The Court dismissed the appeal because the judge below properly exercised his case management discretion in refusing leave to serve the supplemental statement and hearsay notice: the proposed statement changed the witness's evidence rather than clarifying it, would create conflicting written evidence and prejudice the trial judge's ability to resolve facts, and such matters should be dealt with at trial; appellate interference was unwarranted.
