 Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 6-2 and in light of the accompanying declaration of Jeremy M. 

Duggan, the parties hereby stipulate and agree as follows. On July 31, 2006, the Court entered its 

Amended Pretrial Preparation Order, setting deadlines leading up to the trial in this case, including a 

December 15, 2006 deadline for the close of fact discovery and a January 5, 2006 deadline for opening 

expert reports. Because discovery is not yet complete, and because the Court has not yet issued a 

claim construction order following the October 19, 2006 hearing, the parties agree that the schedule 

should be altered as follows:
