NO. C 03-04535 JW 

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF'S

MOTION TO STRIKE JDSU'S OCTOBER

6, 2005, LETTER 

Plaintiff Arsape ("Arsape") and Third-Party Defendant Donovan Micro-Tek, Inc. ("DMT") bring

this motion to strike Defendant JDS Uniphase Corporation's ("JDSU") seven-page letter from Jeffrey J.

Lederman to the Court (hereinafter, October 6, 2005 Letter), Docket Item No. 117. In the letter, JDSU

responds to a question raised by the Court during the hearing on the parties’ respective motions for

summary judgment and partial summary judgment. 

Arsape contends that the letter should be stricken because it is untimely and purports to set forth

new evidence without a proper foundation. 

The motion to strike is GRANTED. The Court did not solicit the letter, and therefore the

submission was improper. Further, the Court did not consider any information in the letter in arriving at its

decision on the parties’ respective motions.
