No. C 10-03561 WHA

Defendant requests leave to file a motion to strike portions of the opening expert report by

16

John C. Mitchell (Dkt. No. 377). Plaintiff opposes (Dkt. No. 380). The request is GRANTED to

17

the following extent. Defendant may file a motion to strike that is limited to ten pages and three

18

points of critique. The three points of critique may not be categories of critique with multiple

19

items crammed in; rather, the motion should identify three specific items in the report that

20

supposedly were not timely disclosed. The motion will be briefed and heard on the normal

21

35-day schedule. The opposition brief may not exceed fifteen pages, and the reply brief may not

22

exceed five pages. Supporting declarations must be short with few exhibits. If defendant

23

succeeds on the motion, then defendant may be allowed to file an additional motion or motion in

24

limine concerning other objectionable items in the Mitchell report.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
