September 8, 2016 Opinion or Order Filing 213 MEMORANDUM ORDER - The parties filed requests to seal certain exhibits and portions of their memoranda in order to preserve the confidentiality of financial data disclosed in the documents. (ECF Nos. #169 , #182 ). The motions to seal complied with Local Rule 5, both were noticed for hearing and no party or non-party objected to sealing. Because the unreduced public versions of the memoranda and exhibits adequately inform the public regarding the nature of the dispute, and the sealed documents relate to a non-dispositive evidentiary ruling, the court GRANTS both motions and will maintain the documents under seal for purposes of this motion only. (See Order for Specific Details) Two motions in this copyright infringement case attack the proffered testimony of Plaintiffs' damages expert, Jason A. Deans. Defendants' Motion to Exclude Deans is DENIED, but the motion to strike the portions of his report based on the unreliable and irrelevant tour revenue figures is GRANTED. Copies distributed to all parties. Signed by Magistrate Judge Douglas E. Miller on 9/8/2016. (cchr)
September 8, 2016 Opinion or Order Filing 212 MEMORANDUM ORDER re #152 Joint MOTION to Exclude the Reports and Testimony of Paul Arnold. This copyright infringement case is before the court on Defendants' Joint Motion to Exclude the Reports and Testimony of Paul Arnold (ECF No. #152 ). Defendants argue that the court should exclude Arnold's reports and testimony because he is not qualified as an expert, he used improper methods to formulate his expert reports, and his reports contain improper legal conclusions. Defs.' Br. (ECF No. 153). Plaintiffs argue that Arnold's experience as a recording engineer and producer render him qualified to offer expert testimony and that his opinions would assist the jury in evaluating the similarity between their copyrighted work and allegedly infringing songs. After reviewing Arnold's deposition and reports, I conclude that - though possessed of specialized knowledge - Arnold's analysis in this case is limited to "listening the way an average person would" and thus not likely to assist the factfinder. Arnold Dep. (ECF No. 129-17, at 11). Accordingly, for the reasons outlined below (See Order for Specifics), the court GRANTS Defendants' Motion (ECF No. #152 ) and excludes Arnold's testimony and reports. Copies distributed to all counsel. Signed by Magistrate Judge Douglas E. Miller on 9/8/2016. (cchr)
