`NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
`
`GOOGLE LLC,
`
`
`
`Plaintiff,
`
`v.
`
`SONOS, INC.,
`
`No. C 20-06754 WHA
`
`
`
`ORDER RE DAUBERT MOTIONS
`
`Defendant.
`
`
`
`
`The parties requested clarification as to any limitations on Daubert briefing (Dkt. No. 285
`
`at 1 n.1). The answer is that Daubert motions are not treated differently than any other motion
`
`in limine and will be argued at the pretrial conference. The Court will not hold a separate
`
`Daubert hearing. As the Court’s standing order on civil jury trials explains, “[u]sually five or
`
`fewer” motions in limine “per side is sufficient at the conference stage” (see ¶ 2(f)). Daubert
`
`motions are included in the count and are treated as motions in limine. The order also states that
`
`“[e]ach motion should address a single topic, be separate, and contain no more than seven pages
`
`of briefing per side” (ibid.). All motions in limine including Daubert motions should be short
`
`and to the point.
`
`IT IS SO ORDERED.
`
`Dated: June 16, 2022.
