17· ·A· ··At that point in time I did not.··And I was not
20· ·Q· ··Okay.··Do you know if you did review the report?
21· ·A· ··I did eventually review the report, but I was not
23· ·Q· ··Okay.··And I'm going to show you that since you did

24· · · ··do know that the email did go out.··I believe it's
23· · · ··days that as part of the email chain that you had
·1· ·A· ··As part of the high-potency audit, yes, sir, that
23· · · ··do you know why that is that there's a later date
·2· ·Q· ··So under the summary there on the first page it
·8· · · ··directly.
10· · · ··to you to ask you about the high-potency email that
12· ·A· ··No, he would have had access to that on his own.
13· ·Q· ··So you didn't have any discussion with him about
14· · · ··that?
14· ·Q· ··So the December 22nd, 2020, semi -- it was called a
24· · · ··correct?
·3· ·Q· ··So the first thing I want to ask you about is on

22· · · ··accurate.

·7· ·Q· ··Now, the second and third instances that are talked
15· · · ··Dr. Michele Glinn this was the procedure that was
17· ·A· ··In the nonapproved SOP that we received, yes, this
20· · · ··approved.
25· · · ··correct?
·1· ·A· ··I was having conversations via email with Dr. Glinn

·8· · · ··on file, and that was the method that initially was
·2· · · ··Correct?
·5· · · ··email with Dr. Glinn and was trying to gain more
10· · · ··match with the data that she had sent us.··The data
21· · · ··space.
22· ·Q· ··You continuously state that you're looking for more
·2· · · ··the potency method being done, the same one that's
·3· · · ··in this SOP that you're now trying to disavow, they
·8· · · ··remind you too, this was during the height of the
24· · · ··Agency.
·2· · · ··the first time I've heard that from you.··So why
22· ·Q· ··So really what was in what she sent you was that
·4· · · ··She sent you exactly what they were doing and then
·5· · · ··you not only watched it, you recorded it and then
24· ·Q· ··Dr. Glinn in the email told you that the labs use
11· · · ··certainly.
12· ·Q· ··Okay.··So you would agree with me that Dr. Glinn
15· ·Q· ··So I'm still not hearing anything from you that
16· · · ··either of the Viridis labs told you that was not
17· · · ··honest.
20· · · ··disavowing this SOP, but what was it that they told
22· · · ··they were doing, you watched it, you recorded it,
·3· · · ··right?
15· · · ··network, so . . .
20· · · ··network?
·1· · · ··off that.··I don't know if you got the email about
13· · · · · · · · ··honest.
·5· · · ··the fact that there was so much ambiguity from what
21· · · ··correct?
16· · · ··right?
24· · · ··required?
25· ·A· ··I would have to review the documentation sent out
10· · · ··of sample preparation, will you agree that that was
21· ·A· ··I disagree with that entirely.··I think that what
24· · · ··outlined.
25· ·Q· ··So you would -- would you agree with me that it's
·5· ·A· ··Yes, sir, because they -- they altered the method
·8· ·Q· ··Well, if you go back to the May 2020 SOP that you
12· ·A· ··So in that method the kief was scraped back into
·7· ·Q· ··The May 2020 SOP, the change to the sample prep and
10· ·A· ··No, sir, I disagree with that.··I believe that what
11· · · ··they did, and from what they stated that they did
16· · · ··practice.
20· · · ··themselves.
24· · · ··laboratory.
12· · · ··"homogenize."
18· · · ··right?
24· · · ··action.
·7· ·Q· ··Is it true that you sent an email on August 3rd,
11· · · ··period?
12· ·A· ··That may have been.··And that was after we issued
22· · · ··date.
·1· · · ··Dr. Glinn where she provides the updated SOP, they
16· ·Q· ··So you just testified that they received a denial
15· · · ··point that you're talking about when you claim you
·7· · · ··Okay?
17· ·Q· ··And would you agree that the formal complaints that
21· ·A· ··Not the semi-annual inspection, sir, but rather the
24· · · ··Agency.
21· · · ··of the potency method at that time, and we had had
·9· · · ··results."
22· · · ··statement.
·1· ·A· ··No, that is exactly what this alleges, yes, sir.
13· · · ··actually sent you a letter telling you that the use
·7· · · ··back and forth between you and Dr. Glinn I believe
11· ·Q· ··Okay.··And I believe that you took issue with the
16· · · ··Dr. Michele Glinn herself said that any weight that
20· · · ··themselves.
·4· · · ··right?
14· · · ··1.1 grams.··So the fact that they stated that they
18· · · ··that they told us that they were using 0.5 grams.
19· ·Q· ··So there's nothing in the SOP that was -- they were
21· · · ··material?
22· ·A· ··Yes, sir, they were in violation of the fact that
24· ·Q· ··And so where did you get the tolerances for your
25· · · ··approximation?
10· · · ··issue with Dr. Glinn herself, and she stated that
16· · · ··fact that she knew that that would decrease the
20· · · ··no?
22· ·Q· ··Okay.··And what you just testified was they had to
·8· · · ··measurement.
13· · · ··records."
11· · · ··results.
16· ·Q· ··And are you aware that this tribunal issued a
20· ·Q· ··Okay.··Were you aware that the complaint that we're
·6· ·Q· ··But you're aware that that occurred; is that right?
12· ·A· ··I am sure that there was one that was filed.··I
15· ·Q· ··So I'm going to show you what's been marked as
18· · · ··44.
21· · · ··chance?
·7· · · ··you.
·9· · · ··admitted.
·3· · · ··4 is 3.
·4· ·Q· ··So looking down to the -- are you okay -- second
11· · · ··good?
·2· · · ··paragraph 7.
·4· · · ··there?
20· · · ··can you say that again what the paragraph you're
23· · · ··correct?
25· ·Q· ··To the extent that I'm correct, without going
·7· ·Q· ··And I understand that, and I'm not asking you to
·6· ·Q· ··So I just want to make sure I understand what your
16· · · ··issues.
·1· · · ··August 2021 that -- filed by you and then what the
·7· ·A· ··To be honest, sir, your question doesn't make sense
19· ·A· ··That are associated with the formal complaint that
·7· ·A· ··I don't know that they would have been used as
16· ·A· ··Well, I don't see how a report that was signed in
·2· · · ··assistance.
·7· · · ··testimony?
17· · · ··chronologically.
18· ·Q· ··So over the course of time and then your testimony,
25· ·Q· ··Now I want to move down to the report a little bit
10· · · ··79?
12· · · ··her?
16· ·Q· ··Okay.··And would you agree that this is the article
18· · · ··report?
·6· ·Q· ··Okay.··So you say the many articles that you

19· · · ··literature.
20· ·Q· ··And I understand that your memory does have limits,
·1· · · ··point?
·8· · · ··here.
21· ·Q· ··And so when you say that you would point me to
23· · · ··reports?
·3· ·Q· ··Well, let's stick with this, this literature here,
·6· · · ··percent.
18· ·A· ··Yes, sir, this does refer to illicit product only.
25· · · ··2019?
·9· ·A· ··Sorry, I'd have to read this entire article if you
19· · · ··because I'd like you to read it, we can take the
23· ·A· ··If you wouldn't mind, I'd be happy to skim it.
25· ·A· ··If you could pause there for just a moment, that
12· · · ··please?
·4· · · ··transition.
·8· ·Q· ··I mean, wouldn't you agree with me that what you're
12· ·A· ··I would state that this administrative error was
·3· · · ··Argumentative.
25· · · ··misconduct."
14· · · ··plagiarism?
23· ·Q· ··Your complete audit -- not yours, but the CRA's
18· ·A· ··No, sir, it would have been cited incorrectly here.
21· ·Q· ··And the data itself was generated using a method
25· · · ··correct?
·1· ·A· ··All of those things are true and are still true.
·7· ·Q· ··And it's your testimony today that as we sit here
11· · · ··not.
13· · · ··no?
17· ·A· ··It has been peer reviewed by the AOAC's R-Squared
11· ·Q· ··Now, first of all, is it typical for the CRA to use
17· ·Q· ··When you say you do honor that, what do you mean by
18· · · ··that?
25· ·A· ··Well, the claim here stated "The reported potency
18· ·A· ··I believe that he sent an email that was associated
22· · · ··information.
23· ·Q· ··And did you -- did you speak to this anonymous
24· · · ··individual?
·5· · · ··never know who this person was, that they were
10· ·Q· ··Have you ever heard any complaints from CRA
24· · · ··report?
·2· · · ··LSS will compile that data and I'll review the data
·9· · · ··right?
15· ·Q· ··(MR. RUSSELL) Would you agree with me at this time
19· ·A· ··I can't speak to whether or not they were losing
·1· ·A· ··They may absolutely have done so, but we would not
12· · · ··laboratories?
13· ·A· ··It didn't seem like there was a lot of back and
17· · · ··before?
11· ·Q· ··(MR. RUSSELL) I want to first talk about the email
14· · · ··me?
21· ·Q· ··Why would you -- you said you agreed that that
23· · · ··that?
·2· · · ··adulterated?
·4· ·Q· ··Would you agree that the THC that results that --
·5· · · ··that they would get from such a sample would have
15· ·Q· ··So when the CRA receives this type of complaint,
·2· · · ··them.
12· ·A· ··No, sir, that is not what I stated.··I stated that
14· · · ··transcripts.
19· · · ··Correct?
22· · · ··down)
·4· · · ··case.
·6· · · ··at this point anyway the AG's Office was not
·8· · · ··contract, so . . .
12· · · ··Agency?
21· · · ··good.
·9· · · ··fine.
13· · · ··continue?
·7· ·Q· ··When you say you continued to collect data, are you
·4· · · ··noted that they were not following the approved SOP
·6· · · ··2021.
·7· ·Q· ··So when you're referring to the potency audits are
·4· · · ··Agency.
21· · · ··results.
·1· · · ··produce.
·8· · · ··if you test 100 samples, one of them will exceed 28
·9· · · ··percent.
25· · · ··correct?
15· · · ··internally.
21· ·Q· ··So over a month after you've signed these formal
·3· ·Q· ··So going up to the top, I think you referenced the
·7· · · ··it says "Some users rinse the balls of the solvent
10· ·Q· ··Now, isn't that exactly what the Viridis method was
11· · · ··doing?
·5· ·A· ··No, sir, it says "Some users rinse the balls with a
12· · · ··Lorri.
13· ·Q· ··(MR. RUSSELL) You were aware in October of 2022 the
15· · · ··correct?
18· · · ··sir.
19· ·Q· ··So it's your testimony here today that the
·5· · · ··would argue that we're concerned with the fact that
10· ·Q· ··So when the AOAC's experts testify to the fact that
16· · · ··back and forth with the AOAC where they have stated
25· ·Q· ··And that's really what it comes down to, right,
19· · · ··AOAC -- and they will testify to the fact that this
·6· · · ··certification?
12· · · ··letter?
15· ·A· ··I was made aware of the letter and the fact that it
17· ·Q· ··You were?··And who made you aware of that letter?
20· ·Q· ··Who specifically from the AOAC did you talk to
11· ·Q· ··And so is Ms. Mastovska the only person from the
18· · · ··on the AOAC, is that what I'm hearing you testify
19· · · ··to?
21· · · ··again, I'm not saying that this didn't receive some
·2· ·Q· ··I missed what you just said.··It wasn't submitted
·3· · · ··what?
13· · · ··correct?
15· ·Q· ··Okay.··And at some point did you say that it didn't
22· ·Q· ··And the CRA's technical guidance requires that all
25· ·A· ··If they are methods that have been essentially,
·4· ·A· ··For those that are peer reviewed and published by
14· ·A· ··Are you asking me specifically what they are for
18· ·A· ··Sir, I cannot list those off the top of my head.··I
21· ·Q· ··Be fair to say the CRA relies on the AOAC for
·7· ·A· ··If they are available, I believe that is what the
24· ·Q· ··What are the elements of the AOAC's Appendix K that
·7· · · ··requirements.
·3· ·A· ··If there was some requirement -- what exactly are
·5· ·Q· ··So we're talking about the -- if the lab meets all
18· · · ··asking.
19· ·Q· ··So if a method met all the items of Appendix K, the
24· ·A· ··Is -- no, the AOAC does not put instruments in
16· ·A· ··No, I don't think anyone is concerned about the use
·2· ·Q· ··Did the performance tested methods meet the AOAC's
·3· · · ··Appendix J or K?
·9· ·A· ··I am familiar with the fact that it exists, yes,
14· · · ··this thing, whatever the thing may be, in this case
15· · · ··cannabinoids.
19· ·Q· ··You list on your CV that you are an expert reviewer
24· ·Q· ··So it doesn't sound like you know much about the
25· · · ··program.
·3· ·A· ··Well, I'm -- I'm not reviewing methods under the
·6· ·Q· ··Going back to the question I asked about your CV,
17· ·Q· ··So that's false what's on your CV, that you're an
19· ·A· ··No, sir, it's part of the same title.··As I just
22· · · ··program.
·2· ·Q· ··Isn't it true that they're methods for hemp, not
·3· · · ··marijuana?
·5· ·Q· ··Now, the validation report that was provided for
25· ·A· ··It did.··But, again, it did not address the sample
·4· · · ··is still not what was submitted in the June of 2021
·7· · · ··by the SOP -- or -- yeah, the SOP that Viridis had
·9· ·Q· ··Have you seen a letter from Scott Coates from the
13· ·A· ··I believe that what that letter actually states is
18· ·Q· ··So you're saying that the letter from Scott Coates,
17· · · ··complaints?
14· · · ··correct?
25· · · ··which.
10· · · ··correct?
14· ·A· ··I don't believe so, no.··I don't think there's any
19· · · ··issue.
23· · · ··testimony?
18· ·Q· ··Do you recall that the Steadfast complaint stated
25· ·A· ··I don't recall that specifically, but that sounds
·2· · · ··complaint.
·9· · · ··bottom?
10· ·A· ··The last thing I see, sir, is "I respectfully urge
11· · · ··and beg the MRA to look at the Metrc data and do
10· ·Q· ··(MR. RUSSELL) It says at the top there "Patrice and
14· · · ··directors.
15· ·Q· ··And it appears from this email that you're reaching
18· ·A· ··No, sir, this is not guidance.··I sent this at the
25· ·Q· ··Did your directors not believe that you had the
·2· · · ··requirements?
14· ·Q· ··And the purpose of the confirmation was because the
15· · · ··CRA was taking the position that Viridis North and
·5· ·Q· ··And the issue that you're talking about are logs
·7· · · ··right?
·9· ·A· ··So they were unable to prove to us in any way that
11· ·Q· ··So my specific question is the SOP itself did not
13· · · ··correct?
14· ·A· ··Well, in a laboratory space and per ISO, you would
19· · · ··log --
21· · · ··right?
16· ·Q· ··Okay.··And Pat Bird works for the AOAC; is that
17· · · ··correct?
21· ·Q· ··And you were asking for Patrick Bird's confirmation
·2· ·Q· ··Okay.··And again you were looking for some kind of
16· ·Q· ··Let me show you what's been marked as Exhibit 57.
11· · · ··one.
·2· · · ··chain.
10· ·Q· ··(MR. RUSSELL) Ms. Patterson, I just want to ask you
23· · · ··A2LA."
·7· ·Q· ··So would it be fair to say that you were not in
17· ·Q· ··So the other responses you received were all from
19· ·A· ··I will not state that they were presidents
·5· · · ··question?
19· · · ··they are in compliance with the SOPs that they have
22· ·Q· ··In October when you were sending out these emails
·8· · · ··with the lab, so you thought you had to have some
25· ·A· ··We looked at the data, the aggregate data, from all
·3· ·Q· ··So please tell me how you -- how you went about
·8· · · ··some kind of code and input that code into Metrc in
·1· · · ··Ms. Huyser, did you have a chance to talk about the
·7· ·Q· ··(MR. RUSSELL) Ms. Patterson, I'm going to show you
19· · · ··absolutely.
·4· ·A· ··Yes, sir, that is -- that is the date that the
·7· · · ··the date range would have been August 12th, 2021,
·9· ·A· ··Is that what's listed under the test dates there?
10· ·Q· ··I believe it is.··And I'm happy to show you any
·6· · · ··download.
·1· · · ··admitted.
·3· ·Q· ··(MR. RUSSELL) Now I'm going to show you what's been
·6· · · ··bigger?
·8· · · ··document?
13· · · ··together?
15· · · ··absolutely.
21· ·Q· ··So you can't testify necessarily that the data I
22· · · ··showed you on the first sheet was what was used for
24· ·A· ··Sir, I'd have to look at the data contained within.
·2· ·Q· ··You would have used some kind of supporting data to
·5· ·Q· ··And that data would have come from Metrc; is that
·6· · · ··right?
17· ·A· ··I can't speak to that without seeing what data was
11· · · ··the date range of this, but she did recognize this,
18· · · ··or how much was pulled out or where it came from
20· · · ··link.
22· · · ··link.
·9· · · ··though.
12· ·A· ··I believe that is correct, yes, sir.··And given the
10· · · ··apply.
14· · · ··overruled.
19· · · ··document?
25· · · ··rates?
·2· ·Q· ··Okay.··And do you know -- would you have been the
·4· ·A· ··It may have been me.··It may have been the LSS
·6· · · ··us.
10· · · ··issue was the industry fail rate and where they
19· · · ··was data that was calculated after the recall was
23· ·Q· ··(MR. RUSSELL) So would you agree with me that the
·3· ·Q· ··Okay.··And would you agree with me that there was a
22· · · ··correct?
10· · · ··if you take 2 through 13 and you add them up and
23· · · ··correct.
·6· · · ··they had only two tests and they failed one, their
13· ·Q· ··Okay.··So when you just take the averages like
24· · · ··But I do believe the rest of the data that you were
16· ·A· ··I assume that they have at least some overlap and
18· ·Q· ··And would it be fair to say that there are some
·7· · · ··correct?
23· ·A· ··In that combined portion there, yes, sir, that is
24· · · ··correct.
·1· · · ··down.
·2· ·Q· ··(MR. RUSSELL) Now I'm going to show you what's been
·4· · · ··document?
·6· ·Q· ··Okay.··Do you know if you had any part in putting
·8· ·A· ··Again, I may have.··It may have been the LSS team.
12· ·Q· ··Ms. Patterson, would you agree that this document
·6· · · ··specific data was used other than the fact that it
25· · · ··these.
16· · · ··correct?
15· · · ··tests?
25· · · ··licenses.
17· ·Q· ··(MR. RUSSELL) Ms. Patterson, at some point did the
20· · · ··Michigan?
·6· ·Q· ··So similar to the prior spreadsheet except that was
·9· ·A· ··Yes, sir, that does appear to be the case based on
15· ·Q· ··Okay.··And then the CRA used that to come up with
17· ·A· ··Based on the prior Excel document that you showed
22· · · ··a lab falls way below that or way above that?
25· · · ··correct.
16· · · ··question.
19· · · ··complaint?
·8· · · ··complaint?
14· · · ··saw?
18· · · ··relevant.
·1· · · ··haven't --
22· · · ··G-A@Michigan.gov?
·3· · · ··working.
·7· · · ··admitted.
12· · · ··correct?
13· ·A· ··As we're referring back to the prior document and
·2· ·Q· ··I think we're going to have one more or two more
·3· · · ··documents.
15· · · ··have this document and one other document, and then
·6· ·Q· ··(MR. RUSSELL) Ms. Patterson, I'm showing you what's
18· ·Q· ··And how were the laboratories that conducted the
20· ·A· ··They were chosen because they were the laboratories
21· · · ··that were using the same platform that Viridis was
23· ·Q· ··Were there other laboratories that were using the
·2· · · ··results?
·4· ·Q· ··Well, were you sent an email, or was there a report
·5· · · ··in the Metrc?··How did they -- how did they report
·6· · · ··these?
10· ·Q· ··Okay.··And then if you look at the far column, the
12· · · ··sample?
14· ·Q· ··So each -- each lab that did a retest did two
15· · · ··tests?
17· ·Q· ··Okay.··So just to confirm, for both of the last two
22· ·Q· ··Okay.··So when you say you believe that is the
·5· · · ··one and one test of the other which would be two
·6· · · ··retests.
·8· ·Q· ··No, I think you're -- I just want to make sure I'm
11· · · ··just did one test of the Viridis -- the sample that
12· · · ··they received from Viridis and one test from the
25· ·Q· ··Okay.··Do you know that for a fact that that was
·2· ·A· ··I would have to look at the data to confirm that
·3· · · ··information.
·7· · · ··quickly.
18· ·Q· ··And are you familiar with this chart?··Have you
20· ·A· ··I have seen this chart before, yes.··The exact
·1· · · ··together?
·2· ·A· ··The reason that I did that was because I was
11· ·Q· ··And after your conversations with them, did you
16· · · ··instances.
10· · · ··specification.
·8· · · ··results.
·9· ·Q· ··So if the SOP does not say -- is not approved by
10· · · ··you with the actual language that says "You have to
·6· · · ··requirements?
·9· ·A· ··That's not specifically written into the SOP, but
20· · · ··know.
22· ·Q· ··So when you -- there's been some discussion both
10· ·Q· ··And what types of checks or are there checks and
16· · · ··is not editable, so then this will come over to us.
21· · · ··may look at the data and then peer review with one
15· ·Q· ··And did the same level of oversight or peer review
25· ·Q· ··Even though you're the manager, you still subject
·8· ·Q· ··And one of the things you mentioned was, again, you
10· · · ··we've talked about Metrc, and it's been thrown out
17· ·Q· ··Does the CRA have control over Metrc, or is this a
·8· ·Q· ··Can the CRA override something as far as even just
10· · · ··program?
17· · · ··ability.
25· · · ··it.
·4· · · ··it will bump the status into this no man's land
10· · · ··all the data and all the history, and we say, okay,
·1· ·Q· ··And those numbers, would they still exist even if
·4· ·Q· ··So someone could always go back and look at those
·5· · · ··numbers?
·5· · · ··clients.
·6· ·Q· ··And do they check the same thing every single time
·9· · · ··time?
13· · · ··review where they say, you know, "Do you have the
·2· · · ··requirements.
24· ·Q· ··And was that before you went back in October of
·2· ·Q· ··And did you find the same type of defects in
·4· · · ··September?
13· · · ··that you may have to order things, you may have to
10· ·Q· ··And throughout the last few days you've had some --
17· ·A· ··So there is a lot of ways that we may oversee their
15· · · ··documents.
·3· · · ··method.
·6· · · ··investigation?
10· · · ··time?
19· · · ··operating.
20· ·Q· ··And when you do audits, do you just look at one
·6· ·Q· ··And can you get a method approved during an audit?
13· · · ··will admit that during COVID that schedule was very
14· · · ··different.
·4· · · ··way that they say that they're supposed to, but
·6· · · ··similarly.
10· · · ··okay, you know, this group has one, this group has
24· · · ··but there -- when you get to the end there's the
12· · · ··exactly how many, but I know that there have been a
13· · · ··number.
14· ·Q· ··And when they submitted those methods for approval,
17· ·Q· ··And did they follow the procedure without any
18· · · ··issue?
20· ·Q· ··Did they have any trouble reaching out and asking
23· ·Q· ··And did you either accept or deny those all or
·8· ·Q· ··And when we're talking about the -- about potency,
20· ·Q· ··And, again, why -- when we're talking about June of
24· · · ··between?
19· · · ··felt like the information was kind of all over the
·1· · · ··you -- when you used that phrase earlier, what did
12· · · ··us, and it felt like, you know, every question was
·4· · · ··information.
12· · · ··method.
13· ·Q· ··And at this point in time have you ever approved a
21· ·Q· ··Were there any other changes other than the
24· ·Q· ··Is the process that was followed the same outline
·5· · · ··following?
12· · · · · · · · · · ·RECROSS-EXAMINATION
25· · · ··out?
·3· · · ··director.
10· ·A· ··It is not -- not stated explicitly in the SOP for
·4· · · ··clear.
24· · · ··you take your chances that the witness doesn't know
·7· · · ··results.
14· ·Q· ··Your testimony is that now that the violation isn't
20· · · ··to directly how those methods and those SOPs are
·1· ·Q· ··So I'm correct when I -- when I ask or when I state
·2· · · ··that it's your testimony now that Viridis North and
13· · · ··assurances?
14· ·A· ··So this was not something that we observed during
14· ·Q· ··In the June 2021 semi-annual inspection was there
18· ·Q· ··You talked -- or you testified about the A2LA doing
24· ·A· ··I believe it's annually.··I'm not sure that it's
·1· · · ··that.
23· · · ··insignificant.
·3· ·A· ··I can't speak to that because ISO, whomever the
·7· ·Q· ··When you say it hadn't been corrected yet, what
·4· ·A· ··No, I would hope that they had corrected that
·6· · · ··later.
·7· ·Q· ··Okay.··So you would agree with me that whatever the
12· ·Q· ··And would you agree with me that -- okay, let's
16· · · ··correct?
21· ·Q· ··Okay.··So you don't need the exact date, but fair
22· · · ··to say it was fairly close to when the CRA came on
24· ·A· ··I believe, yes, it was within about six weeks.
25· ·Q· ··Right.··So the A2LA comes in, notes the one
·9· · · ··correct?
13· ·Q· ··So when you came in, when you -- when the CRA came
21· ·Q· ··Okay.··So one of the things that you have -- that
24· · · ··and out logs or time books that are required, but
·4· · · ··no.
10· ·Q· ··Okay.··So you would agree, then, that the -- both
·6· ·A· ··So I will reiterate again that the quality manual,
19· · · ··SOP.
20· ·Q· ··Again, what you're describing are all what you, the
·2· · · ··outlined by both the method and the vendor and the
18· · · ··correct?
21· · · ··correct.
·5· · · ··adversarial.
·6· ·Q· ··So did you take it to mean they were being
·7· · · ··adversarial?
·8· ·A· ··I mean, in some part.··I don't think that that
20· · · ··day.··I asked her for the method that they were
·6· · · ··adversarial.
·8· · · ··of supervision for each of the LSSs and then you
16· · · ··rates, now, I'm not sure that you knew for certain
20· · · ··Metrc data and making sure that the data that was
22· · · ··accurate?
·2· · · ··followup.
·8· · · ··necessary.
16· · · ··accordingly.
·4· ·Q· ··It was asked of you, Ms. Patterson, about the July
·7· · · ··noted.
12· · · ··noted.
13· ·A· ··So during that period of time, much like compliance
19· · · ··in place, but that does not necessarily mean that
23· · · ··further.
·3· · · ··so.

10· · · ··CRA?
12· ·Q· ··Can you tell me a little bit about what your
22· ·Q· ··And tell me a little bit about what plant pathology
23· · · ··is.
24· ·A· ··So plant pathology is the study of diseases and the
15· ·Q· ··And after getting your doctorate did you continue
17· · · ··pathology?
16· · · ··well?
25· · · ··me about what you -- when you say you ran your own
·4· · · ··laboratories?
16· · · ··Michigan.··So . . .
24· ·A· ··So right -- so when I worked in MSU and all the
·7· ·A· ··So I had left some projects, and that was working
17· · · ··correctly.
20· ·Q· ··(MS. HUYSER) Okay, let me make sure I've got this
21· · · ··here.
·7· ·A· ··Sarah, if you can go back up real quick to the top
21· ·Q· ··But you -- are you still involved in those that
·2· ·A· ··So that's just a fancy word for plant pathogens.
11· · · ··admitted.
·7· · · ··ahead.
10· ·Q· ··Can you let me know how to say your last name?··I
·3· · · ··taken?
11· ·Q· ··And then when you went into -- while you were in
·4· · · ··program?
·2· · · ··based?
·3· ·A· ··I can't recall the details on what that is but it's
13· · · ··course?
21· · · ··how many dimensions did you get into?··Did you get
25· ·Q· ··Okay.··So not in -- you didn't get into the Zed
13· · · ··treatments.
16· · · ··analysis?
19· · · ··if you were to look at, say, a bell curve and show
·7· · · ··yes.
15· · · ··correct?
·1· · · ··experiments.
·4· ·Q· ··Are you able to carry this education and experience
·8· ·Q· ··Tell me how they parallel or how you see them
10· ·A· ··Well, I think, you know -- you know, I was hired in
22· · · ··you plate that out and you can enumerate those.
·3· ·Q· ··When you started in June of 2020 with the CRA did
13· · · ··my skill set and as someone who has a PhD or the
21· ·A· ··A lot of it was just, you know, going through our
·4· ·Q· ··And what are some of your job duties?··What do you
14· ·Q· ··And you said you oversee labs.··Do you have a
18· ·Q· ··Okay.··And when you say oversee, what does that
19· · · ··entail?
20· ·A· ··Well, that would just -- making sure that they're
·5· ·Q· ··And how long have they been on your list?
·8· ·Q· ··And did you start right off the bat with Viridis?
·9· ·A· ··Yeah -- well, Viridis and others and Viridis North.
12· ·Q· ··And how long did you have both Viridis
13· · · ··laboratories?
14· ·A· ··I believe since our third LSS was hired, which was
·9· · · ··sort of with the other LSS would maybe shadow them
15· · · ··locations?
17· ·Q· ··And can you describe -- tell me just the formatting
20· ·A· ··That was when still we had COVID restrictions, and
22· ·Q· ··Okay.··And were you -- who was all on this Teams
24· ·A· ··I believe it was me and -- we only had two LSSs at
·1· · · ··time.
·4· · · ··please.
·5· ·A· ··If I recall we probably did that on the same day,
·6· · · ··and it was like a morning one for one of the labs
·8· ·Q· ··And walk me through what it looks like when you --
·9· · · ··I know you said it was on Teams, so tell me, do you
·7· · · ··had just talked about how you were doing the
·2· ·A· ··So, again, it's been some time, and, obviously, I
·8· · · ··is this documented somewhere, and the lab will show
12· · · ··deficient.
13· ·Q· ··So when you say that you're looking at documents,
·3· · · ··inspection?
·4· ·A· ··I don't remember all the details on that inspection
10· · · ··there might have been some other small details that
13· · · ··report.
21· ·Q· ··So before you come into an audit slash semi-annual
25· · · ··and reviewed it, maybe not in full detail but, you
·5· ·Q· ··And did you watch them perform the potency testing?
11· ·A· ··At that time it did not look like what we had on
12· · · ··file.
13· ·Q· ··Do you recall what you had on file, what it
15· ·A· ··So I believe that one was -- and I think we're
21· · · ··I can describe them are like a big coffee grinder.
22· · · ··So you would grind all the material, and you would
·2· · · ··noted that, one, there wasn't any mention of, you
12· ·Q· ··And when you noted anything during the audit and
15· ·A· ··We did tell them that -- that -- I believe it was
·5· · · ··happening.··Okay.
·7· · · ··about that this morning when you had said that
17· ·Q· ··(MS. HUYSER) So I believe where I had left off with
18· · · ··you with the question was if you noticed that there
25· · · ··And the response back was that the method had not
·5· ·A· ··We ultimately, because they said that they, you
·7· · · ··that they were using that process, that they were
12· ·Q· ··Okay.··And was it the same for Viridis North when
14· · · ··them?
22· · · ··correct?
22· ·Q· ··Do you feel that that experience helped you be able
25· ·A· ··That and also being an editor and some of the -- in
14· · · ··say?
15· · · ··specifically.
16· ·Q· ··So are there methods -- let's say if we're talking
24· ·Q· ··So how does a lab know how to create a standard
10· ·Q· ··And what if they go through the onboarding and they
22· ·Q· ··So when you say substantial change that impacts the
·5· · · ··done and how it's performed, then you would need
18· ·Q· ··So what do you do -- what does the CRA require for
20· ·A· ··We would request, you know, the licensee submit
24· · · ··method.
·2· ·A· ··So I think you did mention and I didn't really
·7· · · ··So each one you have to follow that guidance, which
10· · · ··then there's what are called -- and the -- and also
17· · · ··required is, you know, how accurate and how precise
19· ·Q· ··And when a licensee feels that they've met all
25· ·A· ··I'm not sure about your question, Sarah, I'm sorry.
10· ·A· ··So on the licensee side there's no, hey, here's a
11· · · ··doc, they fill this form out and they want to
22· · · ··review our SOP what does the CRA do from there?
·2· · · ··that can be all the data that comes off the machine
·3· · · ··that records that data and how they would, you
·8· ·A· ··So first if they -- if they submit their method for
11· · · ··inspection?
14· · · ··audit?
17· · · ··just, hey, I'm going to watch this, no, you cannot.
18· ·Q· ··If you pass a semi-annual inspection does that mean
19· · · ··that any changes that you made to your process are
20· · · ··approved?
22· ·Q· ··Okay.··So at some point in time did you learn that
25· · · ··locations?
·5· · · ··you went in there were you aware that -- did you
15· ·A· ··But as far as what those details were, at that time
17· ·Q· ··So you went in and you observed what was going on
18· · · ··to find out what was going on; is that fair to say?
24· · · ··you said that you mentioned that you did reports
·6· · · ··easier.
12· ·A· ··I see my name's on that but I don't remember this
24· ·A· ··Well, I will say this, that at the time the
10· · · ··point.
14· · · ··that . . .
23· · · ··interrupt.
11· · · ··when you went in you weren't aware that there were
16· ·A· ··You know, I can't recall, but the date, you know,
20· ·Q· ··And even if we're not talking an exact date was it
24· ·A· ··It was probably, you know, within the next month or
10· ·Q· ··Meaning were you -- did you have any additional
25· ·Q· ··And was that during the June 2021 semi-annual
·4· · · ··hesitated.
·7· · · ··frozen --
11· · · ··point.··Goodness.
24· · · ··doing potency audits for any -- for any and all
·9· ·Q· ··And can you tell me where that number comes from?
22· ·A· ··Then that lab will be contacted, and we will ask
13· · · ··just document what they did and how they corrected
14· · · ··it and how they would do that -- how they would
18· ·Q· ··So any laboratory that was over the threshold?
24· · · ··sorry.
·1· ·A· ··So any results that come in that have those
22· · · ··correct?
·3· · · ··through.
·7· · · ··break?
25· ·Q· ··(MS. HUYSER) Okay, Dr. Rosenzweig, can you see what
·8· · · ··is?
25· · · ··have been started prior to that date, but that was
·2· · · ··or nor not my manager but at the time the manager
·4· ·Q· ··And at that point in time the manager who was doing
24· · · ··admitted.
·2· · · ··Honor.
·7· ·Q· ··(MS. HUYSER) Can you tell me, Noah, a little bit
16· ·Q· ··And at this point in time were there any -- were
20· ·A· ··I can't say that I would know definitively at that
25· ·Q· ··Okay.··But you are aware that there were complaints
·6· · · ··years.··So . . .
·7· ·Q· ··And I just want to go over just for the sake of
·9· · · ··here.··Okay?
15· ·Q· ··And did you observe him performing potency tests?
17· ·Q· ··And were they in accordance with the approved SOP?
19· ·Q· ··And when did you observe him performing those
20· · · ··tests?
21· ·A· ··At that -- during the potency prep audit at the
22· · · ··semi-annual.
·8· ·Q· ··And was this routine as far as this is the next
16· ·A· ··I believe the June was a virtual inspection, but we
16· · · ··everything.
·3· ·Q· ··(MS. HUYSER) So, Doctor -- and you did mention, I
10· · · ··notice.
·7· ·Q· ··And you said that there was an audit that was done
13· ·Q· ··So, again, when you walk into the June 2021
21· · · ··virtual?
·1· · · ··inspection . . .
·7· · · ··we have to use the yes and no because she can't
21· · · ··out our check list as the best that they can so we
23· · · ··inspection.
24· ·Q· ··So you send them a checklist to fill out ahead of
25· · · ··time?
·1· ·A· ··I don't know if I had sent it, but it is available
·3· · · ··download.
·6· · · ··inspection?
·8· ·Q· ··And as you walk through -- so tell me what you did
13· · · ··might say, you know, what we are looking for to see
21· ·Q· ··So you make sure they have everything on file, is
23· · · ··SOPs?
25· ·Q· ··And then you ask questions if you have questions
·3· ·A· ··As far as the inspection part, the pure inspection
·3· · · ··happening.
17· · · ··laboratory?
22· · · ··June.
19· · · ··Attachment 8.
10· ·A· ··The only changes were the highlighted which might
23· · · ··correct?
·4· · · ··Honor.
·6· · · ··admitted.
10· ·Q· ··(MS. HUYSER) Doctor, you stated it does state that
22· ·A· ··That is the 71A that was approved on 5/18 of 2020.
23· ·Q· ··And what type of testing does that pertain to?
25· ·Q· ··Okay.··So can you break that down to me what that
·5· · · ··not being followed and that was the deficiency that
·9· · · ··believe that this was -- that the SOP was not being
11· ·A· ··I believe this was when we audited them to perform
14· ·Q· ··Okay.··And what was the procedure that was approved
23· · · ··LOM-7.1A, and that was the one that we had on file
25· ·Q· ··Okay.··And how did what you observed in June differ
·2· ·A· ··I believe, as I said, that the initial SOP didn't
·4· · · ··how those are -- how those are handled both -- how
11· · · ··it into dust and then to kind of help that method
12· · · ··and, you know, make all the particles, you know,
20· ·Q· ··Were you concerned or have any concern about any
23· ·A· ··Well, I can't recall what our notes were, but I
·9· ·Q· ··So does that impact the accuracy of test results?
11· · · ··you added even just, you know, like say you're
13· · · ··to it, then you would probably get out of that
17· · · ··or --
25· ·A· ··This looks like that I had -- I think I asked them
·1· · · ··to -- I think both this one and the other one I
12· ·Q· ··So did you tell them this verbally, or did you put
16· ·A· ··I see that there's "Please update sampling SOP to
23· ·Q· ··So you included it and you provided this inspection
25· · · ··because that was what you were involved in, and you
·5· · · ··analysis.
·6· ·Q· ··And at any point in time did you -- were you ever
12· ·Q· ··Are you aware of any point in time that there was a
13· · · ··denial that was put out of any of the way that they
20· ·Q· ··And tell me what you know about that, please.
·1· · · ··report?
·2· ·A· ··So I think I already touched on that, but it's just
18· ·A· ··The cannabinoid analysis method name and SOP number
·4· · · ··Honor.
·6· · · ··admitted.
·9· ·Q· ··(MS. HUYSER) Doctor, as you were going through and
11· · · ··correct?
17· ·Q· ··And can you explain to me why it was not approved?
·4· · · ··laboratories?
·6· ·Q· ··And were you the one who provided it?
12· · · ··correct?
16· ·A· ··So we will -- the CRA will select a lab to host.
17· · · ··We will look through their inventory and make sure
22· · · ··the host lab is, and we will ask them to prepare
25· · · ··the other labs to come and pick up, and they will
·6· ·Q· ··And was potency one of the areas that were
19· · · ··so the one lab, the host lab, preps every -- all of
·2· · · ··portion?
12· · · ··conclusions?
17· · · ··labs.
22· · · ··Viridis?
23· ·A· ··I believe that there are just -- that the
24· · · ··numbers --
·5· · · ··Sorry.
18· · · ··he's . . .
20· · · ··okay?
11· · · ··that?
20· · · ··comes.
12· ·Q· ··And how do you arrive or how did the CRA arrive at
22· ·Q· ··And by lab, obviously, that's not just the Viridis
24· · · ··board?
·5· · · ··correct?
·7· ·Q· ··Do you recall when the -- when the high potency
13· · · ··any lab that the results were above our threshold.
14· ·Q· ··And how often was that happening with Viridis
15· · · ··laboratories?
16· ·A· ··By often you mean -- what -- the numbers or was it
19· ·A· ··So typically they were -- all labs were audited
24· · · ··how did you come -- what did you use to base this
·7· · · ··that?
·8· ·A· ··Well, at the time there was one that was out there
12· ·Q· ··And were there others that you had looked at other
21· ·Q· ··And are you confident in that number being what the
·4· · · ··ahead.
·6· ·Q· ··(MS. HUYSER) All right.··Doctor, can you see what
25· · · ··them?
·4· · · ··admitted.
·9· · · ··admitted.
12· ·Q· ··(MS. HUYSER) Now, Noah, can you walk me through,
20· · · ··to arrive at these numbers and how you created this
21· · · ··chart.
·2· ·Q· ··And did you pick a starting point, or is this over
·4· ·A· ··I believe that was from whenever we -- whenever the
12· ·A· ··So there's the total number of values, and that is
19· · · ··if I --
21· ·Q· ··So combined you would add the total for Viridis
23· ·A· ··Yeah, that's the percent that they represent of the
·2· ·A· ··That's the numbers, the raw numbers, that we used
·5· · · ··numbers.
12· · · ··is?
15· ·A· ··So that's looks like a summary of the amount over
17· ·Q· ··Okay.··So, like, the amount of tests that came over
20· ·Q· ··Okay.··And I'm just going to the end of the page to
·3· ·A· ··I wouldn't say this is a data analysis, it's just,
·7· · · ··analysis?
·8· ·A· ··So these are just like summary statistics where
15· · · ··statistics?
22· · · ··admitted.
25· ·Q· ··(MS. HUYSER) And as far as numbers, what does this
·2· ·A· ··It looks like based on the X and Y axes that it's
·9· ·A· ··Can you rephrase that question because -- you mean
20· ·Q· ··Okay.··So why are they no longer, if you know, and
24· ·A· ··I don't know the reason, I just know that I got
14· ·A· ··So it would just depend on who -- whose lab was --
15· · · ··who -- which lab and which LSS was responsible for
21· ·Q· ··And was there anything when you were working side
22· · · ··by side with her that caused you to have any
14· · · ··Exhibit 22.··And, Doctor, can you see what that is?
23· · · ··report?
·3· · · ··date.
·7· ·Q· ··(MS. HUYSER) And while you were -- when you
10· · · ··laboratory?
13· ·A· ··-- but -- probably, but then again I can't remember
15· · · ··and I.
16· ·Q· ··Absolutely.··I have put on the screen what has been
·2· · · ··top.
12· ·A· ··I believe that one is the -- can you show -- can
14· · · ··quick?
24· · · ··admitted.
·3· · · ··admitted.
11· ·Q· ··Okay.··I will share my screen and show you this
12· · · ··report.
·9· · · ··admitted.
18· ·A· ··I mean, it only means that these are likely cases
·7· ·Q· ··Okay.··Do you know why there was an on-site audit
·8· · · ··conducted?
12· · · ··me because I'm not familiar with that that means.
21· ·Q· ··And what about that process would make you think
·4· · · ··update, and that I did not make that request, but
·9· · · ··concern.
10· ·Q· ··And the response that -- when you said "they," who
20· ·A· ··And I believe what happened was there were -- and I
·4· ·A· ··I believe that it was me, Patrice Fields, another
·4· ·Q· ··So to take a step back, you guys were all there,
·7· ·Q· ··Did you -- were you each assigned a task, or did
10· · · ··we first had a meeting, then we asked to, you know,
·4· ·A· ··You mean are there similar pathogens that are
·9· · · ··plant?
13· ·A· ··So there are I believe five separate tests that are
19· · · ··of the total yeast and mold that grow in it.
·4· · · ··on total yeast but specific fungi, and those are
·7· ·Q· ··And are these things of concern if they are on the
14· · · ··diarrhea, all that fun stuff when you get food
15· · · ··poisoning.
21· ·Q· ··So when you mentioned that there were -- you
·3· ·Q· ··So did you have -- are you familiar with the
·7· ·Q· ··And tell me a little bit about what that is.··What
·1· · · ··read?
19· · · ··just take that and work that into their procedure
21· · · ··instructions.
22· ·Q· ··And in the -- for the -- the procedure for Viridis
·3· ·A· ··I would say that the warranty says that they --
·9· · · ··were -- your temperature was too high and you left
10· · · ··it for too long you would probably get more growth.
25· · · ··cycler.
·1· ·Q· ··So it's not like you could pick it up and look at
10· ·Q· ··So when you broke off to look at microbials, what
17· ·A· ··I was told that they don't document that.
18· ·Q· ··So how do they know how long something's been in
19· · · ··there?
24· ·Q· ··Did it cause you alarm or were you concerned about
·1· · · ··were not able to show you when it was in and when
·4· ·Q· ··And after you were -- you spoke and you went
·9· ·A· ··I believe there was one subsequent to the on-site,
10· · · ··yes.
·4· · · ··of.
17· · · ··and --
·6· · · ··mean?
18· · · ··have witnesses asking me how long that they can sit
23· · · ··Okay?
12· ·Q· ··(MS. HUYSER) Doctor, can you see this screen?··I
21· · · ··authored.
17· · · ··admitted.
24· · · ··investigation?
·4· · · ··October.
17· · · ··tests -- the top one looks like the number of tests
·6· · · ··admitted.
10· · · ··bit farther into these test charts that you have
14· · · ··to use the word "analyze" but the statistics or the
18· · · ··this chart came from data pulled from the statewide
23· ·A· ··So that's just how many total number of tests that
·1· ·Q· ··And what does this -- so this just tells you the
·8· ·Q· ··Okay.··And all of these that are labeled over here
12· ·Q· ··And, again, describe this chart to me, please, and
16· ·Q· ··And what do these numbers -- do these have any type
18· · · ··conclusions?
·1· ·Q· ··And how many other labs do you oversee including
·2· · · ··Viridis?
·4· ·Q· ··And with these other labs have you conducted
11· ·Q· ··Do you know of any other labs that do not?
12· ·A· ··Of the ones that I oversee I don't recall that
24· · · ··audit.
·1· · · ··correct?
·3· ·Q· ··So it's a document that you relied upon for making
25· · · ··admitted.
·3· ·Q· ··(MS. HUYSER) And this report indicates that it's a
10· · · ··17025.
16· ·Q· ··And did they put forth any type of corrective
18· · · ··that?
21· ·A· ··I believe, yes, they -- they would require that for
23· ·Q· ··And when you were there in October did you still
25· ·A· ··No, I believe at that time they were -- they did
·3· ·A· ··They were not on that sheet.··That was just for the
·4· · · ··instrumentation.
11· · · ··Lansing.
13· · · ··Lansing?
15· ·Q· ··So when you review this temperature log tell me,
18· ·A· ··I believe that the boxes that are highlighted is
22· · · ··platform.
·1· ·Q· ··So in this period of time from this looks like it
·5· · · ··range?
16· · · ··admitted.
18· ·Q· ··(MS. HUYSER) And I'm now showing you what's been
13· ·Q· ··And how does this connect to the standard operating
14· · · ··procedures?
18· · · ··that they would run this platform and just verify
20· · · ··should.
23· · · ··provided?
·8· · · ··admitted.
18· · · ··was the platform for the instrument that was being
·6· ·Q· ··(MS. HUYSER) And on this last page here I know that
·7· · · ··you have testified about the warranty and you have
25· · · ··the --
·6· ·Q· ··(MS. HUYSER) I'm going to show you what's been
·9· · · ··please?
19· ·A· ··Yes.··So the previous one was to enumerate how many
25· · · ··time and the plus or minus for the temperature same
·6· ·Q· ··Okay.··And once again does that connect back to the
12· · · ··admitted.
18· · · ··will likely let this in, I just want to make sure
·1· ·Q· ··(MS. HUYSER) And, again, the same thing, Doctor.
·3· · · ··And can you -- I'll zoom in a little bit more into
18· ·A· ··As I mentioned before for the microbial tests that
22· · · ··but there's also ones where you can just do them
23· · · ··individually.
24· ·Q· ··And once again this is connected to the same type
·8· ·Q· ··Okay.··And can you look and tell me, again, this
16· · · ··Honor.
20· ·Q· ··(MS. HUYSER) And I'm going to do the same thing
·3· ·Q· ··And, once again, that is connected back to the same
·5· ·A· ··Yes, that's correct, that was within approved use
12· · · ··admitted.
15· · · ··Honor.
19· ·Q· ··(MS. HUYSER) And for the last platform we're going
25· ·A· ··Similarly to the other four that you've shown me,
·2· · · ··the SOP that Viridis verified and were using at the
·3· · · ··time.
·4· ·Q· ··So this is the platform that's been approved and
·6· · · ··correct?
21· · · ··to microbials that there was an SOP that has been
·8· · · ··Counsel?
11· · · ··testimony.
13· · · ··will -- the record speaks for itself and will admit
18· ·A· ··Before you move on, Counselor, may I just add one
·2· · · ··say.
21· ·A· ··It looks like that was a summary of the auditor's
23· ·Q· ··And referring to that, that's the on-site that was
·1· ·Q· ··And you assisted and reviewed with the drafting of
·3· ·A· ··I don't know if I checked off on the time, but I
11· · · ··done?
12· ·A· ··Yes, I've reviewed that.··It's been some time but I
24· · · ··admitted.
·7· ·A· ··That one is the on-site audit findings from Viridis
15· ·A· ··That looks like the companion document for Viridis
·4· · · ··correct?
11· · · ··admitted.
13· ·Q· ··(MS. HUYSER) And, Doctor, I'm going to show you
17· · · ··is?
21· · · ··7.10.
24· ·Q· ··I'm going to scroll through these pages that are
12· · · ··admitted.
16· · · ··work?
17· ·A· ··That's when any sort of lab processes are not
22· ·A· ··That looks like their process to identify those and
25· · · ··requires?
·4· · · ··8th are bad too with your jury trial, Counsel,
·5· · · ··right?
·9· · · ··So . . .
