Re: Reliant Plmrrzzaceziricals, Inc. v. Pm·Pha:·12rczceztticaI, Inc.,
CA. No. 06-774-JJF
Dear Judge Farnan:
We write on behalf of Par Pharmaceutical, Inc. ("Par") in response to the February 1, I
2008 letter (D.1 163) submitted on behalf of Reliant Pharmaceuticals, lnc. ("Reliant") concerning
ReEiant’s renewed motion to disqualify Par’s lead counsel, Frommer Lawrence & Haug LLP
(“FLl-I") (D.1. 86). Re1iant’s February 1 letter rehashes arguments made in its unwarranted H
January 3, 2008 post—motion letter to the Court (D.1. 138) and underscores the tactical motivation
behind Re1iant’s unmerited disqualification motion—to delay the resolution of this case. Par
respectfully requests that the Court disregard Re1iant’s letter.
As with its January 3 letter, Reliar1t’s February 1 letter mischaracterizes Par’s current
discovery requests in a belated and legally—flawed attempt to supplement Re1iant’s motion to
disqualify FL1-1 for work it allegedly performed over four years ago. Par respectfully directs the
Court’s attention to Par’s papers in opposition to Reliant’s disqualiication motion (D.1. 99-111)
and Par’s January 7, 2008 letter (D.1. 140) in response to Re1iant’s January 3 letter, which amply
support denial of Reliant’s motion.
Reliant’s January 3 and February 1 letters add nothing to the record on the pending
motion and should not be considered. If the Court, however, believes these letters raise new
issues relevant to the determination of Re1iar1t’s disqualification motion, Par respectfully requests
that it be given an opportunity to address those issues.
Respectfully submitted,
Y A A
