12 This motion is made pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure section 437c(n)(1),
13 and Evidence Code sections 350,352 and 1101(a), onthe grounds that: Etnyre is precluded by
14 law from relitigating summarily adjudicated claims and facts, and any evidence of summarily
15 adjudicated claims or facts at trial would be irrelevant, improper character evidence, unduly time
16 consuming, and prejudicial, and would cause the confusion of issues and mislead the jury.

19
THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN SUMMARILY ADJUDICATED BY THIS COURT
20 Any attempt by Etnyre to enlarge her remaining claims to encompass-the issues she has
21 already lost at summary adjudication is prevented by California Code of Civil Procedure section
26 (See also Pacific Std Lge Ins. Co. v. Tower Industries, Inc (1992) 9 Cal.App.4th 1881, 1887.)
27 Application of this rule is mandatory. The causes of action which have been summarily

10 Additionally, California Evidence Code section 350 provides that: "No evidence is
11 admissible except relevant evidence." As set forth above, this Court has already summarily
12 adjudicated the above-referenced claims pertaining to events that began in 2007, and through
13 Etnyre's tennination on March 12,2010. Accordingly, any evidence regarding these summarily
14 adjudicated claims and facts is irrelevant to the remaining claims involving alleged events in

23 the Court's and jury's time as this Court has already decided these matters as set forth above.
24 Indeed, after the motion for summary adjudication in this matter, the parties removed more than
25 30 witnesses from the witness list, more than 100 pages from the joint exhibit list, and shaved the
26 trial estimate in half. Unfortunately, some documents and witnesses that pertain only to these
27 claims remain. In these documents, Etnyre has attempted to provide "one-sided" accounts of the
28 issues that she had with her employer from 2007 to 2010. If she is allowed to introduce this

3 it took the actions it did. The danger of undue prejudice, waste of time, confusion of the real
5 Qualcomm also seeks an order precluding Etnyre from mentioning the denial of summary
6 adjudication on any issue or claim. Ifthe jury were informed ofthe denial of Qualcomm's
7 motions for summary adjudication on the remaining claims, they would no doubt presume that
8 these claims have merit. This would only serve to confuse and mislead the jury on the remaining
9 claims at trial as the standard for defeating summary adjudication is simply to raise a triable issue
10 of fact, rather than to establish that the claims are valid. (Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 437c(c) and (f).)

12 CONCLUSION
13 For the above reasons, Qualcomm respectfully requests that the Court grant this motion in
14 limine to exclude any testimony or evidence regarding claims summarily adjudicated against
15 plaintiff as follows: any evidence after December 31, 2006 that does not directly pertain to
16 Minhas' conduct, or investigation of his conduct, should be excluded (e.g., any evidence
17 regarding Etnyre's performance improvement plan ('TIP"), administrative leave, medical leave,
18 application for other positions, requests for accommodation such as reduced schedule, and her

The Motion for Sumrn#ry *Ijudication by Qualcomm was filed whiJe the operative pleading was the
Complaint filed November 2,2009? After the Motion was filed on November 5, 2010, plaintiff filed an
Amended Complaint on Decembar 10, 2010. Defendant then filed an Amended Notice, limiting the
Motion to the 3rd cause of action fof negligence and 4tn cause of action for sexual harassment. As these
allegations are essentially the same in the Cemplaint and First Amended Complaint, the court construes
the Motion, as modified by defendant, as pertaining to the First Amended Complaint.
Summary adjudication is granted as to defendant Qualcomm on the 3rd cause of action for negligence.

CASE TITLE: Etnyfe vs. Minhas CASE NO: 37.2009-00101537-CU-OE:CTL
Plaintiffs claim for negligence based on Qualcomm's allegedly negligent retention or supervision of its
employee, defendant Minhas, is barred by workers' compensation exclusivity. (See, Coit Drapery
Cleaners, Inc. v. Sequoia Ins. Co. (1993) 14 Cal.App.4th 1595, 1606)
Summary adjudication is denied as to defendant Qualcomm on the 4th cause of action for sexual
harassment. There is a triable issue of fact whether plaintiffs claim is barred by the statute of limitations.
(Gov. Code § 12960(d)) The one-year period specified in Gov. Code § 12960(d) begins to run when the
administrative remedy accrues, which is the occurrence of the unlawful practice. (Holland v. Union
Pacific R. Co. (2007) 154 Cal.App.4th 940, 945) Plaintiff filed a DFEH claim on February 23, 2007
alleging she was sexually harassed on February 24,2006. (Ex. S; Undisputed Fact # 6) Thus, it appears
the claim was filed within one year of the alleged sexual harassment. However, defendant maintains that
plaintiffs deposition testimony and undisputed facts show that wrongful conduct occurred 6n February
22,2006 rather than February 24,2006, so that the administrative claim is untimely. (Undisputed Fact #
4; Defendant's Ex. A) However, there is evidence presented to showdhe administrative complaiht is
timely and sufficient evidence to create a triable issue whether thete **P*two inappropriate instances of

MINUTE ORDER
APPEARANCES
The Court, having taken the above-entitled matter under submission on 05/27/2011 and having fully
considered the arguments of all parties, both written and oral, as well as the evidence presented, now
rules as follows:
Defendant's objections # 1, 2,4, 5 and 7 are sustained; all other objections overruled. Plaintiff's
objections overruled.
(1) 4th cause of action for sex discrimination fails because the paid leave and improvement plan are not
adverse employment actions;
(2) 4th cause of action for sex discrimination fails because plaintiff cannot demonstrate she was subject
to the paid leave and improvement plan because of her gender;
(3) 4th cause of action for retaliation fails because the paid leave and improvement plan are not adverse
employment actions:
(4) 4th cause 6f action for retaliation fajls because plaintiff cannot demonstrate she was subjected to the
paid leave and improvement plan because of any protected activity;
(5) 6th cause of action for breach of employment contract falls because plaintiff was an at-will employee;
(6) 7th cause of action for failure to accommodate fails because defendant accommodated her;
(7) 7th cause of action for gender discrimination fails because plaintiff cannot demonstrate she was
terminated because of her gender;
(8) 7th cause of action for retaliation fails because she cannot demonstrate she was terminated because
of any protected activity.
(9) 7th cause of action for disability discrimination fails because plaintiff cannot demonstrate she was
terminated because of a disability; and
(10) 8th cause of action for wrongful termination fails because plaintiff cannot demonstrate she was
terminated for an unlawful reason.
Plaintiffs separate statement does not conform to the format requirements contained in California Rules
of Court Rule 3.1350(f) and (h). The court expects compliance with all court rules.
Plaintiff has framed her complaint so that several causes of action are contained in one cause of action,
such as the 4th cause of action for harassment, discrimination and retaliation based on sex and gender
and the 7th cause of action for discrimination based on sex/gender/disability, retaliation, harassment,
failure to accommodate and failure to investigate and take prompt remedial action. For purposes of a
Motion f6r Summary Adjudication, the court can consider each separate theory of liability even though
contained in ohe cause of action. (Ulienthal & Fowler v. Superior Court (1993) 12 Cal.App.4th 1848,
1854)
Summary adjudication is granted as to the claims for discrimination based on sex and gender. As part of
her prima fade case, plaintiff must show some circumstance of a discriminatory motive for placing her on
paid administrative leave, implementing a performance improvement plan [PIP] for her and/or
terminating her. (See, Guz v. Bechtel Nat. inc. (2000) 24 Cal.4th 317, 354-366) Plaintiff must show there
is a nexus between defendant's conduct and her sex/gender. (Jones v. Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation (2007) 152 CalApp.4th 1367, 1379-1380) Plaintiff has not shown a causal connection
between her sex/gender and these actions by her employer.
Plaintiff worked as a paralegal in the patent department starting in May 2003. She reported to defendant
Minhas from June 2003 until August 2006. Plaintiff claims she was sexually harassed and assaulted by
Minhas in February 2006. Plaintiff reported the conduct to Qualcomm in April 2006 and she was
transferred to another manager in July 2006. Plaintiff filed a workers compensation claim for the sexual
harassmenVphysical assault in November 2006. She filed the first of three DFEH claims in February
2007, alleging sex/gender discrimination and harassment. Around this time, another supervisor,
Scanlon, asked plaintiff to Join her team. Scanlon is female. Plaintiff accepted. According to Scanlon,
there were some problems with plaintiffs abusive communication style and insubordinalon. This
culminated in an incident in September 2007, during a disagreement between Scanlon and plaintiff.
According to Scanion, plaintiff threw a document on her desk and raised her voice. When asked to sit
down to discuss the issue, plaintiff refused and told her supervisor that Scanlon would have to set up a
meeting with Human Resources if she wanted to talk to plaintiff, and then walked out. After discussing
the situation with the Human Resources Specialist, also a female, who recommended the two day paid
leave and PIP, plaintiff was placed on the two day leave in September 2007 and placed on the PIP in
October 2007. Plaintiff has not identified a triable Issue to show that the paid leave and PIP were
motivated by her sex or gender. Further, as discussed below, plaintiff also has not shown that her
termination was related to her sex or gender.
Summary adjudication is granted as to plaintiffs claims for disability discrimination. Plaintiff has not
identified a triable issue of fact showing that she was terminated or retaliated against because of any
disability. (See, Deschene v. Pinole Street Steel Co. (1999) 76 Cal.App.4th 33,44).
Plaintiff was placed on disability in November 2007. Qualcomm held her position open, but pursuant to
her doctor's orders, she could not return to her former position. Plaintiff's doctor provided three notes
regarding her return to work, in May 2008, November 2008 and February 2009. All provided that she
could work 5 days a week but no more than 30 hours a week for six months, with time off for medical
appointments. She also could not work in her former department or with a previous supervisor,
defendant Minhas or anyone with a similar personality or character to his or in a hostile work
environment, with known harassers or persons perceived to be harassing. The last doctor's note expired
in August 2009. The evidence shows Qualcomm tried to work with her to find her a suitable position and
never required her to return to full time work, even after the hourly restrictions had expired. Plaintiff filed
her third complaint with the DFEH in December 2008, claiming discrimination and retaliation based on
sex and her disability. Plaihtlff returned to work in February or March 2009, and Qualcomm
accommodated her reduced schedule and restrictions. She filed this lawsuit in November 2009. Shortly
afterwards, Qualcomm discovefed she disobeyed explicit instructions and conducted an investigation.
Ultimately it found she engaged in continued Insubordination and she was terminated in March 2010.
Plaintiff has not identified a tnable issue to show that her termination was based on her disability sex or
gender and in any event, she has not shown that her termination was a pretext for any discrimination.
Summary adjudication is granted as to plaintiffs retaliation claims. Plaintiff has not produced evidence to
show that she was subjected to the paid leave, improvement plan or eventually terminated because of
any retailatory animus. (Morgan v. Regents of University of Cal. (2000) 88 Cal.App.4th 52,69-70; Turner
v. The Saloon, Ltd. (7th Cir. 2010) 595 F.3d 679, 687) Plaintiff made many complaints to management
and filed three claims with the DFEH over a period of over two years. After a disagreement with her
supervisor, she was placed on leave and put on a program to Improve her performance. Her supervisor
was unaware of plaintiffs past sexual harassment complaints at the time. Evidence is presented that she
was eventually terminated for legitimate, non-discriminatory reasons. Plaintiff did not complete assigned
responsibilities, which was confirmed by a separate investigator. Plaintiff has not identified any
admissible triable issue to show a causal link between her complaints of discrimination and harassment
and the employer's actions.
Summary adjudication Is granted as to the claim for failure to accommodate. The evidence presented
shows that defendant reasonably accommodated plaintiffs disability and engaged In the interactive
process in good faith. (See, Jensen v. Wells Fargo Bank (2000) 85 Cal.App.4th 245,256; Scotch v. Art
Institute of California-Orange County, Inc. (2009) 173 Cal.App.4th 986, 1013-1014) Leave can be a
reasonable accommodatioh. (Hanson v. Lucky Stores, Inc. (1999) 74 CalApp.4th 215, 226) The
employer is not required to create a position for purposes of accommodation. (Raine v. City of Burbank
(2006) 135 CalApp.4th 1215,1224)
Defendant communicated with plaintiff regarding her medical leave and job opehings. Plaintiff was
precluded from working in her old department and did not respond to offers by defendant to show she
was qualified for other positions in other departments. Plaintiff has not shown evidence that defendant
did not comply with her doctor's restrictions or otherwise failed to accommodate her.
Summary adjudication is granted as to the claim for breach of employment contract. There is an express
at will provision in the Terms of Employment, signed by plaintiff. Plaintiff may not contradict the valid
express at will provision with evidence of an implied contract requiring good cause for termination.
(Tomlinson v. Qualcomm, Inc. (2002) 97 Cal.App.4th 934,945)
Summary adjudication is granted as to the claim for Wrongful termination. Defendant produced evidence
of a non-discriminatory reason for her termination. Plaintiff has not identified a triable issue or produced
evidence to show that she was terminated in violation of a public policy. (See, Declarations of Etnyre,
Baker-Mack, Raymond, Scanlan, Rouse, Sailer, Wilson, Maybaum and Listug; Defendant's Exs. A-LL,
Summary adjudication is denied as to the issue of adverse employment actions to support claims for sex
discrimination and retaliation. Plaintiff raised a triable issue whether the paid leave and improvement
plan were adverse employment actions. She claims when she was put on the performance plan, she
was told she would not be getting a raise, bonus or stock. (Declaration of Etnyfe) This is sufficient to
create a triable issue as to whether she was subject to an adverse employment action. (See, Yanowitz v.
L'Oreal USA, Inc. (2006) 36 Cal.4th 1028,1052)

The 4th cause of action in plaintiffs First Amended Complaint alleges three separate counts;
harassment, discrimination and retaliation based on gender/sex. These claims are alleged against
defendants Qualcomm Incorporated and Sandip Minhas.
The court summarizes the motions brought by defendant Qualcomm and the rulings as follows:
Motion for summary adjudication as to the 4th cause of action for sexual harassment was denied on
January 21, 2011, as was defendant Minhas' joinder to the MSA;
Motion for summary adjudicati6n as to the 4th cause of action for sexual discrimination and retaliation
was granted on June 9, 2011.
Pursuant to stipulation on June 7,2011, plaintiff stipulated that she does not intend to maintain a cause
of action against Minhas for discrimination or retaliation in the 4th cause of action.
Therefore, there remains in the 4th cause of action a claim for sexual harassment against defendant

1 I.
4 summary adjudication motions, this trial has been narrowed to plaintiff Courtney Etnyre's
5 ("Etnyre'D claims of alleged battery and assault, sexual harassment, and intentional and negligent
6 infliction of emotional distress. As her remaining claims against Qualcomm and individual
7 defendant, Sandip Minhas ("Minhas"), are based on alleged sexual conduct, Qualcomm
8 anticipates that Etnyre will attempt to introduce evidence of irrelevant sexual events Where neither
9 she nor Minhas was present, or that are too remote in time and unrelated to be actionable, in an
10 attempt to confuse the issues, and prejudice and mislead the jury.
11 During discovery, Etnyre's counsel obtained deposition testimony from several Qualcomm
12 employees regarding two rumored/alleged instances of unwelcome sexual conduct that have
13 nothing to do with Etnyre or Minhas. Accordingly, Qualcomm seeks to exclude any evidence
14 or mention of: (1) a former Qualcomm employee's, Erin Madill, alleged inappropriate
15 behavior towards another former Qualcomm employee, Kelley O'Patry, in November 2004;
16 and (2) a Qualcomm employee's, Deborah Dean, alleged kiss of a former Qualcomm
17 employee, Tim Ellis, in 2005. Ms. O'Patry filed suit against the individual who was alleged to
18 have treated her inappropriately (an individual terminated by Qualcomm for his conduct).
19 Qualcomm was not sued by Ms. O'Patry. Significantly, as Etnyre concedes at deposition, neither
20 Etnyre nor Minhas was present for either alleged event. (Exh. A, Etnyre Depo. at 274:11-22.)
22 employee, Philip Wadsworth, in which she stated that he pulled her towards his car after a work-
23 related event (but another employee escorted her away and drove her home), and for which he was
24 immediately disciplined by Qualcomm ih the form of a suspension from work and received
25 harassment training. (Exh. A, Etnyre Depo. at 166:19-169:24; Exh. B, Baker Depo. at 350:5-23;
26 355:8-24.) Accordingly, Qualcomm seeks to exclude any evidence or mention of the alleged
27 incident with Wadsworth in 2004 because this event is time-barred by Etnyre's failure to
28 exhaust her administrative remedies and the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations for

1 this event. This event also has no relevance to the present lawsuit, and is unrelated to the events
2 alleged in 2006 involving Minhas.
3 This motion is madepursuant to California Evidence Code sections 350,352 and 1101(a),
4 on the grounds that evidence of sexual events at which neither Etnyre nor Minhas was present, or
5 that are unrelated and too remote in time to be actionable, should be excluded as irrelevant,
6 improper character evidence, unduly time consuming and prejudicial, and because they would
7 cause confusion of issues and mislead the jury.

12 California Evidence Code section 350 provides that: "No evidence is admissible except
14 conduct at issue must actually hurt or affect the plaintiff. (Fisher v. San Pedro Peninsula Hosp.
15 (1989) 214 Cal.App.3d 590, 609-610.) Plaintiff"must show that the harassment directed at others
16 was in her immediate work environment, and that she personally wimessed it." (Lyle v. Warner
17 Bros. Television Productions (2006) 38 Cal.4th 264,285.) As pointed out by the California
18 Supreme Court, "the reason for this is obvious: ifthe plaintiff does not witness the incidents
19 involving others, those incidents cannot affect...her perception of the hostility ofthe work
20 environment." (Id.)
21 Here, Etnyre, however, did not observe any inappropriate conduct by Dearl toward Ellis.
22 (Exh. A, Etnyre Depo. at 275:10-22.) Moreover, although Ellis ultimately told Etnyre about the
23 kiss, he did not share this information until approximately one year after it occurred, well after he
24 had been transferred to a new department. (Exh. A, Etnyre Depo. at 279:20-280:2.) Etnyre
25 likewise admits that she did not witness the Madill/0'Patry incident and therefore cannot offer
26 evidence ofthese irrelevant incidents to prove her harassment claim at trial. (Exh. A, Etnyre
27 Depo. At 274:11-22.) Moreover, Etnyre's reliance on any statements that she heard from co-
28 workers regarding these incidents would likewise be inadmissible hearsay. (Evidence Code §

4 California Evidence Code section 352 provides that the Court may exclude evidence: "if
5 its probative value is substantially outweighed by the possibility that its admission will (a)
6 necessitate undue consumption of time or (b) create a substantial danger ofundue prejudice, or of
8 Here, it would take several witnesses, and a "trial within a trial," to present evidence of
9 sexual events at which neither Etnyre nor Minhas was present. Such"mini-trials" have been held
10 to be an undue consumption of time, which renders the evidence inadmissible. (Chen v. County
11 ofOrange, 96 Cal. App. 4th 926, 951 (2002) [trial court properly excluded anecdotal testimony;
12 "To have allowed anecdotes of how [other] employees were treated would have expanded the
13 scope of the trial exponentially .... "11; Moorhouse v. Boeing Co. (E.D. Pa. 1980) 501 F.Supp. 390,
14 393 affd. (3rd Cir. 1980) 639 F.2d 774; Harpring v. Continental Oil Co. (5th Cir. 1980) 628 F.2d
17 Qualcomm. Several courts have concluded that the use of alleged acts or comments not directed
18 atthe plaintiffis so prejudicial that such evidence is inadmissible. (See Regents OfUniv. CaL v.
19 Superior Court (1995) 33 Cal.App.4th 1710,1714, fn.1 C[although [plaintiff] also asserts that
20 [defendant] made disparaging remarks about women to other applicants, subjected pregnant
21 residents to disparate treatment and harassed other women at various times, these incidents were
22 not directed at [plaintiff] and may not be considered"](overruled on other grounds in Mullins v.

1 with anyone other than the plaintiff].)
4 Qualcomm also anticipates that Etnyre may try to include in this trial of alleged conduct
5 by Minhas, the unrelated, and time-barred, incident in May 2004 in which employee Wadsworth
6 allegedly tried to pull Etnyre towards his car. Evidence of this event is irrelevant under Evidence
7 Code section 350 as it is not actionable as harassment, and should be excluded for this reason.
9 under California's Fair Employment Housing Act ("FEHA").(Gov. Code § 12960; Hobson v.
10 Raychem Corp. (1999) 73 Cal.App.4th 614, 631, disapproved of on other grounds.) The FEHA
11 requires that any complaint for a violation of its provisions be filed with the Department of Fair
12 Employment and Housing ("DFEH") within one year of the date upon which the alleged unlawful
13 practice occurred. (Gov. Code § 12960; Romano v. Rockwell Intl, Inc. (1996) 14 Cal.4th 479,
14 492.) Allegations of conduct occurring more than one year from the date of filing are barred by
15 the statute of limitations. (Gov. Code § 12960; Cucuzza v. Cio> OfSanta Clara (2002) 104
16 Cal.App.4th 1031, 1040; Martin v. Lockheed Missiles & Space Co. (1994) 29 Cal.App.4th 1718,
17 1724.)
18 Here, Etnyre filed a claim with the DFEH alleging sexual harassment against Minhas and
19 Qualcomm on February 23,2007. (Exh. C) Thus, her FEHA civil action can only reach back to
20 February 23,2006. As such, the alleged conduct by Wadsworth in May 2004 i5 weU outside the
21 one-year statute of limitations, and cannot be the basis for Etnyre's FEHA claim; it is also
23
2 To the extent that Etnyre argues the Wadsworth incident is a continuing violation ofthe Minhas
24
allegations in February 2006, the argument is specious. In order to establish a continuing Violation, a
plaintiff must show" a series of related acts, one or more of which falls within the limitations period..."

discriminatory acts are related closely enough to constitute a continuing violation." Green, 883 F.2d at

1 Moreover, evidence of the time-barred Wadsworth event would also necessitate undue
2 consumption of time as to a "mini-trial" of the incident. As evidenced by the Witness List and
3 order, Etnyre intends to call the alleged harasser, Wadsworth, and related witnesses even before
4 Etnyre testifies. As discussed above, such a mini-trial on this one event that occurred well before
5 the events in question will create a substantial danger ofundue prejudice, confusing the issues,
8 Wadsworth event at trial. Otherwise, the statutory exhaustion and limitations requirements under
10 III.
11 CONCLUSION
12 For all of these reasons, any evidence relating to sexual events where either Minhas or
13 Etnyre were not present, or that are too remote in time and unrelated to be actionable, should be
14 excluded. Accordingly, Qualcomm seeks to exclude any evidence or mention of: 1) a former
15 Qualcomm employee's, Erin Madill, alleged inappropriate behavior towards another former
17 Deborah Dean alleged kiss of a former Qualcomm employee, Tim Ellis, in 2005; and 3) any
18 evidence or mention of the alleged incident with Wadsworth in 2004; and 4) sexual events or
- 19 conduct concerning Qualcomm employees and employees from an outside law firm, Amin &
20 Turocy (which plaintiffs counsel has indicated he does not intend to introduce). This includes,

Motion In Limine To Exclude Extraneous Evidence
SULLIVAN &
CONNAUGHTON LLP
1 I.
2 INTRODUCTION
4 ("Qualcomm") anticipates that Etnyre will seek to introduce wide-ranging evidence of alleged
5 general extraneous events at Qualcomm that did not involve Etnyre or Minhas simply to make
6 these certain individuals "look bad." Qualcomm seeks specifically to exclude all evidence of the
7 following alleged miscellaneous events where neither Minhas or Etnyre was present and had
8 nothing to do with sexual harassment, or sexual assault or battery: (1) Deborah Dean, an
10 Kirkpatrick, a former Qualcomm employee, to report that she was crazy; (2) former Patent
11 Counsel, Associate Timothy Buckley, filed a lawsuit against Qualcomm and individual
12 defendants Thomas Rouse, Timothy Loomis, Melanie Carmosino and Mary Stewart alleging,
13 among other things, race, color and national origin discrimination, retaliation and defamation; (3)
14 that individuals in the patent department went to happy hour that the company paid for; and (4)
15 Qualcomm was involved in patent litigation in the case of Qualcomm Incorporated v. Broadcom
17 None of this proposed evidence provides any relevant information to Etnyre's elaims
18 before this Court. The alleged events do not involve Etnyre or Minhas, and Etnyre neither
19 witnessed the alleged acts nor had any specific knowledge of them, and it does not involve sexual
20 harassment or conduct. In addition, this evidence must be excluded because any limited probative
21 value it could have is substantially outweighed by the probability that its admission will
22 necessitate undue consumption of time, create substantial danger ofundue prejudice, confuse the
24 II.
27 Under the California Evidence Code, no evidence is admissible except relevant evidence.
28 (Evid. Code § 350.) Evidence is relevant if it has"ariy tendency in reason to prove or disprove
PAUL, PLEVIN, 1

CONNAUGHTON LLP
t
..
1 any disputed fact that is of consequence to the determination ofthe action." (Evid. Code § 210;
2 O'Hearn v. Hillcrest Gym and Fimess Center, Inc. (2004) 115 Cal.App.#th 491,501.) Thus,
5 Here, Etnyre has the ultimate burden of proving that she was subjected to sexual assault
6 and Sexual harassment. Evidence that other employees engaged in alleged unrelated events that
7 did not involve Etnyre or Minhas simply has no bearing on this ultimate question and is wholly
8 irrelevant to any material facts at issue. Indeed, whether Deborah Dean called one of Sarah
9 Kirkpatrick's prospective employers to report that she was crazy, whether Timothy Buckley filed
10 a lawsuit against Qualcomm and various individual defendants for assorted discrimination and
11 defamation claims, whether Qualcomm was involved in extensive patent litigation that involved
12 discovery sanctions, or whether individuals other than Etnyre or Minhas went to happy hour have
13 no tendency in reason to prove or disprove whether Etnyre was subjected to unlawful sexual
14 conduct. Indeed, these acts did not involve Etnyre or Minhas. Neither Etnyre or Minhas
15 witnessed nor had personal knowledge of the events and the events did not involve any sexual
16 conduct (or alleged misconduct). (See, e.g, Kelb'-Zurian v. Wohl Shoe Co. (1994) 22
20 irrelevant to the determination of whether she was subjected to unlawful treatment and is thus
21 inadmissible.
22 III.
25 As noted above, evidence of alleged events that did not involve Etnyre or Minhas does not
26 even meet the threshold test for relevance. However, even if this evidence is deemed relevant, it
27 should still be excluded under Evidence Code section 352 because its probative value is
28 substantially outweighed by the probability that its admission will necessitate undue consumption

Motion In Limine To Exclude Extraneous Evidence
SULLIVAN &
CONNAUGHTON LLP
..
1 of time, create substantial danger of undue prejudice, confuse the issues and mislead thejury.
2 (Evid. Code § 352.)
3 Evidence that has the potential to confuse the issues or mislead the jury is excludable
4 under Evidence Code section 352. ( Wagner v. Benson (1980) 101 Cal.App.3d 27,36 [holding '
5 that evidence of"marginal" probative value that could easily overwhelm or confuse the jury and
6 obscure the main issues should be excluded].) The strong interest in prompt and efficient trials
7 permits the exclusion of evidence that is not relevant or significantly probative to the issue before
8 the court and will needlessly consume time. (Maricela C v. Superior Court (1998) 66
9 Cal.App.4th 1138, 1146-47; Notrica v. State Comp. Ins. Fund (1999) 70 Cal.App.4th 911, 950
10 [holding that evidence that would "open a can of worms" should be stricken].) Evidence that is
11 likely to evoke emotional bias against a party, is unsupported by the evidence, and has very little
12 effect on the relevant issues is considered unduly prejudicial. (Morse v. Sarasy (1997) 53
13 Cal.App.4th 998,1008-1009; Burke v. Almaden Vineyards, Inc. (1978) 86 Cal.App,3d 768, 774.)
15 Time.
16 If Etnyre is permitted to introduce evidence of these events that did not involve her or
17 Minhas, Qualcomm will be forced to defend itself against each and every alleged incident which
18 will create numerous "mini-trials" with witnesses that are wholly unrelated to Etnyre's claims.
19 Such mini-trials have been held to be an undue consumption of time, which renders the
20 evidence inadmissible. (Harpring v. Continental Oil Co. (5th Cir. 1980) 628 F.2d 406,410, cert.
21 denied (1981) 454 U.S. 89.) In Harpring, plaintiff sought to introduce evidence ofprior
22 discriminatory acts by defendant. The court excluded such testimony to avoid "trying another
23 lawsuit within the exi5ting lawsuit." (628 F.2d at 410.) Here, the alleged acts are not even ofa
26 position here. Indeed, with respect to each incident, Qualcomm would be forced to present
27 evidence regarding, among other things, the underlying facts, Qualcomm's investigation and
28 findings, as well as each corrective action taken. These evidentiary side-trips would be extremely

CONNAUGHTON LLP
1 time consuming. Whatever slight probative value Etnyre could scrape together from this evidence
2 is greatly outweighed by the amount oftime these side issues will consume.
3 B. Introduction of the Evidence Would Confuse and Mislead the Jury and Create
5 The jury's job in this case wiil be to determine whether Etnyre was subjectedto unlawful
6 sexual battery, assault or sexual harassment. Numerous courts have concluded that the use of
7 alleged acts or comments not directed at the plaintiff and unknown by the plaintiff is so
8 prejudicial that such evidence is inadmissible. (Kelly-Zurian v. Wohl Shoe Co. (1994) 22
9 Cal.App.4th 397, 410-411 [affirming grant of employer's motion in limine to exclude any
10 evidence of any wrongful conduct with anyone other than the plaintiffl.)
11 Here, even if it were true that other employees engaged in the alleged acts, evidence of
12 such conduct does not prove or disprove any issue relevant to Etnyre's lawsuit and would be so
14 IV.
15 CONCLUSION
16 Qualcomm respectfully requests that the Court grant this motion in limine to preclude any
17 testimony or other evidence regarding extraneous events unrelated to Etnyre or Minhas, including
18 any questioning or exhibits, or mention in front ofthe jUIy, to the foilowing evidence: (1)
19 Deborah Dean, an employee in Qualcomm's legal department, allegedly calling a prospective
20 employer of Sarah Kirkpatrick, a former Qualcomm employee, to report that she was crazy; (2)
21 former Patent Counsel, Associate Timothy Buckley, filing a lawsuit against Qualcomm and
22 individual defendants Thomas Rouse, Timothy Loomis, Melanie Carmosino and Mary Stewart
23 alleging, among other things, race, discrimination, retaliation and defamation; (3) individuals in
24 the patent department going to happy hour that the company paid for where Etnyre or Minhas was
25 not in attendance; and (5) Qualcomm being involved in patent litigation in the case of Qualcomm

CONNAUGHTON LLP
1 I.
2 INTRODUCTION
4 blood-stained clothing offered purportedly to demonstrate that she was menstruating during the
5 alleged rape. However, whether Etnyre was menstruating at the time of the alleged event is
6 irrelevant to Etnyre's claims and, notably, Etnyre does not even know when or how the graphic
7 blood stains to the crotch area were made. Therefore, the clothing should be excluded as
8 irrelevant and highly distracting. The blood-stained pants must also be excluded because any
9 limited probative value they may have is substantially outweighed by the probability that their
10 admission will create a substantial danger of undue prejudice, confuse the issues and mislead the
11 jury.
12 II.
14 Under the California Evidence Code, no evidence is admissible except relevant evidence.
15 (Evid. Code § 350.) Evidence is relevant if it has "any tendency in reason to prove or disprove
16 any disputed fact that is of consequence to the determination of the action." (Evid. Code § 210;
17 O'Hearn v. Hil/crest Gym and Fimess Center, Inc. (2004) 115 Cal.App.4th 491, 501.) Thus,
20 Etnyre's blood-stained clothing fails to meet this standard. Etnyre admitted that the blood
21 on her pants is menstrual blood, rather than bleeding from the alleged rape. (Exh. A, Etnyre
23 Qualcomm Incorporated's Requests for Admission ("RFA"), Set No. One, Response to RFA No.
24 25 at 10:8-14.) She has specifically admitted that the blood was caused by menstruation. (Exh.
25 A, Etnyre Depo. at 942:23-943:8.) Presumably, Etnyre wants to introduce the pants to prove that
26 she was menstruating on the night of the alleged rape. However, whether Etnyre was
28 HI

SULLIVAN &
Motion In Limine To Exclude The Bloody Clothing 1

..
1 ' Moreover, even if her menstruation were somehow relevant, which Qualcomm denies,
2 Etnyre testified that she does not even know when the stains were made. (Exh. A, Etnyre Depo. at
3 946:13-21, 947:12-18, 21-24 [Q. None -- none of the stains to the pants occurred on that night; is
'4 that correct? A. I couldn't really say. Q. You don't remember ifthey did or did not occur on
5 February 22nd or 23rd, 2006? A. I couldn't tell you when the stains -- when which stain
6 appeared.])
7 III.
9 SECTION 352
10 The biood-stained pants do not even meet the threshold test for relevance. However, even
11 if it did, the evidence should be excluded under Evidence Code section 352 because its limited (if
12 any) probative value is substantially outweighed by the probability that its admission will create
13 substantial danger of undue prejudice, confuse the issues and mislead the jury. (Evid. Code §
14 352.)
15 Evidence that has the potential to confuse the issues or mislead the jury is excludable
16 under Evidence Code section 352. (Wagner v. Benson (1980) 101 Cal.App.3d 27,36 [holding
17 that evidence of "marginal" probative value thai could easily overwhelm or confuse the jury and
18 obscure the main issues should be excluded].) In addition, evidence that is likely to evoke
19 emotional bias against a party, is unsupported by the evidence and has very little effect on the
20 relevant issues is considered unduly prejudicial. (Ajmco Inc. v. E*TRADE Group Inc. (2005) 135
21 Cal.App.4th 21,45; Morse v. Sarasy (1997) 53 Cal.App.4th 998, 1008-1009; Burke v. Almaden
22 Vineyards, Inc. (1978) 86 Cal.App.3d 768, 774; Kessler v. Gray (1978) 77 Cal.App.3d 284,291-
23 292.)
24 If the blood-stained pants are admitted, there is a substantial risk that the jurors will be
25 misled into believing that the blood was caused by the alleged rape. In short, by coupling rape
26 allegations with blood-stained pants - a tangible, turquoise jogging suit with a gross and large
27 crotch filled apparent blood stain -jurors will almost invariably conclude that the blood stains
28 must have been caused by rape and will focus on the tangible evidence in front of them, rather
PAUL, PLEVIN, 2
SULLIVAN &
Motion In Limine To Exclude The Bloody Clothing
CONNAUGHTON LLP
1 than the testimony regarding the same. Indeed, Etnyre has conceded not only that the blood is
2 menstrual, but also that the stains were caused by menstruation, not any alleged rape and that she
3 does not know whenher pants were stained. (Exh. A, Etnyre Depo. at 942:23-943:8; 946:13-21,
4 947:12-18,21-24.) Because the blood-stained pants will create a substantial risk ofundue
5 prejudice, confuse the issues and mislead the jury, all such evidence must be excluded.
6 IV.
7 CONCLUSION
8 Qualcomm respectfully requests that the Court grant this motion in limine to exclude the
9 blood-stained pants, Exhibits 92 and 93, as well as any photographs or other images ofthe pants.

2 INTRODUCTION
4 opinions by plaintiff Courtney Etnyre's expert Johanna Hunsaker, Ph.D. based on Etnyre's
5 failure to make Dr. Hunsaker available and ready for deposition or to produce documents or
6 writings related to her testimony. Indeed, on June 1, 2011, after attempting for almost three
7 months to obtain documents and testimony from Dr. Hunsaker, Qualcomm took a notice of non-
8 appearance at the third properly noticed deposition for Dr. Hunsaker and still counsel provided no
9 date (even after the close of discovery) when Dr. Hunsaker would be available and prepared to
11 Since designating Dr. Hunsaker as an expert witness on December 30,2010, Etnyre has
12 failed to produce any expert declarations, reports, or records, and repeatedly has failed to make
13 Dr. Hunsaker available for a deposition. Under the clear dictates of the Code of Civil Proeedure
14 and relevant case law, Dr. Hunsaker should be excluded from presenting any opinions or
15 stestimony at trial.
16 II.
19 California Code of Civil Procedure section 2034.300 mandates that a court shaU exclude
20 from evidence the expert opinion of any witness that is offered by any party who has unreasonably
21 failed to:
24 (c) Produce reports and writings of expert witnesses under section 2034.270.
25 (d) Make that expert available for a deposition under Article 3 (commencing with
26 section 2034.410).
27 (Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 2034.300; see also McCoy v. Gustafson (2009) 180 Cal.App.4th

3 III.
7 Etnyre first designated Dr. Hunsaker as an expert witness in the field of"human resources
8 and employee relations" on December 30,2010. (Declaration of Melissa Listug Klick ("Klick

10 writings of Dr. Hunsaker, or, for that matter, any documents whatsoever related to Dr. Hunsaker's
12 On March 9, 2011, Qualcomm first contacted Etnyre's counsel to attempt to schedule Dr.
13 Hunsaker's deposition. (Klick Decl. 11 3.) When counsel provided no response, on March 31,
14 2011, Qualcomm attempted to serve Dr. Hunsaker with a records subpoena and a deposition
15 subpoena at her business address for records (to be produced April 19, 2011) and noticed her
16 deposition for May 5, 2011. (Klick Decl. 11 4; Exh. H.) Unfortunately, Qualcomm's process
17 server was informed that Dr. Hunsaker was on Sabbatical for an indefinite period of time and
18 could not be served. (Klick Decl. 114.) When informed, Etnyre's counsel agreed to accept service
19 of the subpoenas on behalf of Dr. Hunsaker. (Klick Decl. 71[ 5,6.)
20 On April 28, 2011 Qualcomm served an amended notice of Dr. Hunsaker's deposition for
21 May 25, 2011 and re-issued both the deposition and documents subpoenas (requiring production

1 After the completion ofthis motion, in the afternoon of June 23 (one week after the original motion in
limine deadline); Qualcomm received some emails from Dr. Hunsaker that indicate they include
25
transcripts she has reviewed. Qualcomm has not had an opportunity to review this information and she
has never provided her files for copying by Qualcomm's deposition officer as required by subpoena and
26
has not appeared for deposition or indicated that she is prepared. This was likely done in response to
Qualcomm's efforts to meet and confer on motions in limine. (Klick Decl. 1[ 14.)

1 attorney support service hired by Qualcomm finally reached Dr. Hunsaker, only to learn that
2 Etnyre's counsel never provided the subpoena to Dr. Hunsaker, who was unaware of h¢r
3 obligation and had no records to produce. (Id. 11 9.) The refusal of Etnyre's counsel to provide
4 her expert Witness with the subpoena assuredly makes the failure to produce any documents
6 Due to Qualcomm's inability to serve Dr. Hunsaker (because of her Sabbatical) with a
7 subpoena for documents to be produced on April 19, 2011, Qualcomm was forced to cancel the
8 May 5,2011 deposition and on April 28,2011 re-noticed Dr. Hunsaker's deposition for May 25,
9 2011. Counsel for Etnyre indicated in a May 4, 2011 letter that the May 25, 2011 deposition date
10 was acceptable and that Dr. Hunsaker would appear. (Id. 11 7.) However, in a May 16, 2011
11 conference call, counsel for Etnyre reneged, stating that Dr. Hunsaker would neither produce
12 documents on May 10, 2011, nor appear for her deposition on May 25,2011. (Id. 11 8.) Etnyre's
13 counsel did not provide any alternate dates. (Id.) Qualcomm served a second amended notice of
14 deposition on May 20,2011, seeking to depose Dr. Hunsaker on June 1,2011 before the court-
15 ordered discovery cut-off of June 3, 2011 because Etnyre's counsel failed to provide any
16 alternatives. (Id. 1[ 10.) June 1,2011 cameandwent,the June 3,2011 discovery cut-off has come
17 and gone, and counsel for Etnyre still has not produced Dr. Hunsaker for deposition. (Id. lili 13,
18 15.) Counsel for Etnyre either ignored Qualcomm's requests to depose Dr. Hunsaker, or agreed
19 to them only to back out last-minute. Again, this failure to abide by the requirements of section
20 2034.300 is unreasonable.
21 As reflected by the record, Qualcomm has made repeated efforts to obtain the opinions,
22 writings, records, and deposition testimony of Dr. Hunsaker. In contravention of the requirements
23 of section 2034.300, counsel for Etnyre has frustrated all of these attempts. The discovery cut-off
24 has passed, and trial is set to commence on July 1, 2011. The failure of Etnyre's counsel to
25 provide any information on the opinions or planned testimony of Dr. Hunsaker is unreasonable
26 and extremely prejudicial: Qualcomm is entirely in the dark as to what Dr. Hunsaker wouid testify
27 to. This is precisely the scenario that section 2034.300 was intended to protect against. (See
28 Jones v. Moore (2000) 80 Cal.App.4th 557,566 r'[Aln important goal of section 2034 is to

3 ["[T]he statutory scheme as a whole envisions timely disclosure of the general substance of an

2 After Mr. Kondrick agreed to accept service on behalf ofDr. Hunsaker, Etnyre's counsel raised an issue
that Dr. Hunsaker could not be deposed until after Mary Stewart had completed a third and fourth session
23
ofher deposition. Therefore, Qualcomm provided Etnyre's counsel with three dates to complete that
deposition before the scheduled May 25,2011, deposition of Dr. Hunsaker and noticed Dr. Hunsaker near
24
the end of the discovery period to ensure that both Ms. Stewart and Dr. Hunsaker could be timely
25
completed. Notably, counsel had failed to depose her on earlier dates in April when she was made
available. Then, Etnyre's counsel failed to respond to the offer to produce Ms. Stewart until Qualcomm
called to confirm the day before and was notified that Mr. Kondrick was otherwise engaged. Ms.
26
Stewart's further deposition has since been cancelled by Mr. Kondrick due to the ruling·on the motion for
27
summary adjudication. However, he will not agree to withdraw Dr. Hunsaker. (Klick Decl. 9 11.)

22 1. I am an associate in the law firm of Paul, Plevin, Sullivan & Connaughton LLP,
23 attorneys of record for Defendant Qualcomm Incorporated in the above-entitled matter, and am
24 licensed to practice before this Court. I have personal knowledge of the following facts and, if
26 2. Etnyre first designated Johanna Hunsaker, Ph.D as an expert witness in the field
27 of"human resources and employee relations" on December 30,2016. A true and correct copy of
2 3. On March 9, 2011, our office contacted the office of Paul Kondrick, counsel for
3 Etnyre, to inquire about scheduling the deposition of Dr. Hunsaker. After receiving no response, I
4 sent a letter to Etnyre's counsel on March 22, 2011 suggesting several potential dates for Dr.
5 Hunsaker's deposition. A true and correct copy of my March 22, 2011 letter is attached hereto as
7 4. On March 31, 2011, our office attempted to serve a Deposition Subpoena and
8 Subpoena for the Production of Business Records on Dr. Hunsaker. The process server employed
9 by our firm to serve these subpoenas informed my office that Dr. Hunsaker was on sabbatical and
10 did not know the duration. At that time, Qualcomm also served a notice of deposition by mail on
11 all counsel setting Dr. Hunsaker's deposition for May 5,2011. A true and correct copy 6fthe
12 deposition notice and subpoenas are attached as Exhibit H.
13 5. On April 22, 2011, I sent a letter to Etnyre's counsel advising that we intended to
14 file a motion in limine to exclude any opinions by Dr. Hunsaker if we were unable to obtaih her
15 documents or deposition testimony, and again requesting dates when Dr. Hunsaker would be
16 available for a deposition. A true and correct copy of this letter is attached hereto as Exhibit C.
17 6. In response to my letter, counsel for Etnyre, Paul Kondrick, advised my office that
18 he would accept service for Dr. Hunsaker. Consequently, on April 28,2011, another Deposition
19 Subpoena and Subpoena for the Production of Business Records were served personally to Mr.
20 Kondrick, asking Dr. Hunsaker to produce her file on May 10, 2011 and to attend her deposition
2I on May 25,2011. A true and correct copy of the subpoenas is attached hereto as Exhibit D.
22 7. On May 4, 2011, I received a letter from Etnyre's counsel indicating that Dr.
23 Hunsaker would be available for her deposition on May 25, 2011. A true and correct copy of this
25 8. During a conference call on May 16, 2011, Etnyre's counsel advised me that Df.
26 Hunsaker would not be ready to produce her file on May 10,2011 or be prepared to testify on
27 May 25,2022. Etnyre's counsel did not provide alternate dates when Dr. Hunsaker would be
2 ("AccuTech"),a process server used by our office in this case. AccuTech informed our office that
3 they had made a telephone call to Dr. Hunsaker on May 13, 2011 and left her a voice message to
4 contact them regarding the production of records pursuant to the subpoena. Receiving no
5 response, AccuTech repeated this phone call and meisage on May 16, 17, and 18, 2011. Finally,
6 on May 20, 2011, AccuTech spoke with Dr. Hunsaker, who informed AccuTech that she had not
7 received the subpoena fof business records from Etnyre's counsel, and therefore had no records to
8 produce. A true and correct copy ofthe facsimile from AccuTech is attached hereto as Exhibit
10 10. Therefore, on May 20, 2011, my office served a second amended notice of Dr.
11 Hunsaker's deposition f6r June 1,2011, so that we could complete her deposition before the
12 discovery cut-off. We did so because we could not receive a date certain from Mr. Kondrick as to
13 When She would produce her documents or provide testimony. A true and correct copy of this
15 11. In the meantime, in early April, Etnyre's counsel raised an issue that Dr. Hunsaker
16 could not be deposed until after Mary Stewart had completed her deposition. Therefore,
17 Qualcomm provided Etnyre's counsel with two dates in April (when Mr. Kondrick indicated he
18 was available) to complete that deposition. When Mr. Kendrick chose not to take Ms. Stewart's
19 deposition on those dates, Qualcomm provided alternative dates in April (two of which were
20 used) and again in May. Qualcomm did so to ensure that Ms. Stewart's deposition would be
21 timely completed before Dr. Hunsaker's deposition. Unfortunately, Etnyre's counsel failed to
22 respond to the offer to produce Ms. Stewart. Indeed, Qualcomm had to call to confirm the day
23 before the offered date and was notified that Mr. Kondrick was otherwise engaged. Ms. Stewart's
24 further deposition has since been cancelled by Mr. Kondrick due to the ruiing on the motion for
25 summary adjudication. However, he will not agree to withdraw Dr. Hunsaker. A true and correct
26 copy of the correspondence in March through May regarding Ms. Stewart's deposition is attached
27 as Exhibit L.
28 12. Due to scheduling issues, in mid-May the parties anticipated being unable to
PAUL, PLEVIN,
SULLIVAN &
Decl. of Melissa Listug Klick ISO of MIL re 3
Hunsaker
CONNAUGHTON LLP
..
1 complete certain depositions before the discovery cut-off. Therefore, I prepared two stipulations
2 to complete certain depositions after the discovery cut-off. One of the stipulations included was
3 regarding Dr. Hunsaker's depositiOn. Qualcomm was unwilling to enter into a stipulation to have
4 Dr. Hunsaker's deposition taken after the discovery cut-off unless a proposed date was provided
5 and unless a stipulation was entered into that would allow the deposition to proceed promptly and
6 that would allow Qualcomm the opportunity to file a motion in limine, if appropriate, after the
7 deposition. On May 27, 2011 at approximately Noon my office received by facsimile Mr.
8 Kondrick's revisions to the proposed stipulations regarding other depositions and Dr. Hunsaker.
9 Attached hereto as Exhibit J is a true and correct copy of Mr. Kondrick's facsimile with his
10 proposed revisions to the Stipulations. The hearing on Qualcomm's motion for summary
11 adjudication was scheduled for May 27,2011 at 2:30 p.m. and I attended the hearing which lasted
12 the remainder of that afternoon. Therefore, I was unable to make Mr. Kondrick's suggested
13 revisions to the stipulations on May 27, 2011. On Saturday, May 28,2011 at approximately 1:08
14 p.m. i emailed Mr. Kondrick stating that I needed a date for the Hunsaker stipulation when she
15 would be available because we would not agree to a deposition on the eve of trial and attached the
16 revised stipulation regarding the other depositions. Attached hereto as Exhibit K is a true and
17 correct copy ofmy email to Mr. Kondrick. The parties never entered into such a stipulation
18 regarding Dr. Hunsaker.. Mr. Kondrick's response to my email ofMay 28,2011, was at the notice
19 of non-appearance, when Mr. Kondrick indicated he felt it was inappropriate for me to send him
20 an email on Saturday.
21 13. Qualcomm did not take Dr. Huhsaker' s noticed deposition off-calendar because
22 no stipulation was entered into and no objection was received to the deposition notice. Indeed, no
23 alternative dates were provided. Mr. Kondrick had notified us in the beginning of May that Dr.
24 Hunsaker had availability issues, however, because we did not receive an objection to the
25 deposition notice, we did not know definitively that she would not appear. However, she did not
26 appear for her deposition on June 1, 2011. Consequently, my office took a Notice ofNon-
27 Appearance on that date. A true and correct copy of the Notice of Non-Appearance is attached
28 hereto as Exhibit I. As of June 3,2011, at the close of discovery Dr Hunsaker had neither

SULLIVAN &
Decl. of Melissa Listug Kiick ISO ofMIL re 4

.
1 appeared for a deposition nor produced any documents responsive to our requests. On the record,
2 Mr. Kondrick reneged on the earlier deposition stipulation which he had signed. Therefore, I did
3 not file it even though he had signed it on May 31, 2011. When the parties met on June 3, 2011
4 Mr. Kondrick confirmed he did agree with the stipulation he signed on May 31, 2011 and, as a
5 result, the stipulation was then filed with the Court on June 3, 2011.
6 14. Even though no stipulation has been reached, my office had attempted to schedule
7 the deposition of Dr. Hunsaker between June 3 and June 17, 2011. These efforts were
8 unsuccessful as Mr. Kondrick did not provide a date or produce any records during this time. Last
9 Friday, June 17, 2011, Mr. Kondrick and I met and conferred regarding motions in limine and we
10 indicated that my office would be filing this motion. He would not agree to withdraw her.
11 15. After the completion ofthis motion, but just prior to my signing this declaration, I
12 received some emails from Dr. Hunsaker that indicate they include transcripts she has reviewed. I
13 have not had an opportunity to review this information. Dr. Hunsaker still has not provided her

As you know, on March 9th we contacted your office in an attempt to schedule the
depositions of your retained experts. We followed upon March 22nd with a letter to
schedule the depositions. We never heard back from you.
On March 31, we served a notice of deposition for your retained expert Johanna
Hunsaker for May 5, 2011. We attempted to serve Ms. Hunsaker with a subpoena for
production of documents of her file prior to her deposition and to serve her with her
deposition subpoena. Our process server was advised that Ms. Hunsaker is on
sabbatical for an indefinite amount of time.
Therefore, as we are unable to obtain her testimony we will be filing a motion in limine
to exclude her testimony at trial. If you believe that the information we have been
given is inaccurate, please provide us with dates in May when we can depose Ms.
Hunsaker with sufficient advance notice to subpoena and feceive her documents prior
to the deposition. Thank you.

'During the past week, our office received at least nine (9) letters from you. Almost
without exception. each ofthe letters wasalso ihxed tq ouromce. During the past month, there
have been inultiple motions going back and forth between our offices, and on average, there
have been at least two depositions each week during fhe past mbrIth, or so. Accordingly, it has
been challenging to mafre the time td read, much less respond in writing, to; each of your letters.
In addition, there have been more than a few moments that I viewed your marked propensity to .
craft letters in'such rapd succession to soggest that your laiN firm may have given up billing on
an hourly basil electing instead to bill your clients based on each letter gent. l
.
Since our law ofaco does notbill our clients on aperletter basis, we arenotatall
reluctani to consolidate our response to your m*ple letters by this single correspondence.
Accordingly, Iwill chronologicany try to respond to each of yout letters sent withing thepast
wet
in reference to your first letter dated April 25,2011, we will work *ith your office to
reschedule Tom Rouse's deposition to May 19, 2011 at 1:30 PM., and I lmve 36 notedmy
calendar. Inrelatidn to your second letter ofthat ssine date, Ms. Etnym has either responded, or
will respond in short order, to each of QUALCOMM's discovery requests. We do not fully
concur that Courtney Emyre waived any 6fher objections especially »ed on the present ..
circumstances.
In relation to your letter dated April 26, 2011, we agreed that our oface granted 10-day
extension for Jane Baker to make changes to volume 3 ofher deposition. Likewid, referencing
yourletter dated April 28, 2011, vye also confinn asimilar 10-day extension inrelationto the
deposition of Stacy Dumraof. Your second letter dated April 28,2011, deals with the deposition
. of Ms. Emym' s expert witness, Gene Komrad. ' If you will recall, inearly April, I Ihentioned that ·
Mr. Konnd had been Eospitalized. .He has since retonied to work As with all of plaintiffs
expert witnesses, our qffice will cdrtainly work closely with your office in scheduling the
depositions ofboth Mr. Konrad and Dr. Hunsaker. We would certmnly like to believe that we.
will enjoy equal consideralion Rom your offige in relatian to 1*16 depositions of Ms. Dolan and
Dr. Kalich. Inretation to documents to be produced by Mr. Konrad, our office will certainly
cooperate with any photocopy service, or other person, to ensure that Mr. Konrad' s woking
papers are m*de available. Our officer cannot vduch for any communications that occurred
bet*een Mr. Komad ond your photocopy service; however, we understand that Mr. Konrad

forth another date, then I look forward td seeing that order.
Weare also in receipt ofthe second letter from youroffice dated May 4 2011,
referencing Courtney Emyre's responses to QUALCOMM's recent requdsts for admission (set
one). As previously indicated, especially based on the cimnnstmlces imd fems oflhts malter, we
do not construe Courtney Etnym to have waived any and all objections that may pertain. Your
office has either received, or will shortly receive, complete responses to QUALCOMM's
discovery requests.
We am also in receipt ofyour recent amended notice of taking the videotape deposition
of Dr. Hwisaker. We understand diat, at present. her depos#ion is scheduled for May 25, 2011.

testimonies of QUALCOMM human resources and employee rel:dions employees, including
Jane Baker, Ms. Maybaum, Katie Wilson an21. Mary Stewart. While our oface lim wolked with ,

That on Wednesday, June 1, 2011, I appeared at

11
simply noting nonappearance of the withess.
MR. KONDRICK:
12
There is no nonappearance, for the
14
sham proceeding. It' s unfortunate that your office"

Well after 5:00 0'clock last night, I,received

22 to this.
2
MS. LISTUG KLICK: Well, I respectfully disagree
3
with much of what you just said. I don't think it's
4
productive to discuss it on the record. We have not
5
received a date when Ms -- Dr. Hunsaker is actually
6
available for her deposition, so that is why we are
7
doing this within the discovery cutoff in order to
8
preserve our client's rights.
9 MR. KONDRICK:
When is Mary Stewart gonna appear
10
for a continued deposition so we can conclude that and
11 get that t6 Hunsaker? You know that's the predicate to
12 Hunsaker going forward.
16
informed that you w6uld not be taking those depos. And
17
so, after repeated calls, we were finally told, no,
18
they're not going to go forward. And so that was our
13
understanding, that you did not need those further
20 sessions.
23
Ms. Stewart, I was unaware that there was an open
24
question as to Ms. Stewart at this time. And I don't

believe that Ms. Stewart has, at this time, another

Counsel, we just deposed

It was terminated early again because of her
5
medical condition. I don't know what games are being
6
played here, Counsel, but it's not --'you know, it's --
7
maybe this is the way you practice law, Melissa. I just
8 don't understand it. When is Mary Stewart going to
9
appear for her continued dep6sition?

know, we're happy -- discovery closes on Friday. So if
25
you want to talk ab6ut Mary Stewart and any issue
1
regarding a witness such as Mary Stewart, we'd be happy
2
to db that. If you could either lay out, in a letter or
3
an e-mail, what the issue is and what you want to do
4 about it.
MR. KONDRICK:
5
Counsel, I'd love to put letters out
6 to yoU.
8
MR. KONDRICK: You keep writing letters to me. And
9
I can't write letters when I'm in your depositions down
10 here in your office. We have advanced trial review
11
orders and j6iht trial readiness conference reports I'm
13
today. To get- your e-mail after the close of business
14
last night, well after 5:00 0'clock, I get an e-mail
15
from you that you're going forward with this deposition,
16
that's a game, Counsel, and I would be working on other
18
deposition er other depositions in this case. We have a
19 tight depositi6n schedule.
20
Afid, right now, I'm in a position right how because
21

22 the Court. And I'll indicate in. the trial readine·ss
23
conference report that this case is not ready for trial
24
in fact because of the noncooperation of counsel in
25
relation to making witnesses available.

And, Counsel, I think that if you --

witness, Dr. Hunsaker, was not going to appear today.
22
when you knew that she was not going to appear?
23
MS. LISTUG KLICK: As I've stated previously --
24
well, I haven't stated this on the record, but since
1
Dr. Hunsaker's testimony in this matter. Discovery

We have given y6u dates on Dr. Kalish and Ms. Fuchs
5
Dolan, and we have not heard back from you on those

Are you in agreemeht, Counsel, that
16 stipul ations.
21
in relation to how their depositiens are treated for
23
stipulation was for their depositions to proceed after
25 that.stipulation now?
2
stipulation, then we will have an agreement. If you
3
don't want to sign the stipulation, we may not have ah
4 agreement. If there is a change you want to make to the
6 record.
12
in relation to earlier stipulations extending the
13
discovery past the discovery cutoff date, some· hames
19
the other stipulation again yesterday; based on your
21
motion in limine issue, and if -- if it's acceptable to
22
you, I am proposing that stipulation based upon what I
23
understood. But until it's signed, we don't have an
24
agreement because apparently there's something you don't
25 agree about it.
10
4
associates from your office to go there. I can't be in
6
I signed and returned one stipulation in reliance,
7
in reliance, Counsel, on there being a stipulation in
10
proceed on that same basis with regard to Hunsaker, then
13
make your mind up, Counsel, as to how you're playing.
18
discovery cutoff date, and now we're here on June 1st t6
19
do a certificate of nonappearance, and that's --
23
Dr. Hunsaker's deposition after the discovery cut6ff if
11
1
deposition after the discovery cutoff. We will be happy
2
to da so if we have that stipulation, which is why we
3 provided that stipulation to you. It is our
5
depositiens after discovery cutoff, and so we have
6
agreed to that, and We put that in a stipulation, which
7
I understand to be sighed. If you --
10
other stipulatieh last week, so if -- initially, and
11 then we got a comment back from you. So we added a
17
principle with a partner in your firm, Mr. Sullivan. As
18
a result, you, Counsel, sent my office some draft
21
didn't see uhtil yesterday, the 3 lst, in the morning.
2'2
So I'm trying to ge as quickly as I can. The issue is
23
net -- I'm just saying, you're sending me things on
24
weekends, you're sending me correspondence and notices
12
1
one. Number two, don't play this game. of scheduling
2
certificate of nonappearances when you know the witness
8
even oh an expedited basis, is done yet from last
10
I'm just telling you right new and putting you on
11
notice that in relation to -- I'm taking from today's
12
date, this morning, a very different position with you.
13
And one of the reasons I -- I don't feel that you and I
14
have good communications, Counsel, because you practice
20
And I talked to your partner, or partner.in this
21
firm, Mr. Sullivan, and we come to an understanding on
22
certain matters, and I get a stipul'ation from you» that
25
time for your gamesmanship out ef this office. I would
13

ask you to act in a more reas6nable and good-faith
4
certificates of nonappearance for instance-for today.
6
reputation as none of that -- the insinuation in that is
7
completely inaccurate. But that's your prerogative.
10
Counselor, if you're not sending me stipulations or
11
letters c6nfirming agreements that we never entered
13
MS. LISTUG KLICK: I have never sent you a lettur
14
on an agreement that it was not my understanding we had
15 entered into.
21
MS. LISTUG KLICK: We have conferred fer many
22
hours. .And just as this notice of nonappearance, we are
23
unable generally to come to anything productive and
24
actually schedule things, the almost 40 depositions that
25
you wanted to take in this case, and the vast extensive
14
1
litigation that have been done in this case. And so we
2
have conferred for hours and hours throughout the .last
3 year-and-a=half, And we have also tried to communicate
4
to resolve issues, to provide withesaes, to give you
5
dates, even though we don't get them, to schedule what
6
you need, to get you the information that yeu want. We
7
have done that at every turn.

As I mentioned earlier this week, we had reason to believe that Mary Stewart's
medical condition is such that her provider does not believe she can participate jn a
deposition until mid-April 2011 due to her drug therapy and physical condition. Today
we received confirmation from Ms. Stewart that this is the case and that she is
underg6ing treatment in March.
Therefore, she is available for half days during the weeks of April 18 and 22, 2011.
Again, we can block out a three-hour time period for the deposition, but she may need
briefand frequent breaks. Please let us know what dates you are available during
those weeks, how many dates you will need, and we will schedule her deposition.
Thank you.

Thanks for the availability dates. The Umplyby & Bracewell dates strike me as

PAUL, PLEVIN,
SULLIVAN & Motion In Limine To Exclude The Videotaped
CONNAUGHTON LLP Deposition Of Mack-Baker
.
1 I.
2 INTRODUCTION
3 This motion seeks to exclude the videotape of the deposition of Jane Mack Baker
4 ("Baker") because plaintiff Courtney Etnyre ("Etnyre") chose to videotape only the last two days
5 of Baker's deposition after a full day of harassing, intimidating, and browbeating questioning.
6 The introduction of this video is simply unfair to Baker to show the intimidated witness, when the
7 aggressive behavior of Etnyre's counsel was not captured on Videotape. Baker will be present to
8 testify and the jury will have ample opportunity to observe her as a witness at that time.
10 motion for a protective order to terminate the deposition of Baker after she endured three days of
11 redundant, hostile questioning and unduly intimidating conduct by Etnyre's counsel. In its April
12 29, 2011 order granting the motion, this Court agreed with Qualcomm as to the nature of Etnyre's
19
(Emphasis added.)1

II.
21
ARGUMENT
22
California Evidence Code section 352(b) provides that the Court may exclude evidence "if
23
its probative value is substantially outweighed by the possibility that its admission will... create a
24
substantial danger of undue prejudice, or of confusing the issues, or ofmisleading the jury."
25

2011, regarding Qualcomm Incorporated's Motion for Protective Order to terminate the Baker deposition.

PAUL, PLEVIN, 1
SULLIVAN & Motion In Limine To Exclude The Videotape Of
Mack-Baker
CONNAUGHTON LLP
..
1 Here, Baker was the HR representative who investigated Etnyre's claim of harassment
2 against defendant Micky Minhas ("Minhas") in June 2006, and concluded that Minhas'
3 relationship with Etnyre was consensual. Etnyre took Baker's deposition over three grueling
4 days. However, only the second and third days were videotaped, and the first day of her
5 deposition was not. Qualcomm seeks to exclude the Videotape of the second and third days
6 because the partial videotaping of Baker's deposition is one-sided and therefore may mislead the
7 jury in assessing Baker as a witness, and so cause undue prejudice to Qualcomm. The jury would
8 assume Baker was a scared witness based on viewing only the partial videotape of her deposition.
9 The jury would not have the benefit of observing by video the threatening and browbeating
10 questioning in the first day ofdeposition that caused Baker's shaken demeanor in the videotaped
12 The videotaped portion of Baker's deposition only gives a partial, and not complete, story
13 of Baker's unduly hostile and harassing deposition. Etnyre should not be allowed to take
15 in its order terminating the Baker deposition - and counsel's decision to videotape only a portion
16 of Baker's deposition. The videotape of the second and third days of Baker's deposition gives the
17 wrong impression to the jury without the benefit of any videotape of the first day.
18 III. . (
19 CONCLUSION
20 For all of these reasons, the videotaped deposition of Jane Mack-Baker should be
21 excluded.

APPEARANCES
H Kondrick, counsel, present for Plaintiff(s).
Melissa Klick, counsel, present for Defendant(s).
Claudette Wilson, specially appearing for counsel LEONID ZILBERMAN, present for Defendant(s).
Mike Sullivan, cousnel, present on behalf of Defendant Qualcomm Incofporated
The Couft hears oral argument and MODIFIES AND CONFIRMS the tentative ruling as follows:
(1) MOTION TO COMPEL FURTHER DISCOVERY [Special Interrogatories Set Twol by defendant
Qualcomm Incorporated is DENIED.
Plaintiffs opposition was filed late. The court, in its discretion, has considered the late-filed papers.
Counsel is advised that the court expects compliance with all statutory procedural requirements and in
the future, it will not consider papers not timely filed.
The court, in his discretion, has considered plaintiffs late filed opposition but in the future will not
consider late filed papers.
Defendant shall provide a further response to Request for Production (Set Two) No. 44, seeking a copy
of plaintiffs Facebook page by May 13, 2011. The court has considered plaintiffs privacy concerns, but
she has made a claim for emotional distress which compels disclosure.
The subsequent production shall be consistent with the parameters set forth in EEOC v. Simply Storage
Management LLC (S.D., Ind. 2010) 270 F.R.D. 430, 436. The parties shall work together in good faith to
ensure prompt disclosure in conformance with this ruling.
The court has granted a protective order prohibiting the fourth day of deposition for witnesses Scanlon
and Bakef for the reasons set forth above. Accordingly, plaintiffs motion to compel their depositions is
denied.
Qualcomm claims it seeks to depose plaintiffs counsel concerning the 'interactive' process to return her
to work after she returned from medical leave. During a portion of this process, plaintiff requested that
her counsel replace her such that her counsel communicated directly with Qualcomm for a period of six
months. Specifically, Qualcomm claims it needs to depose plaintiffs counsel to obtain information about
counsel's communications with Qualcomm about potential accommodations, all discussions counsel had
with plaintiffs medical providers or plaintiff about her physical or mental restrictions that related to the
communications with Qualcomm and to confirm that he produced all documents pursuant to subpoena.
Depositions of opposing counsel are presumptively improper, severely restricted, and require
"extremely" good cause-a high standard. There are strong policy considerations against deposing an
opposing counsel. Therefore, California applies a three-prong test in considering the propriety of
attorney depositions. First, does the proponent have other practicable means to obtain the information?
Second, is the information crucial to the preparation of the case? Third, is the information subject to a
privilege? (Carehouse Convalescent Hosp. v. Superior Court (2006) 143 Cal.App.4th 1558, 1562-63)
The court finds that Qualcomm has not shown extremely good cause. First, it appears the requested
information can be obtained by less intrusive methods, such as special interrogatories or requests for
admissions. Qualcomm already has access to communications between it and plaintiffs counsel.
Second, while Qualcomm seems to want the information to show it did engage in good faith in the
interactive process and/or plaintiff or counsel did not, it is not clear that Qualcomm needs the requested
information from plaintiffs counsel to assert these arguments. Lastly, to the extent defendant seeks
document pertaining to communications with Qualcomm, including notes from phone calls and notes
from any meetings regarding or relating to plaintiff, it appears these may be attorney work product.
Therefore the subpoena issued to compel plaintiffs counsel to appear for deposition and produce
documents is quashed.

Motion In Limine To Exclude Evidence Of

CONNAUGHTON LLP
Childhood Abuse
1 I.
2 INTRODUCTION
4 regarding the physical, emotional, or sexual abuse allegedly suffered by plaintiff Courtney
5 Etnyre («Etnyre") as a child at the hands of her family members. Such evidence is
6 undocumented, highly inflammatory, and irrelevant. The prejudicial impact of such evidence -
7 introduced solely to create sympathy for the Etnyre - would outweigh any probative value that
8 Etnyre could assert, and would serve only to confuse the issues.
9 II.
13 It is axiomatic that "[nlo evidence is admissible except relevant evidence." (Evid. Code §
15 disprove any disputed fact that is of consequence to the determination of the action." (Id. at §
16 210.) Evidence Code section 352 further provides that "[tlhe court in its discretion may exclude
17 evidence if its probative value is substantially outweighed by the probability that its admission
18 will (a) necessitate undue consumption of time or (b) create substantial danger of undue prejudice,
20 III.
23 In conversations with her physician and social worker, Etnyre has raised allegations of
24 past physical, emotional, and sexual abuse perpetrated by various family members. For example:
25 • Etnyre alleges she was fondled by one uncle (Exh. A, Pollard Depo. at 100:25-
26 101:5);
27 • Etnyre alleges she was forced to change clothes in front of another un¢le, who also
1 • Etnyre alleges that her two older brothers were physically and emotionally aBusive
3 Etnyre's testimony about the alleged abuse she suffered twenty or thirty years ago will not,
4 in any conceivable way, tend to prove or disprove any disputed fact of consequence in the present
5 action. Because such evidence has no probative value, it is necessarily outweighed by the
6 substantial danger of undue prejudice that assuredly would result from its admittance.
7 Moreover, Qualcomm sought certain evidence regarding Etnyre's discussions about her
8 past, but recent sexual history at Qualcomm. Based on Code of Civil Procedure section 2017.220,
9 the Court denied Qualcomm's motion to compel on April 29, 2011. (See Minute Order dated
10 April 29, 2011.) Therefore, if Etnyre is allowed to present evidence ofpast sexual abuse, based
11 on the Evidence Code, Qualcomm has no ability to present evidence of a normal sexual history
12 after her alleged childhood issues. Indeed, Qualcomm does not wish to make this trial about
13 Etnyre's sexual history. The focus ought to be on the relevant facts of the events at issue - with
14 both sides refraining from discussion or introducing highly inflammatory evidence of Etnyre's
15 prior sexual history. If any evidence of Etnyre's childhood sexual abuse were admitted, Etnyre
16 would be permitted to portray a selective sexual history that casts her as a sympathetic victim.
18 IV.
19 CONCLUSION
20 For all ofthese reasons, any evidence relating to Etnyre's alleged past abuse should be
21 excluded including questions to Dr. DeeAnn Wong, Arlene Pollard, Dr. Charles Nelson, Dr.
22 Judith Matson, or Dr. Raymond Fidaleo and portions of Exhibits 90,951,958 and 959 pertaining

1 L
2 INTRODUCTION
3 Despite Plaintiff Courtney Etnyre's ("Etnyre") designation ofDr. DeeAnn Wong and
4 Arlene Pollard as expert witnesses in this case, both have testified unequivocally that they cannot
5 give expert opinions. Defendant Qualcomm Incorporated ("Qualcomm") agrees. Neither Dr.
6 Wong nor Ms. Pollard is qualified to offer any expert opinion as to whether the sexual assault
7 alleged by Etnyre actually occurred, whether the symptoms treated by both caregivers were in fact
8 caused by the alleged sexual assault, or whether the alleged sexual assault actually caused any
9 emotional distress. Based on the witnesses' own admissions, Qualcomm respectfully requests
11 II.
12 FACTUAL BACKGROUND
13 Etnyre began seeing Dr. Wong, a licensed psychiatrist, on August 25,2006, and continues
14 to see Dr. Wong through the present. (Exh. A, Wong Depo. at 25:4-9; 28:2-4.) Dr. Wong's role
15 is to "oversee [Etnyre's] psychiatric care, primarily treating and managing her chronic major
16 depression as well as her post-traumatic stress disorder." (Exh. A, Wong Depo. at 29:18-25.)
17 During a typical session with Etnyre, Dr. Wong "check[s] in with her and find[s] out what has
18 transpired with her since the last appointment," in addition to "trying to find out if there's any
19 ongoing symptoms ofdepression or PTSD, [or] if she's having any side effects from medication."
20 Ud. at 31.1-10.)
21 Dr. Wong admitted that she has never engaged in any forensic psychiatry where she was
22 "asked to determine whether or not an individual did or did not experience certain events." (Id. at
23 17:25-18:4.) Nor has Dr. Wong undergone any specialized training in forensic psychiatry. (Id at
24 18:5-13.) In her eleven years as a practicing psychiatrist, Dr. Wong has engaged in approximately
25 two cases involving forensic psychiatry, both of which involved providing a second opinion on
27 Regarding the present case, Dr. Wong declared unequivocally, "I'm the treating physician,
28 not the expert Witness." (Id. at 58:24-59:4.) Her sole focus is "treating [Etnyre's] major
PAUL, PLEVIN, 1
SULLIVAN & Motion In Limine To Exclude Evidence Of Wong
CONNAUGHTON LLP And Pollard Opinions
..
1 depression and PTSD, not determining what events did or did not happen at Qualcomm." (Id. at
2 56:16-19.)
3 Arlene Pollard is a licensed clinical social worker who provides "counseling and
4 psychotherapy in private practice." (Exh. B, Pollard Depo. at 17:10-23.) Ms. Pollard treated
5 Etnyre as a,client from October 17, 2007 through October 28,2010. (Id. at 28:18-21; 11:20-25.)
6 Ms. Pollard stated that she does "no expert work" and that she "just treat[s] people." Ud
7 at 19:4-8.) She also testified that she does not do any "forensic work" where she would"try to
8 analyze what the problem is that the individual is having." (Id. at 19:9-14,) When informed by
9 Qualcomm's counsel at her deposition that she had been named in Etnyre's expert designation in
10 this case, Ms. Pollard reacted that it was "news to [her]" and that she was seeing Etnyre's expert
12 III.
15 Qualcomm seeks to exclude any expert opinion from Dr. Wong or Ms. Pollard regarding
16 whether or not the events alleged by Etnyre in this case actually took place, whether the symptoms
17 experienced by Etnyre were caused by the alleged sexual assault, or whether the alleged sexual
18 assault actually caused Etnyre any emotional distress. The practice of evaluating whether or not a
19 person has undergone the experiences that they claim they have is more commonly referred to as
20 forensic psychiatry. Forensic psychiatrists "evaluate and testify in cases of alleged emotional
21 harm and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)," where it "is necessary to reach a deep
22 understanding of the person's life history, so as to identify prior experiences that may have
23 created a special vulnerability to trauma (as opposed to prior impaired functioning), as well as to
26 Massachusetts Academy of Trial Attorneys (1993).1 When a forensic psyehiatrist is "acting in the

1 capacity of a forensic specialist, he or she is not providing therapy to alleviate the patient's
2 suffering or to help the patient be free and healthy, but an objective evaluation for use by the
4 Here, it is evident from the testimony of Dr. Wong and Ms. Pollard that neither is
5 qualified (or prepared) to offer an expert opinion on whether or not Etnyre actually experienced
6 the alleged sexual assault. The treaters have not received detailed accounts of the alleged sexual
7 assault so as to even have sufficient information to opine whether or not it occurred. Further,
8 neither obtained detailed personal histories, as would be required to properly make the inquiry
9 about whether or not an event occurred, whether or not the patient suffered symptoms prior to the
10 alleged assault, or whether current symptoms were caused by a former event. The reason for this
12 The role of both of these individuals was to treat Etnyre's then-current symptoms. Neither
13 Dr. Wong nor Ms. Pollard ever performed any objective evaluation as to Whether the alleged
14 assault took place. (Exh. A, Wong Depo. at 61:4-8; Exh. B, Pollard Depo. at 65:10-14.) Dr.
15 Wong explained that her treatment of Etnyre would be the same regardless of whether or not the
16 assault actually took place, because her focus is on current symptoms. (Exh. A, Wong Depo. at
17 70:17-71:15.) Ms. Pollard likewise made it clear that the only relevant fact to her treatment was
18 that Etnyreperceived she had been assaulted, (Exh. B, Pollard Depo. at 65:10-19.) Neither
19 purports to know whether or not such symptoms existed befbre the alleged sexual assault.
20 Moreover, Dr. Wong expressly stated that she cannot be an expert witness in this case
21 because she does not meet the requirement that an expert forensic psychiatrist be an objective
22 observer:
24 Q: Why not?
26 physician, my bias is towards the patient with objectivity. An expert witness, that
27 person needs to be completely objective to the case and not have a relationship with
3 A: Correct.
5 IV.
6 CONCLUSION
7 For all ofthese reasons, any evidence relating to expert testimony ofDr. Wong and Ms.
8 Pollard should be excluded, specifically, but not limited to questioning relating to the following
9 excerpts from their depositions: Wong 35:6-40:20; 66:10-67:2; and Pollard 46:19-47:18; 104:12-

Dr. Harold J. Bursztajn, Associate Clinical Professor and Co-Director, Program in Psychiatry and the
Law, Harvard Medical School at the Massachusetts Mental Health Center, practices both as a
clinician and as a forensic psychiatrist consulting to attorneys and institutions,
A forensic psychiatrist is a medical doctor with, first, the additional training of a psychiatrist, and then
with special training and experience (forensic) in the application of psychiatric knowledge to
questions posed by the legal system. A forensic psychiatrist may also have a clinical practice.
However, when acting in the capacity of a forensic specialist, he or she is not providing therapy to
alleviate the patient's suffering or to help the patient be free and healthy, but an objective evaluation
for use by the retaining institution, attorney, or court.
Forensic psychiatrists use their special knowledge ofthe medical-legal interface to testify in cases of
medical malpractice, including the explosion of accusations of sexual exploitation of patients by
health professionals. Informed consent, which involves subtle questions of competence, can be a
crucial factor in determining liability. In one recent case, I testified on behalf of a woman who
(together with her family) was awarded $1.5 million in damages (including interest) because of the
consequences of her physicians' failure to engage her in an informed-consent process before
performing a cesarean section.
6/15/2011
http://www. forensic-psych.com/articles/artAskexp01.php
Forensic Psychiatry & Medicin the Expert Page 2 of 5
Although few defendants win a verdiut of"not guilty by reason of insanity" (NGRI) in court, a larger
number receive a stipulated NGRI on the basis of a forensic psychiatric evaluation. In an even wider
range of cases, a defendant's mental state can make a major difference as to whether a jury finds the
necessary premeditation, or malice aforethought, to warrant conviction for (say) first-degree murder,
as opposed to a lesser charge. The same considerations may be brought to bear in sentencing
fecommendations as well.
The forensic psychiatric consultation can also be a vital aid to determining whether a client is
perjuring himself, or is competent to confess. For example, a schizophrenic man spent nine years in
prison in Florida for a double murder to which he had made a false, coerced confession which an
expert forensic psychiatric consultation couldhave revealed to be invalid. Last year my testimony
helped win acquittal for a psychotically depressed man who had confessed to embezzling city funds
that he had never taken.
What are some of the other services a forensic psychiatrist can offer me?
In addition to the highly visible role of expert witness, the forensic psychiatrist performs numerous
consultative services out of the public eye. These include client management witness evaluation,
witness preparation, jury selection, and establishing witness credibility. You can decide in each
individuai case which of these services will be most helpful to your client But it helps to engage in an
ongoing dialogue with the consulting expert.
Often they will, because they don't understand the value ofthe fofensic psychiatrisis contribution.
Trial attorneys, even when they themselves are ccsnvinced of the need to retain a forensic expert, often
must work hard to persuade the client that this additional investment is necessary. Specifically, a
plaintiff who is suing for emotional damages may be reluctant to talk about traumatic experiences that
carry a stigma. This fear and inhibition tend to be expressed in a stereotypical devaluation of
psychiatry. The client thinks, "It won't get me much, and it probably will cause me trouble." On the
defense side, clients who are already unhappy about being sued or prosecuted typically displace and
vent their anger by objecting, if not to the attorney's, then to the expert's fees.
What if my client says, "Isn't one psychiatrist as good as another? Why not get a "hired gun"
who will do the job in the least time and give us the opinion we're looking for?"
Although the popular stereotype of the "hired gun" is largely a historical anachronism, it still
conditions the way clients view expert witnesses. The hired guns that are still around can sometimes
save money for a hard-pressed attorney and can mislead a jury when.the opposing side has not
retained a psychiatrist who has done an in-depth forensic evaluation. However, in my experience they

are never effective when rebutted by an expert with a deep understanding based on meticulous
evaluation of the available medical/legal evidence.
What if my client says, "Why not just have my treating psychiatrist do the evaluation for the
court?"
If there ever was a case of a client being penny-wise and pound-foolish, it is here. The client who
makes this request has no idea -- until it happens -- how devastating it can be to sacrifice the
confidentiality of the therapeutic relationship and have one's formerly empathic ally reporting on one's
innermost experience in court. How can the client ever trust a therapi st enough to enter into therapy
again?
Not Only that, but the use of a treating psychiatrist in place of a forensic psychiatrist has, in my
experience, generally damaged the client's case. That is because the forensic psychiatrist's specialized
expertise "trumps" the clinician's less well-informed opinion. In every civil action in which I've
served as expert for the defense while the plainti ff has offered only the report of a treating clinician,
the case has been summarily dismissed, settled for nuisance value, or yielded a trial award far below
the plaintiffs expectations. This just happened in a suit against a hospital for alleged sexual
misconduct by a nurse and supervisory negligence. The judge essentially said, "The defense has an
expert's report; the plaintiff doesn't. Case dismissed."
In a criminal case, the defense attorney who retains the treating clinician as an expert witness may be
in for a rude shock. The treating clinician may tum out to be prejudiced against the defendant merely
by virtue ofthe act the defendant has committed. Having been trained in medical school to " first, do
no harm," the general psychiatrist may become so preoccupied with the harm done to the victim or to
society as to lose sight of the harm being done to the clienVdefendant.
A therapist engages in an empathic exploration of the patient's subjective point of view, which entails
a degree of emotional identification and a "Willing suspension of disbelief." A forensic psychiatrist,
by c6ntrast, undertakes an objective investigation of cause-and-effect. relationships, using multiple
perspectives and information sources. The two roles are so incompatiblethat the American Academy
of Psychiatfy and the Law considers it unethical to combine them when the alternative of a forensic
psychiatrist who is notthe treating psychiatrist is available.
How, then, can I convince my client to expend limited funds to retain a forensic psychiatric
expert?
First, by explaining that, whether or not you retain such an expert, your client's adversary may well do
so. As you probably have observed, forensic psychiatrists are a growing presence throughout the legal
system, working behind the scenes as well as on the witness stand to inform attorneys, judges, and
juries about why people do what they do. Next, emphasize that forensic expertise is effective. I've
never testified on the losing side in a case in which the opposing side has failed to put forward a
forensic psychiatric expert of its own, or has hired a psychiatrist who performed a perfunctory
examination, the st¢reotypical "hired gun."

Forensic Psychiatry & Medicinsk the Expert Page 4 of 5
This evaluation must be conducted with subtlety and delicacy. The examinee not only may falsify or
misattribute, but also may minimize or deny symptoms oftraumatic stress or exhibit amnesia or
denial of past events wh6se remembrance evokes such stress. Thus, people under stress may forget
details that subsequently emerge, or they may embellish their memories and engage in wishful
thinking. Neither of these distortions ipso facto constitutes malingering or perjury.
The essence of forensic psychiatry lies in creating a working alliance with the person being examined
for the limited purposes of the examination. It is to have the person be a collaborator (albeit
sometimes a reluctant, conflicted, or inhibited one) in reconstructing the mental, emotional, and
physical states in question.
Not if the psychiatrist is practicing according to the ethical guidelines published by the American
Academy of Psychiatry and the Law. Contingency fees are ruled out because they compromise the
objectivity of the evaluation. Attorneys who pressure an expert witness to work on a contingency
basis are, in effect, asking the expert to engage in unprofessional and unethical conduct.
Can I be held liable for not retaining a forensic psychiatrist if my client loses the case?
I have been retained in several cases of legal malpractice based on an attorney's failure to obtain a
forensic psychiatric consultation. The defense has prevailed in cases where it could be established
that, had a f6rensic psychiatrist been retained, there would have been no finding helpful to the client.

As with other forms of negligence, there is no liability if there is no damage. The case would hinge,
therefore, on whether a forensic consultation would likely have been helpful to the clienfs case.
