ORDER REGARDING
PROPOSED ASSIGNMENT
ORDER FOR RULE 706 EXPERT
GOOGLE INC.,
Defendant.

The proposed order regarding the assignment for the Rule 706 expert (Dkt. No. 393) is
17
acknowledged. The parties are requested to submit a revised version of the proposed order in
18
accordance with the following guidance.
19
First, precise deadlines should be set for the completion of Dr. Kearl’s expert report and
20
deposition. As stated in the August 30 order appointing Dr. Kearl, his assignment should be
21
planned such that it can be completed by early December in preparation for a possible damages
22
trial at that time. Allowing a nebulous “reasonable period of time” for completion of those tasks
23
would risk undue delay. The Court may consider altering the deadlines for Dr. Kearl’s report and
24
deposition in light of future case developments, but in the meantime a workable schedule must be
25
established and followed.
26
Second, Dr. Kearl’s role as a Rule 706 expert will be to inform the jury on the issue of
27
damages, not to advise the Court. The assignment order should not make reference to Dr. Kearl
28
assisting the Court.

Third, counsel are requested to proofread the proposed order carefully and correct all
typographical errors such as missing words.
The revised version of the proposed order should be filed by SEPTEMBER 8, 2011.
