INTRODUCTION
2

3 Pursuant to the Court's rulings on Defendant Qualcomm Incorporated's ("Qualcomm")

4 two motions for summary adjudication, the focus of this trial has been narrowed to Plaintiff

5 Courtney Etnyre's ("Etnyre") claims of alleged sexual battery and assault, sexual harassment and

6 intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress based on the conduct of Minhas between

7 2005 and April 2006. Based on the rulings ofthe Court, Qualcomm seeks specifically to exclude

8 all evidence after December 31, 2006, that do not directly relate to Mr. Minhas' alleged

9 conduct or Qualcomm's investigation of that conduct. However, Qualcomm anticipates that

10 Etnyre will attempt to expand her remaining legal theories to encompass several issues and/or

11 claims that have already been summarily adjudicated in favor of Qualcomm.

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.

II.

18
ETNYRE MUST BE BARRED FROM RELITIGATING ISSUES OF FACT AND LAW

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

22 437c(n)(1), which provides, in pertinent part:

23 If a motion for summary adjudication is granted, at the trial ofthe


action, the cause or causes of action within the action... as to the
24 motion which has been granted shall be deemed to be established
and the action shall proceed as to the cause or causes of action . . .
25 remaining.

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

28 adjudicated "shall" be deemed established, and the trial "shall" proceed on the "remaining" causes

. .

1 of action only. (Code Civ. Proc. § 437c(n)(1).) As the Courts ofAppeal have observed:

2 This language does not anticipate relitigation of issues which have


already been established. Indeed, if that were the case, motions for
3 partial summary judgment would be exercises in futility as attorneys
would face the prospect of endlessly rearguing an issue which they
4 already exhaustively addressed in their motions for summary
judgment.

(Conway v. Bughouse, Inc. (1980) 105 Cal.App.3d 194, 202; Cal-Vada A ircrq#, Inc v. Superior
6
Court (1986) 179 Cal.App.3d 435, 446-447.) This is consistent with the purpose of summary
7
adjudication, which is "to dispose of one or more issues before trial so that the parties may focus
8
on the questions remaining." (Conway, supra, 105 Cal.App.3d at p. 202; Downey Sav. & Loan
9
Assn. v. Ohio Cas. Ins. Co. (1987) 189 Cal.App.3d 1072, 1086.)
10
This Court made a number of rulings on Qualcomm'6 two Motions for Summary
11
Adjudication that completely dispose of the following causes of action against Qualcomm in this
12
matter 1 :
13
• Negligence
14
• Discrimination

15
• Retaliation
16
• Breach of contract and breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing
17
• Failure to Accommodate
18
• Wrongful termination in violation of public policy
19
Specifically, the remaining claims are the first (sexual battery), second (assault), and fifth
20
causes of action (intentional infliction of emotional distress), along with the sexual harassment
21
claim within the fourth cause of action. (Id.)
22
In deciding these claims against Etnyre, the Court provided the following background:
23

Plaintiff worked as a paralegal in the patent department starting in


24 May 2003. She reported to defendant Minhas from June 2003
until August 2006. Plaintiff claims she was sexually harassed and
25 assaulted by Minhas in February 2006. Plaintiff reported the
conduct to Qualcomm in April 2006 and she was transferred to
26

1 Attached to this motion as Exhibits A, B and C are the Court's minute orders dated January 21, 2011,
27
June 9, 2011 and June 14, 2011 regarding Qualcomm's Motions for Summary Adjudication.

1 another manager in July 2006. Plaintiff filed a worker's


compensation claim for the sexual harassment/physical assault in
2 November 2006. She filed the first ofthree DFEH claims in
February 2007, alleging sex/gender discrimination and harassment.
3 Around this time, another supervisor, Scanlon, asked plaintiff to
join her team. Scanlon is female. Plaintiff accepted.
4
Exh. B [Emphasis added.]
5
This is the only portion of her allegations that remains relevant. From early 2007 through
6
the endofher employment in March 2010, Etnyre's claims of retaliation, failure to accommodate,
7
breach of contract, discrimination, and wrongful termination have been eliminated from the case.
8
Specifically, Etnyre's claims related to her paid administrative leave and performance
9
improvement plan in fall 2007 were dismissed. ("Plaintghas not identitied a triable issue to
10
show that thepaidleave and PIP weremotivated byhersexor gender.'5 Further,Etnyre wason
11
a medical leave from November 2007 through her return in February 2009 and her claims related
12
to failure to accommodate her during this period have been dismissed. ("Plaintifhas not shown
13
evidence that defendant did not comply with her doctor's restrictions or otherwise failed to
14
accommodate her.7 Finally, Etnyre's claims related to her termination were dismissed.
15
C'Plaintiff has not identijled a triable issue to show that her termination was based on her
16
disability sex or gender and in any event, she has not shown that her termination was a pretext
17
for any discrimination. " "Plaintiffhas not identified any admissible triable issue to show a causal
18
link between her complaints 6r discrimination and harassment and the employer 's actions.n
19
(Exh. B.)
20
Despite these rulings, Qualcomm anticipates thatftnyre will seek to relitigate several of
21
these summarily adjudicated matters at trial. The summarily adjudicated matters all pertain to
22
events that occurred in mid to late 2007 through her termination on March 12, 2010. Notably,
23
she had changed supervisors twice since the events at issue - and her supervisor was not even
24
employed by Qualcomm during the relevant period. Significantly, these events bear no relation
25
whatsoever to the claims remaining at trial, alleged sexual harassment and assault/battery, which
26
purportedly occurred in February 2006 and for which Qualcomm concluded its investigation in
27
2006. These facts and issues summarily adjudicated cannot be relitigated and, moreover, bear no

1 relevance to the claims on trial.

2 Accordingly, Etnyre should be precluded from presenting evidence, witnesses or

3 testimony as to any of these issues or claims she lost at summary adjudication. Namely, anything

4 after December 31, 2006 that does not directly pertain to Minhas' conduct, or investigation of his

5 conduct, should be excluded (e.g., any evidence regarding Etnyre's performance improvement

6 plan ("PIP"), administrative leave, medical leave, application for other positions, requests for

7 accommodation such as reduced schedule, and her termination).

8 A. Testimony or Evidence Regarding Etnyre's Failed Claims is Irrelevant and Must be

9 Excluded.

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

15 2006, and should be excluded for this additional reason.

16 B. Testimony or Evidence Regarding Etnyre's Failed Claims Would be Extremely

17 Prejudicial and a Waste of Time.

18 Finally, California Evidence Code section 352 provides that the Court may exclude

19 evidence: "if its probative value is substantially outweighed by the possibility that its admission

20 will (a) necessitate undue consumption of time or (b) create a substantial danger of undue

21 prejudice, or of confusing the issues, or of misleading the jury."

22 If Etnyre is allowed to relitigate her summarily adjudicated claims it would be a waste of

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

.

1 evidence, Qualcomm must be allowed to introduce evidence of the behavior and conduct of

2 Etnyre that led Qualcomm to take any actions toward her, its response to her, and the reasons that

3 it took the actions it did. The danger of undue prejudice, waste of time, confusion of the real

4 issues, and misleading the jury is too great.

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).)

11 III.

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

19 termination). This would include any evidence concerning economic damages resulting from

20 Etnyre's administrative leave or temlination.2 Specifically, Qualcomm seeks to exclude the


21 following related exhibits, including but not limited to: Exhibits 61,70,195,199,308,312,351,

22 445,487,488,489,531,539,562,590,597,601,628,633,634,636,638,666,676,698,699,

23 700,708,721,726 and 727. Further, Qualcomm seeks to exciude the related questi6ning of the

24 following witnesses, including but not limited to: Courtney Etnyre, Michele Raymond, Diane

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

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:

37-200940101537 ETNYRE v. MINHAS

MOTION FOR SUMMARY ADJUDICATION by defendant Qualcomm Incorporated is GRANTED in


part and DENIED in part.

Defendant's objections # 1, 2,4, 5 and 7 are sustained; all other objections overruled. Plaintiff's
objections overruled.

Defendant identified 10 issues for the court to adjudicate:

(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

CASE TITLE: Etnyre vs. Minhas CASE NO: 37-2009-00101537-CU-OE.CTL

(10) 8th cause of action for wrongful termination fails because plaintiff cannot demonstrate she was
terminated for an unlawful reason.

Summary adjudication is granted as to Issues #2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. Summary adjudication is


denied as to Issues #1 and 3. -

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

CASE TITLE: Etnyre vs. Minhas CASE NO: 37-200940101537-CU-OE-CTL

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.

appears sdme disagreement alnong counsel as to whether any claims remain in the 4th cause of

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
Qualcomm as well as Minhas.

2 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

3 Pursuant to the Court's rulings on defendant Qualcomm Incorporated' s ("Qualcomm")

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.)

21 Additionally, Etnyre testified to an isolated event in May 2004 with a Qualcomm

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
PAUL, PLEVIN, 1

SULLIVAN &
Events
CONNAUGHTON LLP
..

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.

8 II.

9 ARGUMENT

10 A. Testimony or Evidence Regarding Sexual Events at Which Either Etnyre or Minhas


11 Was Not Present is Irrelevant and Must be Excluded.

12 California Evidence Code section 350 provides that: "No evidence is admissible except

13 relevant evidence." It is well-settled in California that to be actionable as sexual harassment, the

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 §
PAUL, PLEVIN, 2
Moti6n in Limine To Exclude Evidence Of Sexual
SULLIVAN &
Events
CONNAUGHTON LLP
1 1200.)

2 B. Testimony or Evidence Regarding Sexual Events at Which Either Etnyre or Minhas

3 Was Not Present Would be Extremely Prejudicial and a Waste of Time.

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

7 confusing the issues, or of misleading the jury."

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

15 406, 410, cert. denied (1981) 454 U.S. 89.).1

16 Further, these unrelated events must be excluded to prevent undue prejudice to

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.

23 Rockwell International Corp. (1997) 15 Cal.4th 731, 740 and Romano v. Rockwell (1996) 14

24 Cal.4th 479,499; see also Kelly-Zurian·v. Wohl Shoe Co. (1994) 22 Cal.App.4th 397, 410-4il

25 [affirming grant of employer's motion in limine to exclude any evidence of any wrongful conduct

26

27
Indeed, the O'Patry/Madill incident was a trial between those two parties.

28

Motion In Limine To Exclude Evidence Of Sexual
SULLIVAN &
Events
CONNAUGHTON LLP
1 with anyone other than the plaintiff].)

2 C. Testimony or Evidence Regarding Sexual Events Which are Time-Barred is

3 Irrelevant and Unduly Prejudicial.

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.

8 The timely filing of an administrative complaint is a prerequisite to filing a civil action

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

22 unrelated to the present claims and DFEH charge. 2

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..."
25
Green v. Los Angeles Couno, Superintendent ofSchools, (9th Cir. 1989) 883 F.2d 1472 (citation omitted).
„IT]he question boils down to whether sufficient evidence supports a determination that the alleged
26
discriminatory acts are related closely enough to constitute a continuing violation." Green, 883 F.2d at
1480-81 (9th Cir. 1989); Romano v. Rockwen Internat„ Inc, 14 Cal.4th 479,492 (1996); Gov. Code §
27
12960(d). -

CONNAUGHTON LLP
I .

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,

6 and misleading the jury, in contravention of Evidence Code section 352.

7 Accordingly, Etnyre should be precluded from offering evidence of the alleged

8 Wadsworth event at trial. Otherwise, the statutory exhaustion and limitations requirements under

9 FEHA would be thwarted if this time-barred evidence was allowed.

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

16 Qualcomm employee, Kelley O'Patry, in November 2004; and 2) a Qualcomm employee's,

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,

21 but is not limited to such questioning of witnesses Janet Sana, Phil Wadsworth, Jane Baker, Lou

22 Lupin, Deborah Dean, Milan Patel, and Exhibits 95,145,147,237,238,242,287,288,289,290,

23 291, 292, 293, 669, and 671.

DEPOSITION of JANE BAKER

January 20, 2011

San Diego, California

(Volume 2, Pages 221-474, Inclusive)

Reported by:
Jane Bramblett, RPR, CSR No. 7574, CLR
r

.
1/20/2011 Baker, Jane Vol. 2

1 You can answer if y6u understand.

2 THE WITNESS: Yeah, I don't -- I don't believe

3 that that was Courtney's concern with his behavior.

4 BY MR.. KONDRICK:

5 Q _ You didn't know that Courtney believed that the

6 nature of Mr. Wadsworth's conduct was intended as

7 romantic or a sexual advance? Is that your testimony?

8 A Yes. I did not know that,

g Q Nobody ever t.old you that?

10 A It was it wasn't characterized as that. It

11 was more unprofessional, obnoxious, unwelcomed.

12 Q . You knew, though, that Mr. Wadsworth's conduct

13 caused Courtney to feel extremely uncomfortable about

14 Mr. Wadsworth's actions, correct?

15 A Yes.

16 (Exhibit 291 was marked for identification.)

17 BY MR. KONDRICK:

18 Q The court reporter has marked for

19 identification as next in order, Exhibit No. 291, a memo

20 from Phil Wad- -- a memo from Lou Lupin to.Phil

21 Wadsworth, carbon copy to Jane Baker, dated June 25,

22 2004, "Re: Inappropriate Conduct."

23 Do you recall receiving this or seeing this

24 e-mail --

25 A Yes..

6/22/2011 11:15 AM 350


.
1/20/2011 Baker, Jane Vol. 2

1 Q with this memo before today?

2 A Yes.

3 Q And as a matter of fact, your signature is on


4

4 the second page. You signed it on June 25, 2004, right,

5 ma'am?

6 A Correct.

7 actually,
Q The last paragraph the first

8 paragraph, the third sentence and fourth sentence reads,

9 quote -- this is to Mr. Wadsworth "You acknowledge

10 the incident did occur. You also acknowledged, and we

11 have concluded, that the conduct was inappropriate,

12 unprofessional and in violation of company policy.

13 While you have stated that your conduct was not intended

14 as a romantic or sexual advanee, the nature of the

15 conduct would certainly have left Courtney to believe

16 that."

17 So you understood, certainly, as of June 25,

18 2604, that it was the position of your company, y6ur

19 employer,.Qualcomm,'that -- that the nature of

20 Mr. Wadsworth's conduct was believed, at least by

21 Courtney, to have been intended as romantic or a sexual

22 advance, right, ma'am? By Mr. Wadsworth.

23 A It doesn't say that.

24 Q Well, Mr. Wadsworth denied or he stated that

25 his conduct was not intended to be romantic or sexual,

6/22/2011 11:15 AM 351


1/20/2011 Baker, Jane Vol. 2

1 right?

2 A Yes.

3 Q But then it says, "The nature of the conduct

4 would certainly have left Courtney to believe that,"

5 right?

6 MR. SULLIVAN: Objection. The document ipeaks

7 for itself.

8 THE WITNESS: That's what the document says.

9 BY MR. KONDRICK:

10 Q And you were aware of and signed off on this

11 document indicating you understood the document, right?

12 A Correct.

13 Q What was it that Courtney was left to believe?

14 MS. CHASIN: Objection. Calls for speculation.

15 THE WITNESS: I don't know what Courtney

16 believed about it.

17 BY MR. KONDRICK:

18 Q Your memo here, the memo of which you signed

19 off on, says, "The nature of the conduct would certainly

20 have left Courtney to believe that," And "that" refers

21 to romantic or sexual advance, right, ma'am?

22 MR. SULLIVAN: Objection. The document speaks

23 for itself.

24 MS. CHASIN: Join.

25 111

6/22/2011 11:15 AM 352


1/20/2011 Baker, Jane Vol. 2

1 BY MR. KONDRICK:

2 Q Doesn't it?

3 A So it says, "The .nature of the conduct would

4 certainly have left Courtney to.believe that." And I

5 think what we're trying to convey to him is that type of

6 behavior could be construed as romantic or sexual. It

7 doesnt say Courtney felt.that way. I don't know if she

8 did. We're letting him know that type. of behavior could

9 be.

10 Q It could have left Courtney to believe that

11 his, Mr. Wadsworth's, conduct was intended to be

12 romantic or sexual, correct?

13 MR. SULLIVAN: Objection. Vague and ambiguous.

14 Are you saying that's what the document says? In which

15 case my 6bjection is the document speaks for itself.

16 MR. KONDRICK: I'm following up on her

17 testimony, Counsel.

18 THE WITNESS: Okay. I need you to repeat the

19 question, please.

20 (Last question read.)

21 THE .WITNESS : It could have.

22 BY MR. KONDRICK:

23 Q "Could haven what?

24 A As

25 THE WITNESS: Can you read the question back,

6/22/2011 11:15 AM 353


.
1/20/2011 Baker, Jane Vol. 2

1 please.

2 BY MR. KONDRICK:

3 Q No. She has read it back. You've now said "It


,

4 could have."

5 A As the question was stated.

6 MR. SULLIVAN: That was that was your

7 question and answer. She answered your question.

8 THE WITNESS: So, to make sure I'm correct on

9 that, could you reread the question?

10 BY MR. KONDRICK:

11 Q Well, your the letter says or the memo

12 says, nthe nature of the conduct would certainly have

13 left Courtney to believe that." The word, quote, that,

14 close quote, refers to conduct that is either romantic

15 or a sexual advance, right, ma'am?

16 MR. SULLIVAN: Objection. The document speaks

17 for itself.

18 MS. CHASIN: Asked and answered.

19 Argumentative.

20 THE WITNESS: I think "would" or «could" could

21 be interchanged. I don't I don't know that that's

22 I don't believe that's how Courtney felt.

23 MR. KONDRICK: That's n6t what I'm asking.

24 Move to strike, nonresponsive.

25 I'm going to have the court reporter read back

6/22/2011 11:15 AM 354


1/20/2011 Baker, Jane Vol. 2

1 the question. I would respectfully ask the witness to

2 respond to the question.

3 (Last question read.)

4 MR. SULLIVAN: He is just asking you what the

5 document says.

6 THE WITNESS: That's what the document says.

7 BY MR. KONDRICK:

8 Q And as a result of this investigation, it was

9 determined that Mr. Wadsworth, in addition to being put

10 on administrative leave, would go through sexual

11 harassment training with Richard Paul, a partner in the

12 law firm of Paul, Plevih & Sullivan, right, ma'am?

13 A Correct.

14 Q And the rason it was sexual harassment was

15 why?

16 MS. CHASIN: Objection. Calls for speculation.

17 BY MR. KONDRICK:

18 Q It's inarticulate. Why was the training to be

19 sexual harassment training?

20 A So that Phil would understand the behaviors

21 that could could indicate could be sexual

22 harassment or could be perceived as though he fully

23 understood his behaviors and potential ramifications so

24 there' s no question in the future about his behavior_.

THE PARTICULARS ARE:

1. On February 24,2006, I was sexdally harassed (physicafand verbal) by my supervisor in my position of


Paralegal IV, earning approximately $68,000.00 per year. I was hired In March 2003.

Il. in April 2006. I cdmplained to management about the sexual harassment. I do not believe the employer took
my complaint seriously and tothis date, has not fully investigated my allegations:as required by California,
law.

Ill. 1 believe l was discriminated when sexually harassed because of my sex (female). I base my belief as
follows:

A. On February 24, 2006, 1 was sexually harassed (physical and verbal) by my immediate supervisor, Sandip
'Mickey" Minhas, Vice PresidenUDivision Patent Counsel. In April 2006, I made several unsuccessful
attempts to transfer to another unit away from him. I was informed that Mr. Minhas would not approve the
transfer.

B. After much frustration, i complained to. Bil) Sailer, Senior Vice PresidenVLegal Counsel about the sexual
harassment anci that I was beirlg denied a request to transfer.· In July 2006, I accepted a transfer to a less
desirable position. In Nover®er 2006, I became seriously ill due to the emotional and physical affects of the
February 2006 incident and ihformed the employer.

Motion In Limine To Exclude Extraneous Evidence

CONNAUGHTON LLP
1 I.

2 INTRODUCTION

3 Based on the discovery pursued in this matter, defendant Qualcomm Incorporated

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

9 employee in Qualcomm's legal department, allegedly called a prospective employer of Sarah

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

16 Corporation, Case Number 05-cy-01958-B-BLM.

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

23 issues and mislead the jury.

24 II.

25 EVIDENCE REGARDING EVENTS THAT DID NOT INVOLVE

26 ETNYRE OR MINHAS IS IRRELEVANT

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
Motion In Limine To Exclude Extraneous Evidence
SULLIVAN &

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,

3 evidence is only relevant if it'logically, naturally, and by reasonable inference" establishes a

4 material fact. (People v. Harris (2005) 37 Cal.4th 310,337.)

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

17 Cal.App.4th 397, 410-411 [affirming employer's motion in limine to exclude evidence of

18 harassment against anyone other than the plaintiffl.)

19 In short, Etnyre's proposed evidence of alleged acts by other Qualcomm employees is

20 irrelevant to the determination of whether she was subjected to unlawful treatment and is thus

21 inadmissible.

22 III.

23 IF RELEVANT AT ALL, EVIDENCE OF ALLEGED EVENTS UNRELATED TO

24 ETNYRE OR MINHAS IS INADMISSIBLE UNDER EVIDENCE CODE SECTION 352

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
PAUL, PLEVIN, 2
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.)

14 A. The Admission of Extraneous Events Would Necessitate Undue Consumption of

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

24 5imilar character of the claims at issue.

25 If evidence of extraneous evidence is admitted, Qualcomm would be placed in the same

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
PAUL, PLEVfN, 3
Motion In Limine To Exclude Extraneous' Evidence
SULLIVAN &
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

4 Substantial Danger of Undue Prejudice.

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

13 confusing as to mislead the jury.

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

26 Incorporated v. Broadcom Corporation, Case Number 05-cv-01958-8-BLM. This specifically

27 includes, but is not limited to Exhibits 237,238,288,670,671 and questioning on these subjects

SULLIVAN & Motion In Limine To Exclude The Bloody Clothing
CONNAUGHTON LLP
1 I.

2 INTRODUCTION

3 Defendant Qualcomm Incorporated C'Qualcomm") hereby moves to exclude Etnyre's

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.

13 THE BLOOD-STAINED PANTS ARE IRRELEVANT

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,

18 evidence is only relevant if it "logically, naturally, and by reasonable inference" establishes a

19 material fact. (People v. Harris (2005) 37 Cal.4th 310, 337.)

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

22 Depo. at 942:23-943:8; Exh. B, Plaintiff, Courtney S. Etnyre's, Responses to Defendant

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

27 menstruating has no bearing on her claims.

28 HI

PAUL, PLEVIN,
SULLIVAN &
Motion In Limine To Exclude The Bloody Clothing 1
CONNAUGHTON LLP
..

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.

8 THE BLOOD-STAINED PANTS ARE INADMISSIBLE UNDER EVIDENCE CODE

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.

9 back of my closet.

10 Q. Okay. Well, why was it that -- that your

11 menstruation stained these items of clothing?

12 A. I'm not sure I understand.

13 Q. Well, you obviously -- I -- I believe -- I

14 suspect that you believe that there's some connection

15 between these menstruation stains on your clothing and

16 Mr. Minhas. And I don't really understand what that

17 connection is. Is there some connection between

18 Mr. Minhas and these stained clothing items?

19 A. I don't -- I couldn't really say. It was iust,

20 I woke up in these clothes, and in my room, and somebody

21 was pounding at the door.

22 Q. Okay. So you woke up in these clothes on -- in

23 New York on Saturday morning?

24 A. Yes.

25 Q. You didn't have these items on in New Jersey on

SULLIVAN & Motion In Limine To E*clude Plaintiffs Expert

CONNAUGHTON LLP
1 I.

2 INTRODUCTION

3 Defendant Qualcomm Incorporated C'Qualcomm") moves to exclude any testimony or

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

10 testify or produce documents.

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.

17 THIS COURT MUST EXCLUDE THE OPINION OF AN EXPERT WITNESS WHEN

18 PROPER PROCEDURE IS NOT FOLLOWED

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:

22 (at) List that witness as an expert under section 2034.260.

23 (b) Submit an expert witness declaration.

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

28 56,70 [excluding expert Witness opinion at trial where experts had not given depositions];

2 exclude expert's opinions that were not testified to in the expert's deposition].)

3 III.

4 ETNYRE HAS UNREASONABLY FAILED TO MEET THREE OF THE FOUR

5 REQUIREMENTS UNDER CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE SECTION

6 2034.300 FOR DR. HUNSAKER

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

9 Decl.'5 112.) To date, Etnyre has not produced any declarations from Dr. Hunsaker, any reports or

10 writings of Dr. Hunsaker, or, for that matter, any documents whatsoever related to Dr. Hunsaker's

11 opinions in this case. Ud. 111 13,15.)1

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

22 onMay 10, 2011). (Klick Decl. 1 6.)

23 In attempting to obtain compliance with the records subpoena, on May 20,2011, an

24
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.)
'27

28

PAUL, PLEVIN, 2
SULLIVAN & Motion In Limine To Exclude Plaintifs Expert,
CONNAUGHTON LLP
Johanna Hunsaker Ph.D.
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

5 "unreasonable." (See Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 2034.300.)

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

4 expert's expected testimony so that the parties may properly prepare for trial."].) As a

5 consequence, any and all opinions and testimony of Dr. Hunsaker should be excluded.2
6 IV.

7 CONCLUSION

8 Qualcomm respectfully requests that any testimony ofDr. Johanna Hunsaker be excluded.

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.)

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

6 Exhibit B. Etnyre's counsel did not respond to this letter.

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

24 letter is attached hereto as Exhibit E.

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

28 available and would be prepared to produce her file.

1 9. On May 23,2011, I received a facsimile from AccuTech Legal Support Services

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

14 notice is attached hereto as Exhibit F.

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
PAUL, PLEVIN,
SULLIVAN &
Decl. of Melissa Listug Kiick ISO ofMIL re 4
CONNAUGHTON D Hunsaker
.

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

14 files for copying by Qualcomm's deposition officer as required by subpoena, and has not appeared

15 for deposition or indicated that she is prepared to be deposed.

16 I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the

17 foregoing is true and correct.

Re: Etnyre v. Qualcomm Incorporated

Dear Mf. Kondrick:

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.

Sincerely,

Paul, Plevin, Sullivan

Dear Ms. Klick

'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
certainly wodting papers because some oflhose papers likely werepreviously provided to ,

In your letter dated MayA 2011, you statethat Judge Trapp ordered Courtney Elnyre to
produce her *'Facebook download» to your oftice on May 6,2011. We do not agree with your
'recollection or reading of Judge Trapp's order: Our understanding is that the order provided for
Courtney Etoyre totomover, or produce, a"hard copf of her Facebook within parmmeters
consistent with the Sinph, morage dedsion '*by May 13,2001." Ifyou hold an order litat sets
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.
To our understandinglbat date s available to Dr. Hunsaker notwithstanding her present
sabbatical For your infbrmation, we understmwithatshe will be unavailable for·herdeposition
dring the following dates: May16-19 and May 28 through June 11. You may recall, Dr.
Hunsaker has been designated as an expert in the area oflmman resources and employee
reldons.related matters. We understand thai her testimony will rely on the deposition
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 ,
you to accommodate Ms. Stewart to date, please fulS understand and appreciate that her
testimony is needed for Dr. Hunsaker to complete her opinions.

There are, ofcourse, additional issues in-addition to scheduling the continued deposition
ofMary Stewart. Thereremains the incomplete depositions of Bill Sailer, Tom Rouse, and
other persnng. We look for*ard to wo*ing with your office to schedule those depositions,
especially invieW ofthe current deadlines set by thb Court

Thank you for giving these matths your immediate attention. As always, I remain:

representing Defendant, Qualcomm Incorporated, and

2 H. Paul Kendrick from the Law Offices of H. Paul

3 Kondrick, representing Plaintiff, Courtney S. Etnyre.

4 At the hour of 9:10 a.m., it being evident that no

5
appearance would be made by JOHANNA HUNSAKER, PH.D., the

6 following proceedings were reported:

MS. LISTUG KLICK:


7
I'm attaching, as Exhibit A, ·a

8
notice of deposition on Johanna Hunsaker, Ph.D. for

9 June 1st, at 9:00 a.m. It's 9:10 a.m. on June 1st. It

10
was personally served on May 20th, 2011. And we're

11
simply noting nonappearance of the withess.

MR. KONDRICK:
12
There is no nonappearance, for the

13 record. I think this whole proceeding, Counsel, is a

14
sham proceeding. It' s unfortunate that your office"

15 would relegate itself to such a lowly tactic.

16
Well after 5:00 0'clock last night, I,received

17 notice that this deposition was going to ptoceed. You

18
full well know, there was correspondence between our,

19 offices, written, and telephonic, and e-mail. It goes

20 far beyond this. But April 22, 2011, there were

21 discussions about Dr. Hunsaker's deposition that our

22
office would accept service of the subpoena. Your

23 office full well knew that she' s on sabbatical. You

24
full well knew that she is in Europe at the present

25 time. You full well knew also that we Were not

HUTCHINGS COURT REPORTERS, LLC - 800.697.3210


AFFIDAVIT OF NONAPPEARANCE
1 concluded with the deposition of Mary Stewart.

2 Mary Stewart's deposition was essential to the formation

3 of at least a substantial significant part of

4 Dr. Hunsaker's reports. We have yet to even schedule

5 Mary Stewart' s continued deposition when we. proceed in

6 hour-and-a-half segments to complete that deposition.

7 Your office presented me with a stipulation. I

8 fully well understood that there was a stipulation for

9 the expert witnesses to appear after the discovery

10 cutoff date of June 3rd. Your witnesses, Ms. Fuchs

11 Dolan, Dr. Kalish did not appear for their deposition.

12 Our office did not prepare certificates of nonappearance

13 for their depositions because there's a longstanding, I

14 think, good-faith rule between counsel ahd this

15 jurisdiction that.counsel, and particularly in relation

16 to expert witnesses, cooperate, even if the witness

17 depositions proceed after the discovery cutoff date.

18 I'm really taken aback by the conduct of you in

19 particular, Ms. Klick, the conduct of this office that, I

20 would feel that would conduct itself at a higher level

21 than apparently forcing our office to come down here at

22 9:10 to go through a charade of saying that there's a

23 nonappearance by the witness. You full well knew that

24 she was not going to appear today. This is just a

25 setUp. You' re trying to make grounds and a motion - - in

HUTCHINGS COURT REPORTERS, LLC - 800.697.3210


AFFIDAVIT OF NONAPPEARANCE
.

1 fact, construct a motion that would give you some type

2 of cause to try to strike at least, in part, her

3 deposition.

4 We were presented with a written stipulation by

5 your associate, Ms. Fox, yesterday at a deposition

6 continuing all or a number of the witness depositi6ns

7 past the discovery cutoff date. Omitted from that

8 stipulation was that 6f Dr. Hunsaker. We got that a

9 little later in the day. I think that may have been

10 attached to your e-mail to me, or faxed last night .after

11 close of business. Your office and you in fact,

12 Counsel, have a habit of sending me communications on

13 Saturday afternoons in relation to a discovery matter.

14 You cah make your face. Just as recently as this past

15 Saturday, May 28th, you were sending me stipulations I

16 think at 1:00 p.m. on a Saturday afternoon, on a holiday

17 weekend, in relation to discovery.

18 There is no deposition, you know that, today.' I

19 don't know why we're going through this other than to

20 waste, my time, run up my -- my client's bill and cbst in

21 this matter. It's unfortunate you've rel'egated yourself

22 to this.

23 There was correspondence as recently as May 24 in

24 relation to this deposition. You've been scheduling

25 depositions of Ms. Fung to be videotaped, and you

AFFIDAVIT OF NONAPPEABANCE
.

1 withdraw it. I don't know what to say.

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.

13 MS. LISTUG KLICK:


We,provided you three days when
14
Ms. Stewart was available in early May so that
15
Dr. HunBaker could appear on May 25th. We were not

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.

21 MR. KONDRICK: Counsel --

22 MS. LISTUG KLICK: If you want to talk about

23
Ms. Stewart, I was unaware that there was an open
24
question as to Ms. Stewart at this time. And I don't
25
believe that Ms. Stewart has, at this time, another
5

HUTCHINGS COURT REPORTERS, LLC - 800.697.3210


AFFIDAVIT OF NONAPPEARANCE
.

1 scheduled deposition session.

2 MR. KONDRICK:
Counsel, we just deposed

3 Mary Stewart on May 23rd. It was resumed at that point

4 in time.
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?

MS. LISTUG KLICK:


10
I wasn't -- if you have an issue

11 with needing to take Mary. Stewart's deposition for more

12
time, you need to provide us a date when you might be

13 available for that.

14 MR. KONDRICK: No, Counsel. There is an issue as

15 to her availability. It's an issue of all counsel's

16 availability. That's the issue.

17 MS. LISTUG KLICK: No. We are available: We've

18 been available, next week and the following week. We've

19 provided lots of dates when we're available. We will

20 make ourselves available: I've not received dates from

21 you, and so I don't think that it's particularly

22 fruitful to talk about this on the record. I -- if you

23 have an issue with Mary Stewart, if you have -- you

24
know, we're happy -- discovery closes on Friday. So if

25
you want to talk ab6ut Mary Stewart and any issue

HUTCHINGS COURT REPORTERS, LLC - 800.697.3210


AFFIDAVIT OF NONAPPEARANCE
.

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.

7 MS. LISTUG KLICK: Or an e-mail.

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

12 trying to put together. I wa trying to get that @6ne

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

17 matters. I can't write letters when I'm in this

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
6f, in fact, the antics of today, to bring a motion to
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.

HUTCHINGS COURT REPORTERS, LLC - 800.697.3210


AFFIDAVIT OF NONAPPEARANCE
1 Mary Stewart, we notic'ed her deposition, I think it

2 was November 2010. And we still have -- she never

3
presented herself until what? March of this year, maybe

4 April. Thank you.

5 MS. LISTUG KLICK:


Again, I respectfully disagree,

6 but I think we should go off the record.

7 MR. KONDRICK:
And, Counsel, I think that if you --

8 I thought we were meeting and conferring in relation to

9 rescheduling the depositions of Kalish, Fuchs Dolan, add

10 even Gene Konrad.

11
You know, we understand that Dr. Hunsaker is going

12 to be coming back sometime on or about June 15th.

13 Unf6rtunately, since then, I've gotten a trial notice or

14 a notice of oral argument in a court of appeal on

15 June 15th, and then that leaves us the 16th or 17th.

16 And that's the scheduling issue, and that's why you meet

17 and confer. That's not why you go on the record and do

18 certificates of nonappearance. You knew that this

19
witness, Dr. Hunsaker, was not going to appear today.

20 So then I have to ask you, Counsel, why are we going

21 through this charade of a certificate of nonappearance

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

25 March gth, 2011, we have attempted to obtain

HUTCHINGS COURT REP6RTERS, LLC - 800.697.3210


AFFIDAVIT 6F NONAPPEARANCE
.

1
Dr. Hunsaker's testimony in this matter. Discovery

2 closea on Friday. Therefore, we are trying to preserve

3 our client's rights.

4
We have given y6u dates on Dr. Kalish and Ms. Fuchs

5
Dolan, and we have not heard back from you on those

6 dates or been given alternate dates. We'd be happy to

7 m6et and confer with you if you provide us with

8 alternate dates or let us know that the dates that we

9 provided are acceptable.

10 MR. KONDRICK:
Are you in agreemeht, Counsel, that

11 in relation to Fuchs Dolan, Dr. Kalish, and

12 Dr. Hunsaker, that those are depositions that are to be

13 scheduled after the discovery cutoff date? I thought

14 you had a stipulation, Counsel. You sent us a

15 stipulation to that effect yesterday. You sent us two

16 stipul ations.

17 MS. LISTUG KLICK: Yes.

18 MR. KONDRICK: One for Fuchs Dolan, and Kalish, and

19 a number of 6ther witnesses, and theh you sent us a

20 later stipulation with regard to Dr. Hunsaker and Kalish

21
in relation to how their depositiens are treated for

22 purposes of, for instance, motions ih limine. And the

23
stipulation was for their depositions to proceed after

24 the discovery cutoff date. Ar* yeu not proceeding with

25 that.stipulation now?

HUTCHINGS COURT REPORTERS, LLC - 800.697.3210


AFFIDAVIT OF NONAPPEARANCE
.

1 MS. LISTUG KLICK: If you want to sign the

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

5 stipulation, I would be happy to discuss it off the

6 record.

7 MR. KONbRICK: Well, Counsel, you sent me that

8 stipulation. I thought that was the agreement.

9 MS. LISTUG KLICK: If --

10 MR. KONDRICK: I sent -- I thought I sent your

11 office -- I talked to Mr. Sullivan from your office, and

12
in relation to earlier stipulations extending the

13
discovery past the discovery cutoff date, some· hames

14 were omitted. So I sent back to y6ur office an

15 indic,ation that certain depositions would be continued

16 to a mutually available or agreeable date.

MS. LISTUG KLICK:


17
Right. And we made that change,

18 and we have signed that stipulation. But I did s6nd you

19
the other stipulation again yesterday; based on your

20 changes, regarding Dr. Hunsaker and Dr. Kalish and the

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

HUTCHINGS COURT REP6RTERS, LLC - 800.697.3216


AFFIDAVIT OF NONAPPEARANCE
.

1 MR. KONDRICK: That's correct. Counsel, I just got

2 the stipulations yesterday. I was in depositions all

3 day yesterday. You weren't there. You sent other

4
associates from your office to go there. I can't be in

5 tw6 places at one time.

6
I signed and returned one stipulation in reliance,

7
in reliance, Counsel, on there being a stipulation in

8 relation to Dr. Hunsaker based on a representation of

9 Emily Fox from your office. If you're not going to

10
proceed on that same basis with regard to Hunsaker, then

11 we have no stipulations. So -- you know, and we would

12 withdraw from the earlier stipulations. So you have to

13
make your mind up, Counsel, as to how you're playing.

14 Apparently, there's a gamesmanship being played on the

15 part of your office, and I'm just putting you on notice,

16 at this point in time, I thought we had a stipulation in

17 relation to experts, in particular, going past the

18
discovery cutoff date, and now we're here on June 1st t6

19
do a certificate of nonappearance, and that's --

20 that's -- you knew, that's improper.

21 MS. LISTUG KLICK: We have -- we will -- it's been

22 our position that we will only agree to take

23
Dr. Hunsaker's deposition after the discovery cut6ff if

24 we can get a stipulation regatding a motion in limine.

25 That is a condition for us agreeing to take that

11

HUTCHINGS COURT REPORTERS, LLC - 800.697,3210


AFFIDAVIT OF *6NAPPEARANCE
.

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

4 understanding that you would like to take other

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 --

8 MR. KONDRICK: Counsel --

9 MS. LISTUG KLICK:


If you have -- we.sent you the

10
other stipulatieh last week, so if -- initially, and
11 then we got a comment back from you. So we added a

12 paragraph on Dr. Kalish. If you have a change to the

13 stipulation, take a look at it, let me know. I'd be

14 happy to talk to you about it.

15 MR. KONDRICK: C6unsel, I entered into what at

16 least was a verbal agreement or understanding in

17
principle with a partner in your firm, Mr. Sullivan. As

18
a result, you, Counsel, sent my office some draft

19 $tipulations. Multiple draft stipulations I might add.

20 And some of those were sent Saturday the 28th, that I

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

25 after the close of business.

1
one. Number two, don't play this game. of scheduling

2
certificate of nonappearances when you know the witness

3 isn't going to appear. Dr. Hunsaker is in Europe. You

4 full well knew she was on a sabbatical. You full well

5 knew that Mary Stewart's deposition would need to be

6 taken and concluded. We took the most recent session on

7 April 23rd. I don't think her deposition transcript,

8
even oh an expedited basis, is done yet from last

9 Monday's deposition. There are a lot of issues here.

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

15 law much differently than I do. You sit behind a

16 computer, generating letter after letter, self-serving

17 letters. You sent out letters suggesting that there are

18 confirmations of agreements that don't exist that we

19 didn't agree on.

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

23 either it is or is hot in conformance with that. And

24 I'm getting a little tired of it. I don't have anymore

25
time for your gamesmanship out ef this office. I would

1
ask you to act in a more reas6nable and good-faith

2 manner and stop wasting my time, stop wasting the

3 expense of the parties in this case so far, to make

4
certificates of nonappearance for instance-for today.

5 MS. LISTUG KLICK: Please do not impugn my

6
reputation as none of that -- the insinuation in that is

7
completely inaccurate. But that's your prerogative.

8 MR. KONDRICK: I didn't make an impugnment of your

9 reputation, Counsel. I made a statement of fact. And,

10
Counselor, if you're not sending me stipulations or

11
letters c6nfirming agreements that we never entered

12 into, I'd like to hear you say you didn't do that.

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.

16 MR. KONDRICK: Okay.

17 MS. LISTUG KLICK: I would not do that.

18 MR. KONDRICK: Okay. I take exception wi.th that

19 and that's -- Counsel, you're sending me three or four

20 letters a day. One, pick up a phone, confer.

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.

8 I have nothing further.

Paul,
I incofporated your changes into the deposition stipulation that is attached. Please sign and send backto
my office for filing next week. As you know, we need to get this filed as soon as possible. Although you
wanted me to change the dates in the stipulation to a "mutually agreeable" date, below are proposed
dates for MS. Dolan and Dr. Kalish. Please confirm these dates as soon as possible. If these dates do
not work for you, then please provide alternate dates. Also, I think we need to discuss the Hunsaker
stipulation as I did not understand your note. As to Dr. Hunsaker, could you please provide us with a date
when she will be prepared and available to testify? Thank you.

Re: Etnyre v. Qualcomm incorporated

Dear Mr. Kondrick:

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.

As we have previously indicated, Ms. Stewart witi need to take frequent, short
breaks and each session will need to be set for three hours or less. Ifthis changes
as the dates approach, we will let you know. Ifyou are not available on the dates

Ms. Klick,

Insofar as Ms. Stewart, kindly apprise our omce of the continued


accommodations necessary in planning for Ms. Stewart's deposition. Your
proposed dates likely will not work because plaintijfwill most likely be
proceeding with other depositions at or about the dates you reference. In
addition, depending on the needed accommodations, we want to assure that
su#icient time is set aside, or planned for, & our preference is that there be no
more than 1-day between her deposition sessions. I think that will lend itself
better to a more e#icient deposition.

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.

9 As the Court may recall, defendant Qualcomm Incorporated ("Qualcomm'D brought a

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

13 browbeating questioning in taking Baker's deposition, and ruled that:

14 The deponents, Kelly Scanlon and Jane Baker, shall not be


required to return for a fourth day of deposition. Further
15 questioning of these depositions would cause them further
unwarranted annoyance, embarrassment, or oppression. Plaintiffs
16 counsel asked duplicative and compound questions and often
interrupted them when they attempted to answer. There were
17 also instances where plaintiffs counsel's attitude could be
interpreted as discourteous, abrupt, sarcastic and/or
18 intimidating.

19
(Emphasis added.)1
20
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

26
1 Attached as Exhibit A hereto is a true and correct copy of this Court's Minute Order dated April 29,
2011, regarding Qualcomm Incorporated's Motion for Protective Order to terminate the Baker deposition.
27

28

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

i 1 second and third days of her deposition.

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

14 advantage of counsel's improper conduct in deposition questioning - as recognized by this Court

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.

(2) MOTION TO COMPEL FURTHER DISCOVERY by defendant Qualcomm Incorporated is


GRANTED.

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

she has made a claim for emotional distress which compels disclosure.

(4) MOTION TO COMPEL QUALCOMM EMPLOYEES TO ATTEND THEIR CONTINUED


DEPOSITIONS by plaintiff Courtney Etnyre is DENIED.

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.

(5) MOTION TO QUASH OR MODIFY THE DEPOSITION AND DOCUMENT PRODUCTION


SUBPOENA by plaintiff Courtney Etnyre is GRANTED.

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)

DATE: 04/29/2011 MINUTE ORDER Page 2


DEPT: C-70 Calendar No. 47
CASE TITLE: Etnyre vs. Minhas CASE NO: 37-2009-00101537-CU-OE-CTL

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.

PAUL, PLEVIN,
Motion In Limine To Exclude Evidence Of
SULLIVAN &
CONNAUGHTON LLP
Childhood Abuse
1 I.

2 INTRODUCTION

3 Defendant Qualcomm Incorporated ("Qualcomm") hereby moves to exclude any evidence

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.

10 THIS COURT MAY, AND SHOULD, EXCLUDE IRRELEVANT EVIDENCE AND

11 EVIDENCE WHOSE PROBATIVE VALUE IS OUTWEIGHED BY ITS PREJUDICIAL

12 IMPACT OR TIME CONSUMPTION

13 It is axiomatic that "[nlo evidence is admissible except relevant evidence." (Evid. Code §

14 350.) 4'Relevant Evidence" is defined as evidence"having any tendency in reason to prove or

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,

19 of confusing the issues, or of misleading the jury." Ud. at § 352.)

20 III.

21 THIS COURT SHOULD EXCLUDE ANY EVIDENCE REGARDING ETNYRE'S

22 PURPORTED CHILDHOOD ABUSE

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

28 hit her with a belt (Exh. A, Pollard Depo. at 102:24-103:22);


PAUL, PLEVIN, 1
Motion In Limine To Exclude Evidence Of
SULLIVAN &
Childhood Abuse
CONNAUGHTON LLP
..

1 • Etnyre alleges that her two older brothers were physically and emotionally aBusive

2 towards her (Exh. B, Fidaleo Depo. at 29:10-16).

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.

17 This would present a distraction.

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

23 to her alleged abuse.

1 A. I don't recall. 14:10

2 Q. Okay. And here -- and she also talks about she

3 had hydrocephalus. Do you see that7

4 A. She had hydrocephalus after a car accident.

5 Q. Okay. And, as I read this, she's saying that 14:10

6 she wanted them to put in a shunt, they didn't, but

7 now -- so now she's easily off balance. Am I reading

8 that correctly?

9 A. I believe so.

10 Q. Okay. And then there' s a comment that she says 14:11

11 she sees, hears, smells things that aren't there. Do

12 you know what she's referencing there7

13 A. Yes. She was specifically describing certain

14 events. During this period of time, she was isolating a

15 great deal at home. And what she was describing were 14:11

16 what I would conceptualize as flashback experiences to

17 the occurrence of the assault.

18 Q. Okay.

19 A. And that there would be certain things on

20 television, for example, or lighting in the room at 14:11

21 certain times of day that would trigger that.

22 Q. Okay. And then -- oh, I think this is also

23 1-18. The next page are your 1-18 notes?

24 A. Mm-hmm.

25 Q. Okav. And she says -- she talks, and this is 14:12

1 where I think this may be the first time she raises the 14:12

2 Uncle Frank --

3 A. Right.

4 Q. -_- who fondled h_er aenitals; is that correct?

5 A. Right. 14:12

6 Q. And her -- her perception that her mother knew

7 that's what was going on?

8 A. She told her parents. They did know.

9 Q. She told them. When did she tell them?

10 A. At that time. 14:12

11 Q. When she was in third grade?

12 A. Yes.

13 Q. Okay. How -- I would assume this would be a

14 fairly significant emotional event in someone's life?

15 A. Yes. 14:12

16 Q. And did she respond that way? Did she have a

17 strong reaction to it when she talked to you about it7

18 A. She was clearly distressed describing it.

19 Q. Okay.
20 A. The context in which she was describing it was 14:13

21 really that that was the first incident she could

22 remember. And she related this to the incident of the

23 assault where she would just freeze rather than fight

24 back. She was describing this as the historical

25 precedent for -- along with others, for if you fight 14:13

1 back, you pay a very heavy price. If you just freeze 14:13

2 and endure, you survive.

3 Q. And then your notes of 2-14-08.

4 A. Yes.

5 Q. And this is -- I'm just looking at the last 14:14

6 paragraph where it says she and --

7 A. Dr. Fidelio.

8 Q. -- Dr. Fidelio have been role-playing

9 cross-examination for her lawsuit?

10 A. Yes. 14:14

11 Q. What did she tell you about that?

12 A. That, in her work with Dr. Fidelio, he was

13 trying to help her be much more assertive, visually

14 articulate, c6mposed to prepare her for what was

15 believed to be coming in legal issues. And that 14:14

16 basically, when the going got rough, she would fall

17 apart. And he said, you know, you can't -- you can't go

18 into court and function like this. You've gotta work on

19 this. You've got t6 be able to speak up f6r yourself.

20 Q. And then, on your n6tes from 2-28-08, this 14:15

21 indicates that this is -- Uncle Frank, in second grade,

22 fondled her. Do you see that?

23 A. I do.

24 Q. And -- okay. Did you understand it to be the

25 same event as th6 third grade, second grade event or -- , 14:15

4 A. Uncle Randv?

11 A. When she -- when she was ten years old, she and

Fidaleo, Raymond on 05/24/2011

1 history of post-trauma in growing up and so the idea of

2 facing a traumatic situation was very difficult for her.

3 The normal feeling that people have when they

4 have -- when they've been raped, y6u get an*ious, but

5 you also at times have guilt. She had the guilt and she

6 wasn't able really to touch on the anger. Anger for her

7 because of her earlier traumas was not something that

8 she could deal with. So we had a difficult time in

9 working through post-trauma with her.

10 Q. What is vour understandina of what her PTSD was

11 growing up?

12 A. She had brothers that were physically attacking

13 her. Two brothers contemporary. two and four years

14 older than her. were Dhysicallv and mentally abusive to

15 her throughout her childhood_so she_had no protection

16 from them.

17 Q. Any other traumas growing up?

18 A. She also had -- we didn't go into it but she

19 had a sexual molest from an uncle later.

20 MR. KONDRICK: I'm sorry, would the court reporter

21 read back that last response.

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

10 that any expert opinions of Dr. Wong or Ms. Pollard be excluded.

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

26 another doctor's diagnosis. Ud. at 16:15-17:12.)

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

1i designation for the first time. Ud. at 9:17-10:4.)

12 III.

13 NEITHER DR. WONG NOR MS. POLLARD IS QUALIFIED TO PROVIDE AN

14 EXPERT OPINION IN THIS CASE

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

24 distinguish genuine trauma from faking, malingering, exaggerating, or misattributing." Harold J.

25 Bursztajn,MD, The Role of a Forensic Psychiatrist in Legal Proceedings, Journal of the

26 Massachusetts Academy of Trial Attorneys (1993).1 When a forensic psyehiatrist is "acting in the
27 iExh. C

. .

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

3 retaining institution, attorney, or court." Id.

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

11 is simple: it is not required information to treat current symptoms.

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:

23 A: I cannot be an expert witness.

24 Q: Why not?

25 A: Because it was -- it's a conflict of ethic - it's a conflict of interest. As a treating

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

28 the patient such as I have had.

..
1 Q: Because at the end of the day, you consider that one of your roles is to serve, although

2 with some objectivity, as an advocate for the patient?

3 A: Correct.

4 (Exh. A, Wong Depo. at 59:14-60:1.)

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-

1 other than Dr. Nelson, Dr. Mattson, Ms. Pollard, the

2 paperwork that's in your chart, and Mr. Kondrick?

3 A Not that I can recall.

4 Q How would you describe what your role has

5 been over these past five years in treating Ms. Etnyre?

6 Let me try to clarify that question in case

7 it seems overbroad. She's also seen Dr. Mattson and

8 Ms. Pollard as well during that time, and they had

9 certain roles that they had in Ms. Etnyre's treatment,

10 correct?

11 A Uh-huh, correct.

17 A Uh-huh, correct. ,

18 Q Okav. Can you describe to me what your role

19 has been during that time and explain -- to the extent

20 it's varied over those five Years. feel free to explain

23 primarilv treating and managing her chronic maior

24 depression as well as her post-traumatic stress

25 disorder.

Wong, M.D., Deeann on 05/04/2011

1 Let me qualify that by saying her major

2 depression did go into remission at one point, which is

3 not unusual for the illness to remit. And it has

4 recurred, which is a typical course of chronic major

5 depression.

6 Q What caused vou to conclude on

7 September 12th. 2006. that Ms. Etnvre had exverienced

8 post-traumatic stress disorder or was exveriencing

9 Dost-traumatic stress disorder?

10 A It was based on conversations I had with

11 Dr. Nelson from Auaust 2006 through September 2006 as

12 well as what Ms. Etnyre had revealed during the

13 September_ appointment.

14 Q What, specifically, did vou learn from

15 Dr. Nelson that caused you to have this PTSD diagnosis?

16 A He told me that she had told him additional

17 details about the incident with her boss. Said he

18 invited her to watch a movie.

19 The next_thing she remembers is that he

20 pushed her down, and she was pushing him away. Then

21 she realized, auote, Her face was wet, end quote. She

22 had a bloody nose. She's not sleeping well. She's

23 only vettina four hours of sleep.

24 Q Was there anything else that Dr. Nelson told

25 vou that contributed to vour PTSD diaanosis?

COURTNEY S. ETNYRE vs. SANDIP ("MICKEY") MINHAS


Wong, M.D., Deeann on 05/04/2011

1 A Not that I recall.

2 Q Do you recall what Ms. Etnyre told you that

3 contributed to your PTSD diagnosis?

4 A What I recall is that she asked me not touse

5 the word "raDe"_because she was very uncomfortable with

6 that word. On subsequent appointments, we had -- and,

7 actually. on the September 2006 aDDointment. we_had

8 talked about symptoms of PTSD. SDecificallv. triaaers.

9 heiahtened level of anxiety, as well as flashbacks.

10 Q What caused you to talk about PTSD svmptoms?

11 A Itwas based on a conversation that I had

12 with Dr. Nelson with the additional information that he

13 had.

14 Q What caused you to use the word "rage" in

15 speaking to Ms. Etnvre in SeDtember of 2006?

16 A I cahnot recall exactly.

17 Q Okay. Was that based on what Dr. Nelson had

18 told you?

19 A It was both based on what Dr. Nelson had told

20 me and what Ms. Etnvre had told me.

21 Q Do you remember what. if anvthina. Ms. Etnvre

22 told you in which you based your use of the word

23 "rape"?

24 A I cannot remember exactly what words she

25 used, but it was the emotional content that was behind

800-697-3210
COURTNEY S. ETNYRE vs. SANDIP ("MICKEY") MINHAS
Wong, M.D., Deeann on 05/04/2011

1 the words that she used.

2 Q So it wasn't what she said but how she said

3 it?

4 A Correct.

5 Q What was it about how she said it that caused

6 you to use the word "rape"?

7 A There was a sense of hiah anxiety. shame.

8 embarrassment. guilt, reluctance to talk more in detail

9 about what happened.

10 Q Okav. Anything else?

11 A Not that comes to mind.

12 Q Did you consider your observations about that

13 to be consistent onlv with the possibility_ of there

14 having been a rane?

15 A Can you repeat the question?

16 Q Sure. Did vou consider that --

17 MR. SULLIVAN: Well, actuallv, can you read

18 back her list of things? I didn't write it down.

19 There was shame_and reluctance and some others.

20 (The following answer was read back:

21 "A There was a sense of hiah anxiety.

22 shame, embarrassment, Guilt, reluctance to

23 talk more in detail about what_happened. ")

24 BY MR. SULLIVAN:

25 Q Whv did vou consider these observations of

COURTNEY S. ETNYRE vs. SANDIP ("MICKEY") MINHAS
Wong, M.D., Deeann on 05/04/2011

1 shame. high anxietv, embarrassment, guilt, and

2 reluctance to indicate to you that there had been a

3 rape?

4 A Because it is not uncommon when someone is

5 forced or coerced or pressured into a situation that

6 thev might not necessarily have done without coercion

7 or_without _force. that they Give in. and then they have

8 shame. guilt. and embarrassment about the event

9 afterwards.

10 Q Would_ it be fair to sav that vou used the

11 term "rane" with Ms. Etnyre prior to her directly

12 expressing to you that any sexual contact she had had

13 with her boss had been involuntarv7

14 A Can you regeat the auestion?

15 Q Sure. What I understood you to previously

16 testifv is that you used the term "rape" based on your

17 6bservations of her demeanor -- I'm not sure if that

18 was the term_you used, but_of _shame. reluctance. _high

19 anxiety, embarrassment, and guilt, correct7

20 A That was part of it.

21 Q Okay. When you first used the term "raDe"

22 with Ms. Etnvre, had she expressed to you prior to your

23 use of that term the fact that sexual contact with her

24 boss had been nonconsensual on her part?

25 A Yes.

Wong, M.D., Deeann on 06/04/2011

1 Q What did she sav to you in that regard?

2 A I cannot recall exactly what she said, but I

3 would have not used the word "rape" if there had not

4 been mention or indication that there was sexual

5 contact that was not consensual.

6 Q Had she previously described to you that the

7 sexual contact with her boss was a decision on her

8 Dart?

9 A No.

10 Q Had she described to vou Drior to vour using

11 the term "rape"_that her boss had come onto her and she

12 had had sex with him and it was a stupid decision or

13 something to that effect? Do you recall that without

14 referring to your notes?

15 A Thi s is four and a hal f years ago .

16 Q Okay. I understand.

17 My question is: Do you recall her saving

18 anything like that to vou prior to your uslng the term

19 "rape"?

20 A I'm going to refer to mv notes.

21 Q No. you're not. You're goina to answer my

22 question. And you can say you don't recall. and that's

23 fine. Then you can look at your notes.

24 But without_ referring to your notes, _do you

25 recall her saying words to that effect?

1 A What were the words that you were saving that

2 she said?

3 MR. SULLIVAN: Can you read the question

4 back - - _ I_' 11 ius t redo_ it.

5 BY MR. SULLIVAN:

6 Q Did she tell you that her boss had come on to

7 her and she had had sex with him and it had been _a

8 stupid discussion on her part or words to that effect?

9 A I do not recall. I would need to refer back

10 to mv notes.

11 Q Okay. Had she said such words to you, would

12 that be indicative as to whether or not there had been

13 consensual but Derhaps rearettable sex?

14 A If it had _come out that way._ ves .

15 Q That type of descrintion would not indicate

16 to you that there had been a rape. correct?

17 A Correct.

18 Q In fact, that description of the event would

19 be contrary to the conclusion of rape, _correct?

20 A Correct.

21 Q Have you in your education ever learh*d of

22 situations where an individual might consent to a

23 sexual relationship and later change it in their mind

24 to being nonconsensual based on their own psychological

25 disorders?

1 BY MR. SULLIVAN:

2 Q Okay. You did not discuss any other

3 relationships; is that correct7

4 A N6t that I recall.

5 Q Did you consider her prior work history and

6 prior experiences in the workplace to be relevant

7 information for you to evaluate in terms of assessing

8 the current situation that you were discussing with

9 her?

10 A You mean assessing her situation at Qualcomm

11 or assessing her medically for the depression and PTSD?

12 Q Both.

13 A I did not feel that either were particularly

14 relevant to the PTSD or the major depression, which is

15 the main focus of my treatment with her.

16 Q Okay. Your focus was on treating her mator

17 denression and PTSD. not determinina what events did or

18 did not happen at Oualcomm?

19 A Correct.

20 Q Okay. And you didn't believe that her prior

21 employment history was relevant to your determination

22 as to what she was presently experiencing with regard

23 to the major depressive disorder or the post-traumatic

24 stress syndrome, correct?

25 A Correct.

1 to determine what the correct diagnosis is.

2 Q Can it be helpful?

3 A Possibly, but it's secondary to really what

4 the patient is reporting and what I am observing as I'm

5 interacting with the patient.

6 Q Would it be fait to say that the prior work

7 history could be more or less relevant depending upon

8 what it was? In other words, if it contained certain

9 events, it might not be really relevant at all; if it

10 contained other events, it might be relevant?

11 A For the purposes of what I was treating

12 Ms. Etnyre for, it was probably less relevant.

13 Q Okay. But you didn't know what those events

14 were to ever make that determination of whether it was

15 or was not relevant, correct?

16 A No, because that's not essential to getting

17 an adequate history of present illness.

18 Q What other opinions did you have about

19 Ms. Etnyre, other than the fact that she was

20 experiencing major depressive disorder and

21 post-traumatic stress syndrome?

22 MR. BELSKY: It's vague as to time.

24 Q Here's what I'm askina -- and if_counsel

25 wants to kind of direct us in some wav. that's fine

1 too. But you've been designated as a treating expert.

2 if you will. You're a treating physician.

3 A I'm not the -- I'm the treating Dhvsician.

4 not the expert witness.

5 Q I think you've been designated not as the

6 formal expert but --

7 MR· SULLIVAN: Well, let me ask it of

8 Mr. Kondrick: Is Dr. Wong going to be asked to give

9 any type of expert opinion at trial?

10 MR. KONDRICK: She's been designated per

11 the -- I think as we're required to as the treating

12 physician or health care practitioner.

13 MR. SULLIVAN: SO --

14 THE WITNESS: I cannot be an expert witness.

15 BY MR. SULLIVAN:

16 Q Whv not?

17 A Because it was -- it's a conflict of ethic --

18 it's a conflict of interest. As a treatina Dhvsician,

19 mv bias is towards the patient with obiectivity.

20 An expert witness, that person needs to be

21 completely obiective to the case and not have a

22 relationshin with the patient such as I have had.

23 Q Because at the end of the day, __you_ consider

24 that one of your roles is to serve, although with some

25 obiectivity. as an advocate for the Datient?

5 with regard to the personality traits of her sometimes

6 being passive aggressive?

7 A No.

8 Q Are you in your role as a physician generally

9 familiar with the duties and obligations of an expert

10 witness to familiarize themselves with certain

11 information in order to give expert opinion testimony?

12 A No.

13 MR. BELSKY: Lacks foundation.

14 MR. SULLIVAN: I'm sorry?

15 MR. BELSKY: Lacks foundation.

16 You can respond.

17 THE WITNESS: NO.

18 BY MR. SULLIVAN:

19 Q Have you done any professional research

20 relating to Ms. Etnyre's case beyond what you would do

21 to provide her with clinical psychiatric care7

22 A "Research" meaning?

23 Q For example -- thanks for seeking

24 clarification on that.

25 For example, an expert witness might go and

1 do some outside research and some other things that a

2 clinician who is just providing care as a treating

3 physician might hot do.

4 So I'm iust asking: Beyond whatever you

5 might do to provide treatment-as a treating phvsician.

6 have you done any additional research with regard to

7 Ms. Etnyre's situation?

8 A No.

9 Q Have you done any objective testing of

10 MS. Etnyre?

11 A Such as?

12 Q Whether it's MMPI-2 or any of those pendil

13 and paper tests.

14 A Those are done by a licensed clinical

15 psychologist. I'm not trained or qualified to do those

16 kinds of exams.

17 Q Have you seen the results of any of those

18 tests if they've been done?

19 A With Ms. Etnyre7

20 Q Correct.

21 A If they have been done, if I've seen them,

22 they're in the chart.

23 Q Okay. Do you recall seeing the results of

24 any such tests with regard to Ms. Etnyre?

25 A To the best of my recollection, no. But I

1 sex with her boss or whether it was, to the contrary,

2 rape?

3 MR. BELSKY: Can you read the question back.

4 MR. SULLIVAN: Yeah. Let me kind of rephrase

5 that.

6 MR. BELSKY: Oh, sure.

7 MR. SULLIVAN: I think it was inartfully

8 worded as I'm prone to do. I apologize.

9 BY MR. SULLIVAN:

10 Q Did vou ever make a_ factual conclusion as to

11 whether Ms. Etnvre did make a decision to have sex with

12 her boss as opnosed to her boss raping her?

13 A Define "factual."

14 Q Where vou concluded what actuallv hanpened

15 between the two of them in February of 2006.

16 A When she disclosed more about what happened

17 that niaht with her boss._the conclusion I drew from

18 that is that there was some pressure and coercion.

19 Q Based on what she told vou?

20 A Correct.

21 Q Did vou ever reach a factual conclusion as to

22 how that actuallv happened, what events actually

23 occurred that night?

24 A It would_be in the chart.

1 chart, then she did --

2 A Right.

3 Q -- or she didn't?

4 Did you ever ask Ms. Etnyre for the factual

5 details of how the rape occurred?

6 A No.

7 Q Did she ever offer those details to you?

8 A Yes.

9 Q What did she tell you?

10 A I cannot recall exactly.

11 Q What's your best recollection?

12 MR. BELSKY: You mean without looking at the

13 chart?

14 MR. SULLIVAN: Yes.

15 BY MR. SULLIVAN:

16 Q I mean, you have the chart there. We're

17 short on time. I'm not going to deprive you of the

18 chart if you can quickly find that. That's fine. If

19 not, I'll just settle for what you recall without

20 looking at the chart.

21 A What happened that night has come out in bits

22 and pieces, so it is not in one particular part of the

23 chart.

24 Q Okay. What is your best recollection of what

25 it is over the course of time she has told you about

1 Q Do you recall Ms. Etnyre offering you any

2 details with regard to what occurred on that business

3 trip?

4 A Not that I recall.

5 Q Do you believe that other details with regard

6 to what happened on that business trip, other events,

7 might be relevant7

8 MR. BELSKY: Calls for speculation.

9 THE WITNESS: It's not relevant to my

10 treatment of major depression.

11 BY MR. SULLIVAN:

12 Q Okay. Because all that really matters is

13 what her subjective experience is and what her

14 knowledge base was with regard to treating the major

15 depression?

16 A As well as my objective assessment.

17 Q Would it make a difference -- would _your

18 treatment decisions _differ depending upon whether you

19 believed Ms. Etnyre was or was not actually subiect to

20 rape?

21 A No.

22 Q Your assessment and treatment would be the

23 same whether she merely believed she was subiect to

24 rape or whether she was actually subiect _to rage?

13 MS. WILSON: We should probably get that at a break

14 and attach it.

2 night, do you have anv expectation of whether or not she

3 would at that point sav, I'm going to bed or I'm going

4 to keep aoina and drinkina and aoing to the pub with

5 evervone? 11:30

6 A. I think it would be entirely possible that she

7 would continue with the socializing.

8 Q. Why is that?

9 A. Because she was raised in a family where there

10 was some Dhysical abuse. and it was verv common that it 11:31

11 was completely ignored by the parents on multiple

12 occasions._ And appearances were kept un and life went

13 on and functions continued. So that would have been the

14 precedent.

15 Q. Okay. 11:31

16 A. If I had to speculate.

17 Q. Yes. And vou are speculating on that?

18 A. I am.

19 Q. Okay. Did Ms. Etnyre describe to you any of

20 those subsequent events on the business trip? 11:31

21 A. No.

22 Q, When she said she was stressed for the rest of

23 the business trip, did she describe why she was

24 stressed?

25 A. What I remember is that, after the occurrence, 11:31

Pollard, LCSW, Arlene on 05/06/2011

1 that a fair statement? 12:05

2 A. No· Because I think the factual data that was

3 pertinent and contributing were times when she had no

4 income, no health insurance coverage, long lapses of

5 time when she was off for psychotr6pic medications, and 12:05

6 her symptoms were much worse because she couldn't afford

7 to fill the prescriptions because she had no health

8 insurance and couldn't afford to buy the medication. So

9 it was a number of things.

10 Q. And I guess what I'm driving at is. you didn't 12:05

11 make a factual determination of whether or not she was

12 assaulted: vou accepted her interDretation of _the events

13 that she was assaulted, correct7

14 A. Correct.

15 Q. Okay. So you're treatina_her_based on her 12:05

16 perception --

17 A. Yes.

18 Q. -- that she's assaulted?

19 A. Yes.

20 Q. And did you draw any conclusion as to whether 12: 05

21 in fact she believed she was assaulted?

22 A. She absolutely believed it.

23 Q. And have you had experience with patients who,

24 for whatever psychological reasons may exist, would

25 change their perception of events from the time they 12:06

5 the fact that she reported to you that she told the 14:17

7 assault weren't true but were made because she wanted

8 out of his group. Did she -- do you recall her saying

9 that?

10 A. I did not. When I reviewed my records prior to 14:18

12 Q. Do vou have a recollection in general of her

4 A. I do not. But if it had been somethina that

6 that.

8 A. Yes.

9 Q. -- about halfway down the page, it indicates

10 that her attorney, Mr. Kondrick, told her not to look 14:20

12 workers' comp claim?

13 A. Right.

14 Q. Do you have a recollection of her making that

16 A. No. But I'm sure she made it or I -- it

17 wouldn't be in my notes.

18 Q. Okay. Do you have a recollection -- I mean,

19 during this timeframe, in April of '08, was Ms. Etnyre

20 able to work to your knowledge? 14:20

21 A. It fluctuated from time-to-time. There were

22 and I think it was complex in that there were pr6bably

23 times when she, as per my notes, looking for jobs,

24 applying for jobs, going through temporary agencies

The Role of a Forensic Psychiatrist in Legal Proceedings

Harold J. Bursztajn, M.D.

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,

What is a forensic psychiatrist?

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.

What kinds of determinations do forensic psychiatrists make in civil proceedings?

Forensic psychiatrists are involved in a range of particularized competency determinations, including


the competence to make wills, dispose of property, or refuse medical treatment. In custody disputes
they may be called upon to assess how autonomous and authentic the expressed wishes of a child of a
certain age can be. They evaluate and testify in cases of alleged emotional harm and Post-Traumatic
Stress Disorder (PTSD). Here it is necessary to reach a deep understanding ofthe person's life history,
so as to identify prior experiences that may have created a special vulnerability to trauma (as opposed
to prior impaired functioning), as well as to distinguish genuine trauma from faking, malingering,
exaggerating, or misattributing. Forensic psychiatrists are involved in worksite issues such as workers'
compensation, supervisory negligence, disability discrimination, and sexual harassment. On the
environmental front, they are helping to define the limits of product liability and stress caused by fear
of illness. They also are trained in the use of the psychological autopsy to determine cause of death.

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.

Forensic Psychiatry & Medicin the Expert Page 2 of 5

What about criminal cases?

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.

Won't my clients balk at hiring a forensic psychiatrist?

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

6/15/2011
http://www. forensic-psych. com/articles/artAskexp01.php
Forensic Psychiatry & Medicinsk the Expert Page 3 of 5

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."

6/15/2011
http://www.forensic-psych.com/articles/artAskexp01.php
Forensic Psychiatry & Medicinsk the Expert Page 4 of 5

How does a forensic psychiatrist go about conducting an evaluation?

A properly conducted forensic evaluation is an extended, in-depth process. It entails multiple


interviews, detailed review and comparison of what the examinee has communicated on different
occasions, microanalysis of the data (with consideration ofsequence, tone, and nonverbal behavior),
and cross-checking with corroborative evidence (interviews with relevant others, police and medical
records, other expert witness reports, and psychological testing).

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.

What does a forensic psychiatric consultation cost?

Because a forensic psychiatric consultation/evaluation is a nonclinical procedure requiring additional


training and skill, it carries a higher fee than general psychiatry. A typical forensic psychiatric hour
costs between $250 and $500 an hour. Time billed generally includes review, examination,
preparation, travel, and testimony. This can be an expensive service. You must evaiuate whether, ina
particular case, the benefit is worth the additional cost. You can do this by having an initial review by
a forensic psychiatrist before deciding whether to proceed with a full-scale evaluation. Such a review
can help y6u prioritize the available forensic psychiatric services within your budgetary limits. At the
same time, as experienced attorneys well know, it is necessary to secure funding from the client
before authorizing services.

Will a forensic psychiatrist accept a contingency fee?

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.

http://www.forensic-psych.com/articles/artAskexp01.php 6/15/2011
Forensic Psychiatry & Medicinsk the Expert Page 5 of 5

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.
