 1                                        [PROPOSED] ORDER

 2          Defendant Thomson Reuters has filed a Motion to Exclude the Testimony of Plaintiffs’

 3   Expert, Joseph Turow (the “Motion”). Plaintiffs oppose that Motion. Having considered the

 4   Motion, Plaintiffs’ Opposition, and all associated briefing, documents, and evidence on the record

 5   at the time of this Order, Defendant’s Motion is hereby GRANTED. The Court finds that the

 6   opinion offered by Professor Joseph Turow fails to meet the criteria of Federal Rule of Evidence

 7   702. Prof. Turow’s testimony constitutes mere personal opinion and is not supported by

 8   scientifically valid principles. Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharms., Inc., 43 F.3d 1311, 1319 (9th

 9   Cir. 1995). His testimony and report to date are therefore excluded.

10   IT IS SO ORDERED.
