From the Opinion

The passage below is extracted verbatim from the opening of the document. It has not been editorially summarized — consult the full opinion for the court's complete reasoning.

I. Introduction Pending before the court is the plaintiff Function Media, L.L.C.’s (“FM”) motion to exclude certain expert opinions (Dkt. No. 331). FM argues that Google’s experts should be precluded from giving testimony and opinions that are based on conversations with previously-undisclosed Google witnesses and contrary to Google’s 30(b)(6) corporate deposition testimony; based on litigation settlement agreements; based on unreliable and untested methodology; or produced late with no explanation or rationale.
