Nature of the Order

The provided opinion is an order stating that the court exhibits from a bench trial are appended. A bench trial is a trial decided by a judge rather than a jury. The text does not contain the court’s findings of fact, conclusions of law, judgment, or ruling on the parties’ underlying dispute.

Materials Appended

The order identifies six categories of appended exhibits:

- Plaintiffs’ opening slides; - Defendants’ opening slides; - Deposition designations for Andrew Young played in court; - Deposition designations for Jeffrey Puterbaugh played in court; - A list of exhibits admitted with deposition designations; and - Designated deposition-testimony excerpts played in court.

The appended materials concern the parties’ merger agreement, payment milestones, and the development and construction of the Cassadaga wind project. They include competing presentations and evidence about whether the project could achieve commercial operation by the end of 2020 and whether the defendants’ conduct affected a potential milestone payment. Those materials include party positions and evidence, not findings by the court in the provided text.

Ruling and Disposition

The order does not grant or deny a motion, resolve a claim, enter judgment, or state any other disposition. It simply appends the identified trial exhibits and concludes with the court’s signature.
