Exclude the Opinions and Testimony of David Lauer (ECF 651) and John D. Finnerty (ECF 643)
and Memorandum of Law in Support of their Motion to Strike Plaintiffs’ New Damages Model,
and Declaration of Douglas W. Henkin in support thereof (the “Omnibus Brief and Declaration”).
Defendants’ Sur-reply and Omnibus Brief and Declaration will be filed later today, November 12,
2021.
The Sur-reply and Omnibus Brief and Declaration cite, discuss, quote, and attach certain
documents and expert materials (the “Protected Materials”) that were (i) designated as
