Case No. 2:05-CV-02433-JWL-DJW

SPRINT'S RESPONSE TO VONAGE'S MOTION TO PRECLUDE THE TESTIMONY OF THE HONORABLE GERALD J. MOSSINGHOFF By its August 21, 2007 Order (Doc. No. 308), the Court signaled its intent to play, at trial, an instructional video prepared by the Federal Judicial Center. The video is designed to help jurors understand what patents are, why they are needed, how inventors get them, the role of the PTO, and why disputes over patents arise. Having reviewed the video and having no objections to it, Sprint no longer believes that the testimony of Mr. Mossinghoff is necessary in this action. If defendants Vonage Holdings Corp. and Vonage America, Inc. (collectively "Vonage") do not object to the Court's decision to play the Federal Judicial Center video, Sprint will withdraw Mr. Mossinghoff from its witness list and will not call Mr. Mossinghoff at trial. Pursuant to this representation, Sprint respectfully requests that the Court find moot Vonage's motion to preclude the testimony of Mr. Mossinghoff. Should Vonage raise and the Court
