v.

UNITED MEMORIES, INC., et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 5:13-cv-01081-PSG

ORDER RE: LIMITING INSTRUCTION

As the court indicated it would today during trial, it has considered ISSI’s proposed 

limiting instruction regarding the testimony of Anand Bagchi and Ron Kalakuntla. The court will

give the following limiting instruction on Thursday, November 12, 2015, before the first of these 

two witnesses testifies:

You will hear testimony from the next two witnesses, Ron Kalakuntla and Anand 

Bagchi, regarding Mr. Bagchi’s hiring by ISSI and his forwarding emails that he 

received from Cisco while he was at ISSI.

The court has ruled that Mr. Bagchi’s hiring was lawful, and in and of itself is not 

evidence of wrongdoing.

The court also has ruled that Cisco’s selection of ISSI as the Atris bid winner was 

not caused by any transfer of information or other conduct by Mr. Bagchi.

Evidence regarding Mr. Bagchi’s conduct before joining ISSI may not be 

considered as to these two issues.

Evidence regarding Mr. Bagchi’s conduct before joining ISSI may nevertheless be 

considered on other issues, such as (1) ISSI’s knowledge of the relationship 

between UMI and GSI; (2) the ownership of the schematics; and (3) whether GSI 

brought this lawsuit in bad faith.
