jointly or separately at the discretion of the SOM. Witnesses may be heard separately from each other. Each party must be given
the opportunity to hear, read, and view review and consider all evidence presented to the SOM, including but not limited to
videos, but excepting therefrom the items subject to a mechanical protest (or photos/videos of said items). A party is entitled to
