ROUND ROCK RESEARCH, LLC,

Re: Dkt. No. 60

Defendant.

United States District Court
Northern District of California

The court has received the joint letter from counsel dated April 8, 2013 regarding the

14

conduct of the technology tutorial scheduled for April 16, 2013. In the letter, the parties dispute

15

whether they should be permitted to present expert testimony during the technology tutorial. The

16

Plaintiff would like to do so; the Defendant would prefer that no one do.

17

Having reviewed the parties' arguments, it appears that Defendant has reasonably relied on

18

the Court's prior scheduling order, which stated that the technology tutorial would "be conducted

19

by counsel only, not experts." Dkt. No. 34, ¶ 4.

20

No party having raised the issue with the Court until now, and the Court having not invited

21

expert testimony, and with the hearing now only a week away, the Court concludes that the fairest

22

outcome is to affirm the restriction in the Court's original order. The technology tutorial will be

23

conducted by counsel only.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
