He's where and affirmed to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
Señor, ¿usted jura decir la verdad y nada más la verdad hoy?
Ms. Ponce, the vice chair will have some questions for Mr. Ponce, not Mr. Ponce, for Rafael.
Señor Rafael, tiene unas preguntas para usted.
Okay, good afternoon.
I'm sorry. I apologize. I keep interrupting. I feel so bad.
But can I just ask, Chair, where were the exhibits sit?
Ms. Potts, if you can ask that question.
Señor, si puede mostrar los exhibits que va a presentar hoy.
Okay, ustedes pueden agregar a la señora Melissa Cadillo para compartir la pantalla.
Could you add
Ms. Melissa Cadillo
so she can share her screen?
Meditza Cadillo?
Meditza Cadillo.
Who was she?
No, she's an
expeditor.
It has to be
Mr. Cabrera or an attorney.
No, Sr. Cabrera.
Tiene que ser usted o un abogado.
No, yo lo voy a
presentar. Yo lo que quiero que
le permitan entrar
para que ella me comparta la pantalla.
O sea, es la pantalla nada más.
I'm going to be the one presenting.
She has the screen that I need you to
have her be able to share.
First, we need to know
where were the exhibits
that are required
were emailed because we do not
have a record.
Necesitan saber
a dónde mandaron el correo electrónico
de los exhibits.
They sent it to RCO and Zuleta.
So, this is Tanya again. We have no record, neither I or Salada or RCO. If we could request the forwarded email sent to us again to review and share, if it's okay with you, we'd like to move on to another case.
que nadie tiene eso
si por favor se lo puede mandar otra vez
que le pueda hacer
un favor
we're going to have to continue
this case Ms. Ponce
van a tener que
seguir este caso en otro momento
yo tengo ya
si me dan dos minutos
ya yo tengo como
seis meses esperando por este
por este meeting
Could I have two minutes, because I've been waiting for this for six months?
Two minutes for what purpose?
To talk to his expediter?
Para hablar con la señora?
No, lo que pasa es que tuve que tener un meeting con la comunidad y todo eso, por eso duró tanto tiempo.
No, it took a long time because I had to wait to meet with the community and all.
We understand that, but either he or he relied on his expediter did not follow through on providing us with the exhibits that are necessary for us to conduct a hearing.
So we must continue this case.
Entonces necesitan seguir este caso en otro momento.
Okay, what date could that be?
Okay, what date could that be?
Well, that'll come forward later, Mr. Sunkit.
Well, that'll come forward later.
Mr. Sunkit will advise him of a date.
So for the purpose of the record, MI 2021, that is 002-535-362 East Wyoming Avenue is continued.
