`
` Micron Technology, Inc., Micron Semiconductor Products, Inc., and

`
`Case No. IPR2022-00996
`Patent No. 11,016,918
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1), Netlist, Inc. (“Netlist”), submits the
`
`following objections to evidence accompanying Petitioner’s Reply. These
`
`objections are timely under 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1) because they are being filed
`
`within five (5) business days of service of Petitioner's Reply evidence on June 20,
`
`
`
`2023.
`
`I.
`
`Objections to EX1077
`
`Netlist objects to Exhibit 1077 as apparently being incomplete under Federal
`
`Rule of Evidence (FRE) 106.
`
`Netlist objects to Exhibit 1077 as hearsay, irrelevant, and lacking
`
`foundation. Netlist objects to Exhibit 1077 as hearsay under FRE 801 to the extent
`
`that Petitioner is attempting to use Exhibit 1077 as evidence to prove the truth of
`
`the matters asserted therein. Netlist further objects to Exhibit 1077 because
`
`Petitioner has not established the relevance of this exhibit under FRE 401 to any
`
`material issues in this proceeding and any probative value would be substantially
`
`outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice, confusing the issues, undue delay,
`
`and wasting time. Netlist further objects to Exhibit 1077 because it does not fall
`
`within the categories of documents considered self-authenticating under FRE 902
`
`and Petitioner has not produced evidence sufficient to support a finding that
`
`Exhibit 1077 is what Petitioner says it is.

`
`II. Objections to EX1078
`
`
`
`Netlist objects to Exhibit 1078 as hearsay, irrelevant, and lacking
`
`foundation. Netlist objects to Exhibit 1078 as hearsay under FRE 801 to the extent
`
`that Petitioner is attempting to use Exhibit 1078 as evidence to prove the truth of
`
`the matters asserted therein. Netlist further objects to Exhibit 1078 because
`
`Petitioner has not established the relevance of this exhibit under FRE 401 to any
`
`material issues in this proceeding and any probative value would be substantially
`
`outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice, confusing the issues, undue delay,
`
`and wasting time. Netlist further objects to Exhibit 1078 because it does not fall
`
`within the categories of documents considered self-authenticating under FRE 902
`
`and Petitioner has not produced evidence sufficient to support a finding that
`
`Exhibit 1078 is what Petitioner says it is.
`
`Netlist reserves the right to present further objections to these or additional
`
`exhibits submitted by Petitioner, as allowed by the applicable rules or other
`
`
`
`authority.
