  2. Pyzynski v. Thomas & Betts Corp.

    MOTION to Strike Defendant's Expert Witness

    Filed September 21, 2017

    " See, e.g., Kondragunta v. Ace Doran Hauling & Rigging Co., No. 11-1094, 2013 WL 1189493, at *9 (N.D. Ga. Mar. 21, 20 13). Therefore, to the extent any treating physician offers opinions based on facts gathered from you, the documents or pleadings in this case, or any other source other than the physician's own recollection of treating Plaintiff, Thomas & Betts will object on the basis that there is no written report required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(2)(B) by the deadline in the Scheduling Order. Additionally, Plaintiff has disclosed eleven treating physicians as experts who may testify at trial in this case. To the extent Plaintiff does not call any of the listed physicians to testify at trial, or to the extent the Court prohibits any of the listed physicians from testifying at the trial in this matter because they did not provide a written report, Thomas & Betts will object to the recovery of related attorney's fees or costs. Regarding a related matter, we sent an email on Friday, July 28, 2017, asking for supplementation to Plaintiff's discovery responses with the documents and information contained on the flash drive in Plaintiff's possession referenced by Plaintiff in his deposition.

  4. Complete Entertainment Resources LLC v. Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. et al

    OPPOSITION to MOTION IN LIMINE

    Filed October 2, 2017

    United States v. Antonakeas, 255 F.3d 714, 724 (9th Cir. 2001); see also Wegener v. Johnson, 527 F.3d 687, 690–91 (8th Cir. 2008) (rejecting argument that witness should be excluded under Rule 26 and explaining that “[t]o attack the credibility of witnesses by the presentation of evidence showing that facts asserted or relied upon in their testimony are false is to impeach by contradiction”). At a minimum, then, Rule 26(a)(1)(A)(i) entitles Defendants to call the Witnesses for purposes of impeaching Mr. Yurkerwich’s flawed damages calculation by contradiction. This Court should reject Songkick’s attempt to keep the jury from learning that Mr. Yurkerwich’s estimate of nearly $130 million in lost profits is squarely contradicted by easily knowable facts. // // // // // // // // // // Case 2:15-cv-09814-DSF-AGR Document 361 Filed 10/02/17 Page 17 of 22 Page ID #:52199 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 ATTORNEYS AT LAW SAN FRANCISCO 14 DEFENDANTS AND COUNTER-CLAIMANT’S OPPOSITION TO PLAINTIFF’S MOTION IN LIMINE NO. 2 CASE NO. 2:15-CV-09814 DSF (AGRX) IV.

  10. realZOOM LLC v. L Brands, Inc. et al

    MOTION to Strike Untimely Expert Disclosure of Steven Laff and Mark Ormston and Preclude Their Testimony

    Filed July 30, 2018

    ) Apparently, Plaintiff intends to have both Case 2:17-cv-00118-RWS Document 82 Filed 07/30/18 Page 12 of 21 PageID #: 1440 9 witnesses testify as experts as to any topic relating to infringement, validity, and damages. (Id.) Further, Plaintiff’s attempt to satisfy the requirements of Rule 26(a)(2)(C)(ii) with respect to these topics falls far short of satisfying Plaintiff’s disclosure obligations. Regarding damages, the Late Disclosure merely recites the Georgia Pacific factors, and states that “the facts and opinions will include particularly these witnesses’ personal knowledge and familiarity with the facts relevant to a consideration of the Georgia-Pacific factors for setting a reasonable royalty.”
