INTERLOCUTORY APPEAL—C-00-20905 RMW

SPT

 

E-filed: 9/21/06

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

HYNIX SEMICONDUCTOR INC., HYNIX

SEMICONDUCTOR AMERICA INC.,

HYNIX SEMICONDUCTOR U.K. LTD., and

HYNIX SEMICONDUCTOR

DEUTSCHLAND GmbH,

Plaintiffs,

v.

RAMBUS INC.,

Defendant.

No. CV-00-20905 RMW

ORDER RESETTING BRIEFING

SCHEDULE FOR HYNIX'S MOTION FOR

CERTIFICATION OF SPOLIATION

ORDERS FOR INTERLOCUTORY APPEAL

[Docket No. 2412]

Hynix noticed a motion for certification of spoliation orders for interlocutory appeal for

hearing on October 20, 2006. According to Hynix's proposed briefing schedule, Rambus's

opposition is due September 29, 2006 and Hynix's reply brief is due October 6, 2006. Rambus

objects to this briefing schedule and contends that: (1) the court's § 1292(b) determination is best

made after the District of Delaware court rules on the spoliation issues in Micron Technology, Inc. v.

Rambus Inc., No. Civ. A.00-792-KAJ, and (2) Rambus would be prejudiced by this schedule

because it corresponds exactly with the schedule imposed by the Federal Trade Commission for

briefing of the remedy issues in In the Matter of Rambus Incorporated.

ORDER RESETTING BRIEFING SCHEDULE FOR HYNIX'S MOTION FOR CERTIFICATION OF SPOLIATION ORDERS FOR

INTERLOCUTORY APPEAL—C-00-20905 RMW

SPT 2

The court finds that Rambus would be prejudiced to the extent the briefing and hearing dates

for the § 1292(b) motion coincide with the deadlines set by the FTC for the remedy issues. 

According to the FTC's Order Scheduling Supplemental Briefing on Issues of Remedy, available at

http://www.ftc.gov/os/adjpro/d9302/060802rambusorder.pdf, both Rambus and Complaint Counsel

each shall file a brief addressing the remedy issues on or before September 15, 2006. On or before

September 29, 2006 each party may file a responding brief. Additional oral argument relating to the

remedy issues will be scheduled by further order of the FTC after receipt of the opening and

responding briefs. 

Accordingly, the court resets the briefing and hearing dates for Hynix's Motion for

Certification of Spoliation Orders for Interlocutory Appeal as follows:

Rambus's Opposition Brief: October 20, 2006

Hynix's Reply Brief: October 27, 2006

Hearing Date: November 10, 2006

Rambus may request to further revise these dates to the extent they coincide with any further

deadlines set by the FTC, including the date of additional oral argument on the remedy issues.
