`

`
`
`
`Plaintiff Touchstream Technologies, Inc. (“Touchstream”) and Defendants Comcast
`
`Cable Communications, LLC, et al. (“Comcast”) jointly submit this third supplemental notification
`
`of agreements further narrowing disputes in advance of the pretrial conference on January 23,
`
`2024.1
`
`
`
`Attached as Exhibits A1 (Joint Exhibit List), A2 (Touchstream’s Non-Joint Exhibit
`
`List), and A3 (Comcast’s Non-Joint Exhibit List) are the parties’ revised exhibit lists, which reflect
`
`the parties’ further narrowing of objections. Also attached as Exhibit B is the parties’ revised day
`
`
`1 The parties’ proposed jury instructions remain unchanged from the joint submission on
`December 16, 2024. See Dkt. No. 222, Ex. B.

`
`1 deposition designations and objections, which reflect the parties’ further narrowing of
`
`designations, counter-designations, and objections thereto. The parties have agreed to the exhibits
`
`on the Joint Exhibit List only insofar as they are not excluded by the Court’s rulings on the parties’
`
`motions to strike and motions for summary judgment, and the parties reserve the right to object to
`
`any exhibits currently on the Joint Exhibit List as well as any deposition designations should the
`
`Court grant any of those motions.
`
`Although the parties preserve their objections to the exhibits and designations in Exhibits
`
`A1, A2, A3, and B that are implicated by their motions in limine, the parties have removed certain
`
`objections because Magistrate Judge Payne has resolved them in his rulings on the parties’ Motions
`
`in Limine.
`
`Specifically, while Comcast objects to the admissibility of PTX-020, PTX-021, PTX-
`
`022, PTX-024, PTX-026, PTX-027, PTX-029, PTX-031, PTX-032, PTX-033, PTX-085, JTX-
`
`018, JTX-020, JTX-021, JTX-022, JTX-023, JTX-024, JTX-027, JTX-063, JTX-064, DTX-029,
`
`DTX-031, DTX-032, DTX-035, DTX-041, DTX-044, DTX-050, DTX-051, DTX-054, DTX-056,
`
`and DTX-078, as well as certain deposition testimony of Jamie Cohen, Tony Werner, Jeffrey
`
`Pinard, Linda Yaccarino, Gil Beyda, Michael Rinzler, and Rajiv Lulla under Fed. R. Evid. 402
`
`and 403 for the reasons stated in Comcast’s Motion in Limine No. 3, those objections have been
`
`resolved in the ruling on that motion. Similarly, while Comcast objects to DTX-083, as well as
`
`certain deposition testimony of Anandhan Subbiah and Sharon Cilione-Berger, under Fed. R. Evid.
`
`402 and 403 for the reasons stated in Comcast’s Motion in Limine No. 2, those objections have
`
`been resolved in the ruling on that motion. Finally, while Comcast objects to PTX-009, as well as
`
`certain deposition testimony of Ernest Pighini and Scott Manning, under Fed. R. Evid. 402 and
`
`403 for the reasons stated in Comcast’s Motion in Limine No. 4, those objections have been
`
`2
`

`

`Case 2:23-cv-00059-JRG-RSP Document 281 Filed 01/22/25 Page 3 of 4 PageID #:
`13517
`
`resolved in the ruling on that motion.
`
`Furthermore, Touchstream has withdrawn objections to certain exhibits and deposition
`
`testimony in view of the Court’s rulings on the Motions in Limine. Touchstream has also
`
`withdrawn certain affirmative designations for the deposition of Tony Werner based on the Court’s
`
`ruling on Comcast’s Motion in Limine No. 1.
`
`The parties have further agreed that Touchstream’s authentication and foundation
`
`objections to DTX-017 will be deferred until foundation can be laid through a trial witness.
`
`Touchstream also notes that Comcast’s FRE 602 objections to Mr. Tony Werner’s
`
`deposition designations at 122:20-123:7, 125:5-9, 126:6-13, and 126:19-24 were raised the day
`
`before the parties’ January 23, 2025, pre-trial conference. Comcast previously dropped its FRE
`
`602 objection to the designated testimony at 126:6-13 and has not previously raised FRE 602
`
`objections to the rest of the cited testimony. Comcast has added these objections because the
`
`designated testimony relates to PTX-033, which Touchstream had previously withdrawn from its
`
`exhibit list and which it added back to the exhibit list on January 20, 2025.
`
`
`
`The parties reserve the right to amend, supplement, or modify these proposed materials
`
`as the case proceeds toward trial and as the parties continue to meet and confer regarding these
`
`materials in an attempt to further remove disputed issues.
