Contentions and Tatung`s joinder to said Motion
C.A. No. 04-343 JJF
Dear Counsel:
By letter correspondence dated November 17, 2006, ViewSonic moves pursuant to Fed.
R. Civ. P. 37(c)(l) for an Order barring LPL from asserting new claims raised in its November 8,
2006 response to Interrogatory No. l. By correspondence dated November 28, 2006, Defendants
Tatung Company and Tatung Company of America (collectively "Tatung") joined in the
referenced Motion.
By correspondence dated November 22. 2006, November 30, 2006 and December 4.
2006, LPL takes the position that the Special Master does not have the authority pursuant to the
Order Appointing Special Master (D.I. 178 ) to entertain the motion.
Concluding that the issue of authority to entertain the motion should be immediately
addressed, the Special Master intends to have an ex parte communication with the Court as
permitted by paragraph 6 ofthe Order Appointing Special Master.
