Elan's General Objections to Abraxis's Counter-Designations Plaintiff Elan Pharma International Ltd ("Elan") objects to Abraxis's counterdesignations as far exceeding the "fairness" requirement of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 32(a)(4) (providing that "[i]f only part of a deposition is offered in evidence by the party, an adverse party may require the offeror to introduce any other part which ought in fairness to be considered with the part introduced" (emphasis added)), and Federal Rule of Evidence 106 (providing "[w]hen a writing or recorded statement or part thereof is introduced by a party, an adverse party may require the introduction at that time of any other part . . . or recorded statement which ought in fairness to be considered contemporaneously with it" (emphasis added)). Abraxis' counter-designations far exceed any rational interpretation of the Third
Circuit's "rule of completeness." See U.S. v. Noble, 251 Fed. Appx. 792, 798 (3d Cir. 2007) ("We have interpreted [Federal Rule of Evidence 106] to mean that the remainder of a writing is required to be read `if it is necessary to (1) explain the admitted portion, (2) place the admitted

portion in context, (3) avoid misleading the trier of fact, or (4) insure a fair and impartial understanding.'" (citing U.S. v. Soures, 736 F.2d 87, 91 (3d Cir. 1984))). Evidence of Abraxis' excessive counter-designations, far exceeding any fairness or completeness justification, is apparent based on the sheer volume of deposition testimony Abraxis counter-designated. For example, Abraxis offers 500 lines of counter-designated
testimony as "completeness" for these 4 lines of testimony designated by Elan:
Q - When you had finished lyophilizing the samples, where did you take them to? A - I told Dr. Berkland that the samples he requested are ready.
See Exhibit 8-GG, Abraxis' Objections and Counter-Designations of Deposition Testimony, Witness: Lianjun Shi (Abraxis' counter designations to Elan's designations of 103:21:23 and 103:25-104:1.)1 The same 500 lines of counter-designated testimony are offered against
numerous portions of Dr. Shi's deposition. Overall, Elan designated 428 lines from Dr. Lianjun Shi's deposition. Abraxis counter-designated 742 lines of Dr. Shi's deposition testimony almost double Elan's designations. Abraxis' over designation of deposition testimony is also evidenced by Abraxis' cherry-picking virtually every statement in the deposition that could, arguably, be remotely related to Elan's designated portions, even counter designating deposition testimony from as far
Abraxis made the following counter-designations to this testimony: 50:24-25; 51:2-6; 53:3-54:2; 54:5-55:11; 56:10-24; 57:25-58:2; 58:4-7; 58:9-17; 58:19-23: 58:25-59:1; 61:3-11; 61:13; 62:10-13; 62:15; 62:21-23; 62:25; 73:1-3; 73:5-7; 73-9; 77:21-78:9; 78:11-12; 78:14 79:10-12; 80:7-8; 80:15-81:13; 81:15-18; 81:23-82:1; 92:1-6; 92:8-14; 92:16-93:2; 93:21-25; 94:1-18; 94:20-95:19; 96:9-97:16; 97:18-98:16; 98:18-23; 98:25-99:8; 100:4-101:23; 102:1-5; 102:7-16; 102:18-103:2; 103:4-8; 109:22-110:2; 110:4-110:13; 110:15; 111:2-3; 111:5-112:2; 112:4-8; 114:9-11; 114:13-25; 115:3-8; 115:10-116:8; 116:10-13; 116:15; 122:6-10; 122:12-16; 124:19-22; 124:24; 125:20-126:2; 126:4-6; 126:8-13; 127:25-128:1; 128:3-13; 128:15-16; 129:9-11; 129:13-17; 129:19; 157:19-21; 157:23.

See Exhibit 8-AA, Abraxis' Objections and Counter-Designations of
Deposition Testimony, Witness: Patrick Soon-Shiong, Abraxis' counter designation of lines 18:22-23 and 8:25-19:22 against Elan's designations at 302:2-15 (The testimony on page 302 is not "redirect" testimony.) Elan objects to Abraxis' efforts to introduce deposition testimony that is neither explanatory nor relevant to Elan's designated portions. See Soures, 736 F.2d at 91 ("The Rule does not require introduction of portions of a statement that are neither explanatory of nor relevant to the passages that have been admitted."). Elan further objects to Abraxis' attempts to admit inadmissible testimony under the guise of the "rule of completeness." See Phoenix Associates III v. Stone, 60 F.3d 95, 103 (2d Cir. 1995 ("Rule 106 `does not compel admission of otherwise inadmissible hearsay evidence.'" (citing U.S. Football League v. Nat'l Football League, 842 F.2d 1335, 1375-76 (2d Cir. 1988))). Finally, Elan objects to Abraxis' counter designations as a transparent effort to prevent Elan from presenting its case without undue interruption or distractions as permitted by common law and Federal Rule of Evidence 611(b). See Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Jersey, Inc., 199 F.R.D. 487, 490 (E.D.N.Y. 2001).

RESPONSE TO ELAN'S GENERAL OBJECTIONS TO ABRAXIS'S COUNTER DESIGNATIONS Abraxis's Response: Elan correctly states that a counter designation is proper "`if it is necessary to (1) explain the admitted portion, (2) place the admitted portion in context, (3) avoid misleading the trier of fact, or (4) insure a fair and impartial understanding,'" but then proceeds to ignore that standard in objecting to Abraxis's counter designations. That is, Elan does not dispute that Abraxis's counter designations are necessary to (1) explain the admitted portion, (2) place the admitted portion in context, (3) avoid misleading the trier of fact, or (4) insure a fair and impartial understanding. Instead, Elan argues that Abraxis's counter designations should be rejected because of their "volume" and because they are "far away" from Elan's designations. But the "volume" and location of counter designations are not factors in determining the "fairness" of presenting counter designations at the same time as affirmative designations. Elan's "volume" objection misses the mark. Elan takes the example of Abraxis's Lianjun Shi designations and misconstrues them as 500 lines "offered against" four lines of testimony.1 Rather, Abraxis's counter designations were made on a topic-by-topic basis, and Elan admits these same designations are offered by Abraxis against "numerous portions of Dr. Shi's deposition" on the same topic.2 Thus, Abraxis's counter designations are a set of testimony that completes the set of testimony designated by
In this example, Elan asked Dr. Shi about one experimental step in a procedure he performed without referencing all of the steps of the procedure he performed. If any of this testimony is to be played to the jury, fairness requires Dr. Shi's complete testimony regarding the procedure. Note, too, that the necessary counter designations for the Shi deposition were by far and away the most voluminous of Abraxis's counter designations. The amount of testimony counter designated by Abraxis was increased by Elan's deposition practice of repeatedly asking the same questions throughout the deposition in the hopes of eventually obtaining an answer that better suited its purposes.

Elan, and should be shown to the jury as such at the same time as Elan's selected testimony to avoid misleading the jury and insure a fair and impartial understanding of the designated deposition testimony in context. Elan's objection that the location of Abraxis's counter designations during the depositions renders them unfair is similarly unfounded. The location of a counter designation does not determine whether it should be played at the same time for completeness. While Elan apparently disputes the degree of relevance of Abraxis's counter designations, it admits that Abraxis's designations are relevant. Any specific questions of fairness or completeness should be brought to the Court's attention and addressed case-by-case, not decided en masse based on the red herrings of volume or location without reference to the specific designations and counter designations. Moreover, Abraxis's counter designations are expressly permitted under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 32(a)(6), which states if only part of a deposition is offered "any party may itself introduce any other parts." While Elan objects to the timing of the presentation of Abraxis's counter designations, it cannot block their admission. The cases cited by Elan do not hold that the sheer volume or location of counter designations can render them unfair to present at the same time. In U.S. v. Noble, the Third Circuit held that the district court did not abuse its discretion by refusing to admit the remainder of "stream-of-consciousness" prison letters that did not explain or put into context the portions admitted. 251 Fed. Appx. 792, 799 (3d Cir. 2007). In U.S. v. Soures, the Third Circuit held that the district court had properly excluded some excerpts from a witness's second day of grand jury testimony only after careful review of the substance of the testimony and concluding it was not necessary. 736 F.2d 87, 91 (3d.

1984). Neither case holds that volume or location are factors under F.R.C.P. 32(a)(6) or F.R.E. 106. Here, of course, Elan has not disputed relevance. Nor could it. Elan's reliance on Phoenix Associates III v. Stone, 60 F.3d 95, 103 (2d Cir. 1995) is also not well considered. It would be unfair to introduce portions of testimony designated by Elan that are incomplete and misleading while excluding explanatory testimony based on other evidentiary objections. As the D.C. Circuit has stated: Rule 106 can adequately fulfill its function only by permitting the admission of some otherwise inadmissible evidence when the court finds in fairness that the proffered evidence should be considered contemporaneously. A contrary construction raises the specter of distorted and misleading trials, and creates difficulties for both litigants and the trial court. U.S. v. Sutton, 801 F.2d 1346, 1368 (D.C. Cir. 1986); see also U.S. v. Le Fevour, 798 F.2d 977, 981 (7th Cir. 1986) ("If otherwise inadmissible evidence is necessary to correct a misleading impression, then either it is admissible for this limited purpose by force of Rule 106...or, if it is inadmissible (maybe because of privilege), the misleading evidence must be excluded too.").

ELAN'S REPLY IN SUPPORT OF ITS GENERAL OBJECTIONS TO ABRAXIS'S COUNTER-DESIGNATIONS A. Elan generally objects that Abraxis's counter-designations violate Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 32(a)(4) and Federal Rule of Evidence 106. Abraxis mischaracterizes Elan's general objections as pertaining only to the volume and location of Abraxis's counter-designations. To the contrary, Elan objects that Abraxis's counter-designations violate Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 32(a)(4) and Federal Rule of Evidence 106. The volume and location of Abraxis's counter-
designations are merely emblematic of that violation. Rule 32(a)(4) provides that "[i]f only part of a deposition is offered in evidence by the party, an adverse party may require the offeror to introduce any other part which ought in fairness to be considered with the part introduced." Fed. R. Civ. P. 32(a)(4) (emphasis added). Similarly, Rule 106 provides that "[w]hen a writing or recorded statement or part thereof is introduced by a party, an adverse party may require the introduction at that time of any other part . . . or recorded statement which ought in fairness to be considered contemporaneously with it." Fed. R. Evid. 106 (emphasis added). Thus, both Rule 32(a)(4) and Rule 106 contemplate that an adverse party may interrupt or distract from its opponent's case only if fairness so demands. See Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Jersey, Inc., 199 F.R.D. 487, 490 (E.D.N.Y. 2001). Abraxis's counter-designations are not justified by any fairness considerations. Rather, Abraxis's counter-designations: · · · ·
{00220714;V1}
are irrelevant to Elan's designated portion of testimony; do not explain Elan's designated portion of testimony; do not place Elan's designated portion of testimony in context; do not correct misleading evidence; and

do not ensure a fair and impartial understanding of Elan's designated portion of testimony.
As such, they are not permitted under the rules. See U.S. v. Noble, 251 Fed. Appx. 792, 798 (3d Cir. 2007); U.S. v. Sources, 736 F.2d 87,91 (3d Cir. 1984). Moreover, contrary to Abraxis's assertion otherwise, Elan does not seek an en masse decision as to the fairness of Abraxis's counter-designations. Elan lodged specific objections to each Elan's general
improper designation pursuant to the Federal Rules of Evidence.
objections merely provide an explanation as to the reasons why Elan was compelled to lodge so many specific objections. B. Abraxis's counter-designations are almost uniformly irrelevant to Elan's designated portion of testimony. That Abraxis's counter-designations violate Rules 32(a)(4) and 106 can be easily demonstrated. For example, Elan designated the following testimony: Q: A: When you finished lyophilizing the samples, where did you take them? I told Dr. Berkland that the samples he requested are ready.
In response to this simple exchange, Abraxis counter-designated 500 lines of testimony, including the following representative testimony.1 Q: Okay, so your testimony earlier, when you spoke of disposing something in the waste glass box, you threw out the vials? Yeah . . . The glass vials? Yeah, I clean it. Clean it, yeah.

************************************************************************ Q: Did you do any testing to establish the purity of the second set of samples? A: Q: A: I didn't do that. That's--that was not my job. Are you aware whether Dr. Berkland did any purity testing on the second set of samples? No idea. I didn't know that.
************************************************************* **************
Most, if not all, of Abraxis's counter-designations--including those to Elan's designated portions of testimony from other deponents--are in a similar vein to those above, and are wholly irrelevant to the designation. As such, they have nothing to do with fairness, and should be stricken.

Abraxis should not be permitted to convert its improper counterdesignations to affirmative designations at this late date. Abraxis's defense of its counter-designations reveals a fundamental lack
of understanding of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and Evidence. In its response to Elan's general objections, Abraxis states the following: Moreover, Abraxis's counter-designations are expressly permitted under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 32(a)(6), which states if only part of a deposition is offered, any party may introduce other parts. While Elan objects to the timing of the presentation of Abraxis's counter-designations, it cannot block their admission. See Response at p. 2. As a threshold matter, there is no Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 32(a)(6). Moreover, to the extent that Abraxis seeks to counter-designate testimony in response to Elan's designations, such testimony is only admissible pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 32(a)(4) and Federal Rule of Evidence 106, which address the contemporaneous admission of testimony. If Abraxis wanted to affirmatively designate testimony to present during its case, then it was required to timely do so. Indeed, Elan provided Abraxis with its general objections in ample time for Abraxis to revise its affirmative deposition designations and counter-designations prior to the parties' submission of the Joint Pre-Trial Order. With only weeks to trial, Abraxis should not now be permitted to convert its improper counter-designations into additional affirmative deposition designations. Such a conversion would unfairly prejudice Elan, who would be forced to take time away from pressing trial preparation matters to prepare counterdesignations to Abraxis's "converted" counter-designations.

D.
Conclusion Abraxis's response is nothing more than a red herring designed to divert
the Court's attention from the substantive issues raised by Elan's objections. As such, it should be disregarded by the Court. Elan requests that the Court sustain Elan's general and specific objections and, as warranted, strike Abraxis's counter-designations that are improper under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 32(a)(4) and Federal Rule of Evidence 106.
