FENNEMORE CRAIG, P.C. Ray K. Harris (No. 007408) 3003 North Central Avenue Suite 2600 Phoenix, AZ 85012-2913 Telephone: (602) 916-5000 Email: [email protected] Attorneys for the Nelcela Defendants UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF ARIZONA Merchant Transaction Systems, Inc., Plaintiff, v. Nelcela, Inc., an Arizona corporation; Len Campagna, an Arizona resident; Alec Dollarhide, an Arizona resident; Ebocom, Inc., a Delaware corporation; POST Integrations, Inc., an Illinois Corp., Defendants. And Related Counterclaims, CrossClaims and Third-Party Claims. The issue presently before the Court is whether analytic dissection identifies sufficient copyrightable material to support the jury's verdict. Post Integrations, Inc. chose not to present expert testimony or evidence at trial related to the analytic dissection analysis. All parties had ample opportunity to present expert evidence at trial and in the post-trial briefing. The Court has not requested an evidentiary hearing. In any event, the presentation of evidence by only a single expert would be clearly inappropriate. See, e.g., Apple Computers, Inc. v. Microsoft Corp., 35 F.3d 1435 (9th Cir. 1994) (The Court will determine if expert testimony is necessary.)

For these reasons, Post Integrations, Inc.'s "Notice of Intent to Proffer Expert Testimony" is inappropriate, and the Court should deny the Joint Parties a new attempt to present evidence they never offered at trial or in briefing.
