DEFENDANTS' MOTION TO COMPEL DEPOSITION TESTIMONY UNDER RULE 30(b )(6)
Pursuant to Federal Rules of

Civil Procedure 37(a)(2)(B) and 30(b)(6), defendants

F. Hoffan-La Roche Ltd, Roche Diagnostics GmbH, and Hoffman-La Roche Inc.

(collectively "Roche"), respectfully submits this motion to compel Amgen, Inc. to
immediately designate witnesses for topics 1-4,6-10 and 26-27 of

Roche's First Notice

of

Deposition to Amgen Pursuant to Rule 30(b)(6).

Amgen has thrown up disingenuous and unsupported objections to Roche's

notice, and refused to designate any witnesses (or adequate witnesses) for the above

topics. Instead of seeking a protective order, Amgen has unilaterally sought to deny or
restrict Roche's fact discovery efforts.
Amgen's conduct

jeopardizes Roche's abilty to take complete Rule 30(b)(6)

testimony before the April 2 fact discovery deadline.
