Case No. C-07-5944-SC

ORDER DENYING DEFENDANTS' 

REQUEST FOR A DAUBERT 

HEARING

This Order Relates To:

ALL INDIRECT-PURCHASER ACTIONS

The parties in the above-captioned action are currently 

briefing their Objections to and Motions to Adopt the Interim 

Special Master's Report and Recommendations Regarding Defendants' 

Motion to Strike the Proposed Expert Testimony of Dr. Janet S. 

Netz. In a letter to the Court, Defendants jointly requested a 

Daubert hearing in connection with their Motion to Strike. ECF No. 

1787. The Indirect-Purchaser Plaintiffs responded, stating that an 

additional hearing would be unnecessary. ECF No. 1796.

The Court declines to set an additional hearing on this 

matter. A hearing is not mandatory, and holding one would be 

inefficient and unproductive. The parties have already had a full

For the Northern District of California

hearing before the Interim Special Master, the results of which are

detailed in a Report and Recommendation and an uncommonly thorough 

record. Further, before their hearing, the parties agreed that no 

live testimony was necessary. 

Finally, the parties have already disputed the schedule and 

briefing guidelines for this matter. ECF No. 1760. The Court 

resolved that issue weeks ago. ECF No. 1761. As stated then, the 

Court will consider this matter submitted after the parties 

complete their briefs.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
