 1 [PROPOSED] ORDER SUSTAINING NIKKO’S 

OBJECTIONS TO FRATER DECLARATION

CASE NO. CV 03-02549 SBA 

This matter came before the Court on Nikko’s objections to Declaration Of Mark Frater In 

Support Of R.E. Service Co. Inc.’s Opposition To Nikko’s Motion For An Exceptional Case And 

Attorney Fees (“Frater Decl.”), and argument based thereon. 

The Court, having considered the pleadings and papers on file, HEREBY ORDERS that 

Nikko’s objections are SUSTAINED as follows: 

1. The Frater Declaration is inadmissible as untimely under Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(e)(2), 

and thus precluded pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 37(c). 

2. The Frater Declaration is inadmissible hearsay pursuant to Fed. R. Evid. 802. 

3. In accordance with these rulings, the Frater Declaration and related arguments 

made by RES will not be considered in ruling on Nikko’s Motion for An Exceptional Case And 

Attorney Fees. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated 1/12/06 

The Honorable SAUNDRA BROWN ARMSTRONG 

United States District Judge
