ORDER

 On its own motion, the Court will set a Daubert1 evidentiary hearing in

conjunction with Defendant Protient’s Motion for Summary Judgment or, Alternatively,

Motion to Preclude Expert Testimony, (docket # 74), and consistent with its “responsibility

of ensuring that proferred scientific evidence is both relevant and reliable.” Clausen v. M/V

the mutually agreed-upon date is Friday, August 10, 2007.

2007 beginning at 9:30 a.m.

expert's methodology was properly applied to the facts of this case rests with the proffering

party. Domingo v. T.K. M.D., 289 F.3d 600, 607 (9th Cir. 2002); Lust v. Merrell Dow
