UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SANDRIKA MEDLOCK, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

TACO BELL CORP., et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:07-cv-01314-SAB

ORDER SETTING DAUBERT HEARING 

DATE: December 9, 2015

TIME: 2:00 pm

CTRM: 9

STANLEY A. BOONE

U.S. MAGISTRATE JUDGE

On October 19, 2015, Defendants filed a motion to exclude the expert report and 

testimony of Michael O’Brien, an expert retained by Plaintiffs in this matter, pursuant to Federal 

Rules of Evidence 403 and 702 and Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 509 U.S. 579 

(1993) and its progeny. Defendants argue that the testimony is unreliable and unfairly 

prejudicial. (ECF No. 551.) 

On December 2, 2015, the Court held a hearing on Defendants’ motion to exclude the 

expert report and testimony of Michael O’Brien. After reviewing the motion, the opposition, 

hearing the argument of counsel and applying the necessary standard, the Court finds that a 

Daubert hearing is appropriate as to Plaintiffs’ expert witness Michael O’Brien. 

Accordingly, 

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the parties shall appear for a Daubert hearing as to
