EX PARTE APPLICATION

Defendant Nibco, Inc., by and through its counsel of record, hereby applies ex parte to 

the Court for leave to file an opposition brief not to exceed 35 pages to the plaintiffs’ motion to 

exclude testimony of Dr. Gerald Barrett. This Ex Parte Application is based upon the 

Declaration of William C. Hahesy submitted below. For the reasons set forth below, defendant 

Nibco requests the Court permit it leave to file its opposition brief not to exceed 35 pages. 

DECLARATION OF WILLIAM C. HAHESY

I, WILLIAM C. HAHESY, declare: 

1. I am an attorney duly admitted to practice law before all courts of the State of 

California and the United States District Court, Eastern District of California, and I am one of 

the attorneys of record for defendant Nibco, Inc in the above-reference matter. 

2. I have personal knowledge of the following matters, except those stated on 

information and belief, and as to those matters I believe true, and if called as a witness in this 

proceeding, after being duly sworn, I could and would competently testify thereto. 

3. I am submitting this Declaration in opposition to the Motion by plaintiffs to 

exclude the testimony of Dr. Gerald Barrett. 

4. In connection with that motion, the plaintiffs filed a memorandum of points and 

authorities that is nearly 26 pages in length, an appendix in support of authorities that includes 

three cases, and a declaration that attaches 8 separate exhibits which are approximately 11⁄2 to 2 

inches thick. The opposition to this motion is due September 8, 2008. 

5. Pursuant to this Court’s standing order, defendant Nibco, Inc. applies to the 

Court for leave to file an opposition brief not to exceed 35 pages in length. Counsel for 

defendant Nibco, Inc. will endeavor to keep the brief within the normal 25-page limit but seeks 

this relief at this time in the event that additional pages are needed to respond to the motion.
