C.A. No. 04~343—JJF
Dear Special Master Poppiti:
I am writing on behalf of defendants Tatung Co. and Tatung Company of America Inc.
(collectively, “Tatung"). On Monday, November i3, 2006, Tatung received Your l·ionor’s letter
order (the "Order") and, pursuant thereto, Tatung is procuring from Viewsonic Corporationfs
counsel an affidavit to submit to Your Honor on or before November 20, 2006,
Apart from that affidavit, we understood Your I·Ionor’s Order to not contemplate any
additional submissions from the parties. Therefore, Mr, Kirl<’s letter to Your l·-loner came as
quite a surprise, This is, frankly, yet another instance in which plaintiff has fiouted the discovery
dispute procedures entered by Your Honor on March 24, 2005 (the "Procedures”) and submitted
briefing without the courtesy of even advising opposing counsel of their intention to do so, ln
fact, explicitly recognizing that Your i~Ionor’s Procedures do not allow for reply letters,
_ plaintiffs counsel nevertheless proceeded to do just that in his November i4, 2006 letter,
While we disagree with the substance of Mr. Kirk’s November i4, 2006 letter, we will
not address the statements he made at this time, but rather reserve argument on these issues until
the anticipated hearing referenced in Your Honor’s Order. Should Your I-ionor believe
additional briefing would be helpful in advance of the hearing, however, Tatung would be happy
to provide any such additional briefing or otherwise address the statements made in Mr. Kirk’s
letter.
