November 12, 2019 Filing 73 Judge Allison D. Burroughs: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered. SharkNinja seeks to re-depose iRobot's expert, Dr. Charles Reinholtz, on the opinions expressed in his reply expert report [ECF No. #69 ] on the ground that the report contains "new infringement and validity opinions." [ECF No. #70 at 2]. Although new opinions may be a basis for reopening an expert deposition following a rebuttal report, SharkNinja has not established that the opinions expressed in Dr. Reinholtz's reply report are in fact new or that they were not already the subject of Dr. Reinholtz's deposition. See Presidio Components, Inc. v. Am. Tech. Ceramics Corp., No. 08-cv-00335, 2009 WL 861733, at *5 (S.D. Cal. Mar. 25, 2009) (finding no good cause for second deposition of expert following submission of rebuttal report that "addresse[d] the '356 patentthe same subject about which he gave a declaration and deposition previously); see also Bentley v. Highlands Hosp. Corp., No. 7:15-CV-97-ART-EBA, 2016 WL 7976041, at *1 (E.D. Ky. June 23, 2016) (noting that a second deposition of a previously deposed witness who was later designated as an expert was "presumptively duplicative... where Plaintiff has not identified any specific fact or opinion in [the expert's] subsequent disclosure which remains uncovered or was not addressed during his deposition"). Similarly, SharkNinja's vague and generic assertion that the reply expert report contains "new infringement and validity opinions" is also not grounds for striking the report. [ECF No. #70 at 4]. Accordingly, SharkNinja's motion to compel [ECF No. #70 ] is DENIED without prejudice. (McDonagh, Christina)
