resources on potential discovery issues relating to experts, the parties have agreed to 

certain limitations on the scope of expert-related discovery and testimony in this 

matter. Neither the terms of this Stipulation nor the parties’ agreement to them implies

to, correspondence or memos to or from, and notes of conversations 

with, the expert’s assistants and/or clerical or support staff, other expert 

witnesses or non-testifying expert consultants, or attorneys for the party

b. Draft reports, draft studies, or draft work papers; 

preliminary or intermediate calculations, computations, or data runs; or
