Patrick Looby

Patrick Looby represented Elizabeth Holmes in evidentiary and procedural disputes, focusing on the scope, admissibility, and preservation of contested evidence. His recorded appearances also included the disputes over Dr. Dhawan's patient-harm testimony and the second Parloff interview designations.

During a dispute over a proposed defense document, the court asked Looby whether the proposed document matched the subjects reached on cross-examination. He distinguished the purported one-for-one comparison on the grounds that it involved a different purpose and time. The court later deferred admission of the attached document while noting that distinction.

Looby also opposed wholesale admission of the 128-page CMS report and related correspondence. He sought redactions for tests outside the indictment and bill of particulars, challenged double hearsay and the agency foundation for lab-employee statements, and raised Rule 403 concerns, arguing that regulatory credibility and patient-impact opinions required a properly noticed expert. After the government rested without calling a CMS witness, he renewed the defense motion to strike the report and related testimony, adding a Confrontation Clause objection before the defense's anticipated Rule 29 motion.
