That testimony was almost finished, so as a matter of convenience so as not to call Sergeant Dawson back, the parties agreed to stipulate to some remaining testimony. Mr. Everdell, I'll ask you to please read the stipulation that the parties agreed to.

MR. EVERDELL: Yes, your Honor.

JUDGE NATHAN: Thank you.

The two items inside the cardboard box, which are visible in Government Exhibit 294, were still in their original boxes unopened. It is further stipulated and agreed that this stipulation, marked as Defendant's Trial Exhibit B, may be received in evidence at trial. And it's dated today's date December 6th, 2021, and signed by the parties.

JUDGE NATHAN: And you move for admission.

MR. EVERDELL: We move for the admission of Defendant's Tribal Exhibit B.
