`

`
`
`
`
`STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER REGARDING
`OBJECTIONS TO EXPERT REPORTS
`
`
`
`WHEREAS, the Amended Scheduling Order requires that “[i]f a party believes that an
`
`expert report does not comply with the rules relating to timely disclosure or exceeds the scope of
`
`what is permitted in that expert report, the complaining party must notify the offending party within
`
`one (1) week of the submission of the expert report” (D.I. 266 ¶ 2(a));
`
`WHEREAS, the Amended Scheduling Order further provides that “[t]he parties are
`
`expected to promptly try to resolve any such disputes and, when they cannot reasonably be
`
`resolved, use the Court’s Discovery Dispute Procedure or the complaint will be waived”;
`
`WHEREAS, the parties exchanged opening expert reports on June 14, 2024 and objections
`
`consistent with Paragraph 2(a) of the Amended Scheduling Order (D.I. 266) on June 21, 2024;
`
`WHEREAS, Netflix, Inc. (“Netflix”) has also raised an issue concerning Robocast, Inc.’s
`
`(“Robocast”) production of expert reports from Mr. Hoffman, from a prior related litigation,
`
`which, in Netflix’s view, bear on the parties’ expert reports;
`
`WHEREAS, the parties met and conferred on July 9, 2024 regarding the objections
`
`exchanged on June 21, 2024 and Robocast’s production of expert reports from prior related
`
`litigations;
`
`
`
`
`
`Case 1:22-cv-00305-JLH Document 313 Filed 07/30/24 Page 2 of 3 PageID #: 16136
`
`
`
`WHEREAS, the parties exchanged rebuttal reports on July 11, 2024 and are due to
`
`exchange reply reports on August 6, 2024; and
`
`WHERAS, the parties conferred and believe that presenting disputes on opening, rebuttal,
`
`and reply reports at the same time will be more convenient and efficient for the Court and should
`
`not result in a waiver of timely-raised objections;
`
`IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, by and between the parties hereto, and
`
`subject to the approval of the Court, that the parties shall continue to comply with the deadlines in
`
`Paragraph 2(a) of the Amended Scheduling Order with respect to the exchange of objections and
`
`the obligation to promptly meet and confer but that any objections to expert reports, including
`
`those already disclosed and addressed above, should be raised together through the Court’s
`
`Discovery Dispute Procedures no later than August 23, 2024. The parties agree that abiding by
`
`the terms of this Stipulation and Order will not result in a waiver of any objections.
`
`IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED AND AGREED, by and between the parties hereto, and
`
`subject to the approval of the Court, that, to the extent either side raises issues with more than one
`
`round of reports (i.e., opening, rebuttal, and reply), the parties’ opening and responsive
`
`submissions shall be permitted to be six (6) pages each.
