OBJECTION NO. 7
EVIDENCE OBJECTED TO:
Paragraph 8: “I have personally reviewed and analyzed the Microsoft Outlook .pst file
that Guidewire has maintained for the email address igalluzzo@guidewire.com. I have
determined that Galluzzo sent no fewer than 1,077 emails to Guidewire employees identified by
Melody Fan as having worked in California during Galluzzo’s tenure with the company. I have
counted 215 emails from those Guidewire employees identified by Ms. Fan, a number that only
reflects emails that remained in Galluzzo’s Outlook inbox at the time he left the company. In
other words, this number is almost certainly lower than the actual number of emails Galluzzo
received from California-based colleagues during his nearly three years as a Guidewire
NMNNNNNNNP—‘HP—‘HHHHy—lp—tp—A
employee. In total,
MQOMAWNU—‘OOOOQONLAAUJNt—‘O
I counted 1,292 emails Galluzzo either sent to or received from his
colleagues based in California. I also counted 71 separate conference calls that Galluzzo
participated in with colleagues based in California, a number that only includes formal
conference calls for which Microsoft Outlook calendar invites were created and maintained. In
total, current Guidewire records show at least 1,363 separate contacts between Galluzzo and
company personnel in CA.”
GROUND FOR OBJECTIONS:
- mar—say (Cal. Evid. Code §§ 1200, 1201). Plaintiff’s counsel’s purported summary
of out-of-court “company records” and his purported “analysis” of such records
constitutes inadmissible hearsay.

Lacks Authentication (Cal. Evid. Code § 1401(a) and (b)). Plaintiff‘s counsel’s
statement seeks to characterize and summarize unattached and unidentified
“Guidewire records” purportedly including “the Microsoft Outlook .pst file that
Guidewire has maintained” without authentication.
Secondary Evidence Rule (Cal. Evid. Code § 1521). Plaintiffs counsel’s summary of
DOOQQM-RWN
the numbers of purported emails sent to and from Galluzzo and other Guidewire
employees and “calendar invites” and “conference calls” as reviewed in the purported
“Microsoft Outlook .pst file that Guidewire has maintained” constitutes inadmissible
secondary evidence.

numbers of purported emails sent to and from Galluzzo and other Guidewire
