ADA

Mehta v. DLA Piper LLP

1:23-cv-04757 · Southern District of New York
WHAT HAPPENED — IN PLAIN ENGLISH

Plaintiff Anisha Mehta filed two motions to strike expert reports (Entry #157 declaration supporting motion to strike Bruce Green's expert testimony, Entry #158 motion to strike Elizabeth Newlon's expert report, Entry #159 supporting memorandum), with documents filed under seal per Entry #154. These expert challenges suggest we're in the discovery/expert phase with potential Daubert-style challenges that could significantly impact trial preparation and case strategy. No immediate 9 AM action required, but responses to these motions will likely be due within 14-21 days per local rules.

YOUR CASE FILE
  • Entry #157: Declaration of Jeanne M. Christensen filed supporting motion to strike Bruce Green expert report, with 4 exhibits, document replaced 3/17/2026
  • Entry #158: Motion to strike Elizabeth Newlon expert report filed by plaintiff
  • Entry #159: Memorandum of law supporting motion to strike Newlon expert testimony
  • All filings under seal pursuant to Entry #154, indicating sensitive/confidential material
WHAT THE OTHER SIDE DID
  • Coordinated dual-expert strike strategy suggests plaintiff is aggressively challenging our expert foundation, likely targeting methodology or qualifications rather than piecemeal objections
  • Sealed filings indicate potentially damaging expert materials that plaintiff wants to keep from public view while challenging them
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOUR CASE
  • Loss of both experts would significantly weaken our defense posture - need immediate expert review and potential backup expert identification
  • The sealed nature suggests our experts may have made statements or used methodologies that could be publicly embarrassing if disclosed during motion practice
