`
`
`Dear Counsel:
`
`
`Pursuant to the Court’s guidance at yesterday’s hearing, please let us know as soon as possible:
`
`
`1. Does Wirtgen America still intend to call Dr. Seth?
`2. Will she be opining on a damages number? If so, what is that number? What is the damages theory and related
`analysis?
`3. Please identify the portions of Dr. Seth’s existing report that support the above.
`
`
`
`Given the upcoming pretrial conference and trial, and consistent with the Court’s guidance, we need this information as
`soon as possible.
`
`
`Thank you for your cooperation.
`
`
`Regards,
`Lucy

`
`
`Dear Deidre:
`
`
`As discussed, we are prepared to provide updated sales information through October 2023. With respect to updated
`damages numbers, could we move that date up to January 25 to give us time to consider the information in advance of
`the January 29 Pretrial Order?
`
`
`Thank you for your cooperation.

`Counsel,
`
`
`Both sides have indicated that they will produce updated sales data to account for sales made after their respective
`latest financial document production. We think it makes sense to agree to both the cutoff date for the updated sales
`and a date on which the parties agree to mutually exchange the update documents. We propose the parties agree to a
`mutual production on January 15, 2024 and a mutual update of any damages numbers by January 29, 2024. Please let
`us know if you agree and, if so, what time frame of sales you will be able to produce.
