IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MEDTRONIC INC,

Plaintiff,

 v.

GEOFFREY WHITE,

Defendant.

 /

No. C 04-02201 JSW

ORDER STRIKING DR. WHITE’S

PRELIMINARY SUBMISSION TO

THE COURT RE STATUS

CONFERENCE ON JURY TRIAL

ISSUES

The Court has received Dr. White’s preliminary submission to the Court regarding the status

conference on jury trial issues, in which he has responded to the questions that the Court intended to

address at the status conference. Those questions were not an invitation to provide written answers in

advance of the hearing nor an invitation to provide supplemental briefing on the matters addressed in

the parties’ previously submitted briefs.

Accordingly, because Dr. White did not seek leave of the Court to file this preliminary

response, the Court shall not consider it and shall strike it from the record. Medtronic and L.A.

Biomed are ORDERED not to file a written response but, rather, to save their arguments for the status

conference.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: July 6, 2005 /s/ Jeffrey S. White
