The Sonics have filed a motion to exclude Tim Ceis testimony as a rebuttal witness.....

" In discovery, the city repeatedly instructed Cies not to answer questions about his discussions with K&L Gates and consultant Wally Walker on these matters by asserting the attorney-client privilege. The City should not be allowed to now ambush the PBC on the last day of the trial by impliedly waiving this same privilege in its questioning of Ceis."

"Alternatively, if such testimony is allowed, a waiver of the Cities attorney-client privilege should be declared and the City should be ordered to immediately produce all communications with K&L Gates and any City personel reflecting efforts to procure a local buyer or force a sale"
