SYNCHRONOSS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.,

Plaintiff,

v.

DROPBOX INC., et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 4:16-cv-00119-HSG (KAW)

ORDER TERMINATING 2/22/19 JOINT 

LETTER

Re: Dkt. No. 273

On February 22, 2019, the parties filed a joint letter, in which Synchronoss seeks to 

preclude Dropbox from relying on the Opening Expert Report of Gregor Purdy. (Joint Letter, Dkt. 

No. 273 at 1.) Therein, Synchronoss argues that Mr. Purdy’s opinions fall outside the scope of 

expert testimony, such that he should have been disclosed in advance of the fact discovery 

deadline. Id. Dropbox disagrees, and contends that Mr. Purdy’s testimony is proper expert 

testimony. Id.

This dispute, however, is a motion in limine fashioned as a discovery dispute, so it is not 

ripe for adjudication. Accordingly, the joint letter is TERMINATED. The parties may refile this 

dispute as a motion in limine before the presiding judge should the case proceed to trial.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 8, 2019
