American Express Travel Related Services Co. v. D&A Corporation, et al.

U.S. District Court Case No. 1:04-CV-06737 OWW TAG 2

The parties hereby enter into this stipulation for the purpose of resolving a dispute regarding

the form of a proposed order concerning plaintiff’s motion to strike the expert report of defendants’

expert, Richard Nordstrom. The language of the proposed order is stipulated to as follows:

The motion filed by Plaintiff American Express came on regularly for hearing on September

7, 2007, at 12 p.m. in Courtroom No. 3 of the above-captioned court before the Honorable Oliver W.

Wanger. Appearing for the plaintiff was Mark H. Moore of the law firm of Jaffe & Asher LLP.

Appearing for defendants David Aezah, Bakersfield Grocery Wholesale, and David Aezah Investment,

Inc., was Michael G. Marderosian of the law firm of Marderosian, Runyon, Cercone, Lehman &

Armo.

Upon reading the moving papers of Plaintiff American Express and the accompanying

declarations and exhibits, the opposition papers of the Defendants and the accompanying declarations,

and exhibits, and the reply papers of Plaintiff American Express and the accompanying declarations

and exhibits, and the oral argument presented to the Court, the Court hereby orders as follows:

ORDERED that pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26 and 37, and Local Rule 37-251(b), American

Express’ request for a protective order striking the Nordstrom Report and barring Nordstrom from

testifying, for failure to set forth a complete statement of all opinions to be expressed and the basis

and reasons therefore, and the data or other information considered by the witness in forming the

opinions is denied; and 

ORDERED that American Express shall nevertheless be permitted to move in limine or at

trial to bar any testimony from Nordstrom which contains opinions, or the basis and reasons therefore,

or data or other information considered by the witness, which are not contained in the Nordstrom

Report; and

ORDERED that the David Defendants are granted leave to have Nordstrom supplement the

Nordstrom Report no later than September 24, 2007, with the provisio that if they choose to do so,

American Express may take Nordstrom’s deposition a second time for the purpose of covering any

changes to the original report, either as to the opinion or the supporting facts or reasoning, and any

additional data orinformation reviewed byDr. Nordstrom. The David Defendants will be responsible
