v.

United States District Court

No. C 10-03561 WHA

ORACLE AMERICA, INC.,

12

The November 11 letter from plaintiff’s counsel (Dkt. No. 614) is deemed a motion to

13

compel depositions of the interviewees upon whom defendant’s “spoon-fed” damages experts

14

relied. Having considered defendant’s response (Dkt. No. 615), the motion is GRANTED IN PART

15

as follows.

16

All but one of the seven interviewees have been deposed or offered for deposition already,

17

so there is less need for doing it again. Plaintiff may select a total of three of the seven

18

interviewees and depose each for two hours without break. Defendant must produce at the

19

deposition any materials used by the deponent in supplying information to the experts. No other

20

materials need be produced. The questioning shall be limited to the subject of the interviews and

21

the information provided to the expert and its accuracy.

22

By NOON ON NOVEMBER 15, 2011, plaintiff must designate the three individuals it will

23

depose. By NOON ON NOVEMBER 17, 2011, defendant then must identify the times and locations

24

where those individuals will be made available for deposition. The depositions must be

25

completed by NOVEMBER 22, 2011. All depositions shall take place within the Bay Area.

26

IT IS SO ORDERED.
