Re: Reeves v. Wyeth, 4:05-CV-00163 -- Wyeth’s Goodness

Dear Counsel:

The two things listed in next to last paragraph of Ms. Duggan’s letter of July 26, 2006,1

 will be

considered if we reach the punitive damage issue -- not now.

It seems to me that Wyeth should be able to present evidence as to how long it has been in business,

how many employees it has, and generally “what it does for a living.”

On the other hand it seems to me that items such as the ones mentioned in points “III”, “IV”, and

“V” would open the door for many of the things set forth in Ms. Littlepage’s response letter of July

26, 2006.2

It seems to me that the “time line for development and approval of prescription drugs” would be

appropriate.

“The promising types of drugs that Wyeth currently has in the development pipeline” would seem

to open the door too.

In fine, unless, Wyeth wants to risk opening doors, I think it should be very conservative in

presenting an overview of Wyeth. And this approach will help insure that we confine the trial to the

specific issues presented by the pleadings in this case.

Cordially,

/s/ Wm. R.Wilson,Jr. 

Original to the Clerk of the Court
