12 in other cases. They haven't disclosed an opinion from this
13 case. So we will look at those other trial testimony, and any
14 opinions in those testimony that our client -- our expert
15 disagrees with we can provide them by this Saturday.
16 THE COURT: That sounds very reasonable to me. OK?
17 MR. ROHRBACH: Yes, your Honor. Although we know
18 that, again, in addition to the other -- his testimony in other
19 cases, we would point the defense expert to the 3500 material
20 as well in this case and the government's exhibits.
21 THE COURT: Well, I mean, your notice should provide
22 the opinions that he's going to offer. Does it?
23 It's not a scavenger hunt. You're required, as the
24 first matter, to provide, pursuant to Rule 16, the opinions
25 that he's going to offer. Have you done that?
