Filing 266 ORDER granting in part and denying in part 265 Letter Motion for Local Rule 37.2 Conference. In a joint letter dated May 8, 2019, the parties raise three discovery disputes related to forthcoming depositions of Plaintiffs' consultant experts (ECF No. 265). With respect to the scope of the depositions, this Court's April 4, 2019 Memorandum & Order and colloquy during the April 1, 2019 oral argument could not be clearer. BHH's questions should be limited to authentication is sues. Next, Plaintiffs may use the consultants' depositions at trial to authenticate exhibits. Thus, to the extent the witnesses are beyond 100 miles from the courthouse, and their absences are not procured by Plaintiffs, their depositions ma y be used at trial. Finally, Plaintiffs' application with respect to whether Styer and Mankin may be deposed is granted in part and denied in part. First, Plaintiffs argue that the testimony of Styer, the Executive Director of i2L laboratory, i s needlessly duplicative of Timothy Foard's, the Study Director responsible for conducting the tests in question. This Court agrees. Once again, these depositions are limited to authentication issues. It is not necessary for two witnesses to authenticate the same documents. Accordingly, BHH may not depose Styer. Second, Plaintiffs argue that Mankin's testimony is unnecessary because he has firsthand knowledge of only two exhibits, both of which Plaintiffs do not seek to offer into evidence. However, it is unclear how Plaintiffs plan on using these documents, and this Court left open the issue of whether Plaintiff's efficacy expert can testify about the Representative and Similarity Opinions. Given that a deposition intended to authenticate only two documents will not be burdensome, the Mankin deposition may proceed. The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate the motion pending at ECF No. 265. (Signed by Judge William H. Pauley, III on 5/8/2019) (tro) |
