`
`DEFENDANT SONICWALL, INC.’S WITNESS LIST
`
`United States District Court for the Northern District of California
`(San Jose Division)
`
`Finjan LLC v. SonicWall, Inc.
`
`Case No. 5:17-cv-04467-BLF
`
`Trial Date – May 3, 2021
`
`Pursuant to Rule 26(a)(3)(A)(i) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Judge Freeman’s
`
`Standing Order Regarding Civil Jury Trials, and the parties’ agreed schedule for pre-trial
`
`exchanges, Defendant SonicWall, Inc. (“SonicWall”) hereby discloses the following witnesses for
`
`the trial of this matter. These disclosures are made, in part, based on the Order Approving the
`
`Stipulation Regarding Prior Depositions (Dkt. No. 236) and based on information that is
`
`reasonably available to SonicWall at this time and at this stage of the proceedings. Further
`
`investigation and analysis may yield additional information regarding witnesses for this matter.
`
`As additional information becomes available, SonicWall reserves the right to supplement, revise,
`
`correct, clarify, or otherwise amend these disclosures.
`
`These disclosures are made without waiver of and without prejudice to any objections
`
`SonicWall may have regarding the subject matter of these disclosures or individuals identified
`
`herein. SonicWall reserves all such objections. Further, SonicWall disagrees with Finjan’s
`
`objections to SonicWall’s witness list and believes it has properly identified Messrs. Noonan,
`
`Daar, and Hawkes.
`
`FINJAN’S OBJECTIONS TO SONICWALL’S MAY CALL WITNESS LIST
`
`Finjan objects to SonicWall presenting deposition testimony from Michael Noonan, under
`
`Fed. R. Evid. 801–802 and Fed. R. Civ. P. 32. Mr. Noonan was not deposed in this matter. To
`
`the extent SonicWall seeks to present Mr. Noonan’s testimony from the Finjan v. Cisco case, the
`
`
`
`Case 5:17-cv-04467-BLF Document 372-2 Filed 03/04/21 Page 3 of 8
`
`parties have expressly stipulated to permit certain deposition testimony from that case to be used
`
`in this matter (Dkt. 235), but that stipulation does not include Mr. Noonan’s testimony.
`
`Finjan objects to SonicWall presenting testimony from Evan Daar under Fed. R. Civ. P.
`
`26(a) and 37(c). SonicWall failed to disclose Mr. Daar as a potential witness in its initial
`
`disclosures in this matter.
`
`Finjan objects to SonicWall presenting testimony from Eric Hawkes under Fed. R. Civ. P.
`
`26(a) and 37(c). SonicWall failed to disclose Mr. Hawkes as a potential witness in its initial
`
`disclosures in this matter.
`
`Finjan further objects to SonicWall’s presentation of deposition testimony from other
`
`witnesses to the extent it is unable to show that such deposition testimony is admissible under Fed.
`
`R. Civ. P. 32 and/or Fed. R. Evid. 804.
`
`Finjan reserves all objections to the substance of the witnesses’ testimony.
`
`WITNESSES SONICWALL EXPECTS TO CALL
`
`SonicWall presently expects to present the following witnesses at the trial of this matter,
`
`subject to SonicWall’s rights to modify this list according to the developments in the case, rulings
`
`of the Court, and in response to Finjan’s case in chief. The estimated length of each witness’s
`
`testimony will depend on the circumstances of the case; therefore, SonicWall reserves the right to
`
`modify the estimated lengths as necessary.
