Pitha v. Muller
the research performed by Dr. Ciesielski, Dr. Czajkowska and
Dr. Szente, all said to have been carried out under his
direction. We find the testimony of Dr. Pitha to be credible
only to the extent that the statements by Dr. Pitha have been
corroborated by a person with first hand knowledge of the
events which have taken place. We do not find the statements
of Dr. Pitha credible regarding the research performed by
Dr. Ciesielski because we have not been directed to testimony
of a person with first hand knowledge of Dr. Ciesielski’s
activity to corroborate the statements of Dr. Pitha.
2. The Research of Dr. Winicjusza Ciesielski.
Pitha seeks to rely on the research appearing in
Dr. Winicjusza Ciesielski’s laboratory notebooks, PX-27.
Dr. Ciesielski did not testify during the testimony phase of
the interference. Pitha provides the testimony of Dr. Pitha32
and the testimony of Dr. Czajkowska (PR-297) as a
corroborating witness for the description of the subject
matter contained in Dr. Ciesielski’s laboratory notebook.
Pitha argues that they should be able to rely on the work
described in Dr. Ciesielski’s laboratory notebook as evidence
because Dr. Pitha carefully supervised the work performed in
32PB page 13, footnote 6.
