MARSHALL DIVISION

ORDER

Samsung previously filed a Motion to Strike Expert Report of Mr. Stephen E. Dell. (Dkt. No. 186.) Magistrate Judge Payne entered a Memorandum Order (Dkt. No. 380), denying Samsung’s Motion to Strike. Samsung has now filed Objections. (Dkt. No. 402.)

After reviewing the briefing on the Motion to Strike, Judge Payne’s Memorandum Order, and the briefing on Samsung’s Objections, the Court agrees with the reasoning provided within the Memorandum Order and concludes that the Objections fail to show that the Memorandum Order was clearly erroneous or contrary to law. Consequently, the Court OVERRULES Samsung’s Objections (Dkt. No. 402) and ADOPTS the Memorandum Order (Dkt. No. 380).

So Ordered this Apr 20, 2025
