`Re: Finjan, Inc. v. Juniper Networks, Inc., Case No. 3:17-cv-05659-WHA
`
`Dear Judge Alsup:
`
`Finjan writes in response to Juniper’s letter (Dkt # 232) filed this morning regarding
`Finjan’s motions in limine (“MIL”). Juniper raised this issue with Finjan yesterday claiming
`that all four of Finjan’s MILs violated the Court’s Guidelines that “[e]ach motion should
`address a single topic.” Finjan informed Juniper its MILs did follow the Court’s Guideline
`and only addressed a single topic, but that Finjan was willing to meet and confer on the
`issue. Specifically, Finjan informed Juniper as follows:
`
`Each of Finjan’s MILs relates to a single topic:
`
`MIL #1 – Juniper’s Late Disclosures
`MIL #2 – Rubin’s Improper Arguing of Claim Construction
`MIL #3 – Rubin’s Improper Opinions on Prejudicial Material
`MIL #4 – Juniper’s Improper Introduction of Prejudicial Material
`
` •
`
`
`•
`•
`•
`
`Juniper choose not to meet and confer with Finjan, but instead filed its letter.
`Apparently, Finjan’s email response persuaded Juniper that Finjan’s first two MILs followed
`the Court’s Guideline, as Juniper only requests relief on MILs #3 and #4.
`
`Finjan’s MIL #3 seeks to preclude Juniper’s expert Dr. Rubin form testifying
`regarding prejudicial materials in his three expert reports. The single topic of Dr. Rubin’s
`inappropriate opinions spread out over three expert reports does not consist of five
`separate topics as Juniper complains, but instead identifies five different instances where
`Dr. Rubin provided such inappropriate opinions. Under Juniper’s interpretation of the
`Court’s Guideline, parties would be required to file a MIL on every instance where an
`expert sought to introduce a host of inappropriate opinions instead of tackling this single
`issue in a single MIL.
`
`The same is true of MIL #4 relating to Juniper’s introduction of prejudicial material
`at trial. The single issue to preclude irrelevant and prejudicial material identifies three
`different examples of such prejudicial material, but does not consist of three separate
`topics.

`
`
`
`Finjan request the Court deny Juniper’s request to require multiple MILs where a
`single MIL addresses the one issue that Finjan seeks to be precluded.
