(“Order”) in the above-captioned proceeding: 

WHEREAS the current briefing schedule requires for PLAINTIFFS to file their Motion for 

Class Certification on April 21, 2010, DEFENDANT to file its Opposition to PLAINTIFFS’ 

Motion for Class Certification on June 21, 2010; PLAINTIFFS to file their Reply to 

DEFENDANT’S Opposition on July 21, 2010; 

WHEREAS since entering into the aforementioned briefing schedule the parties have 

exchanged discovery requests, scheduled depositions, met and conferred regarding 

DEFENDANT’S responses and worked diligently in order to complete the discovery necessary to 

file and oppose PLAINTIFFS’ Motion for Class Certification. 

WHEREAS despite the parties best efforts to complete the discovery necessary for 

PLAINTIFFS’ Motion for Class Certification, the following items are still pending completion: 

(1) DEFENDANT’S search and production of all relevant documents requested by PLAINTIFFS; 

(2) the production of documents in the possession, custody or control of the Taiwanese corporation 

Acer, Inc.; (3) the production of documents subpoenaed by PLAINTIFFS from Microsoft 

Corporation; (4) the production of documents to be subpoenaed from EMI; and (5) the deposition 

of DEFENDANTS’ designated witnesses pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. Proc. 30(b)(6). The parties have 

tentatively scheduled that all of the aforementioned discovery be completed in May 2010, subject 

to the trial schedule of defense counsel. 

WHEREAS pursuant to the parties’ meet and confer discussions, the parties agree that this 

case is not ripe for settlement via mediation prior to the outcome of PLAINTIFFS’ Motion for 

Class Certification. The parties have reached an impasse concerning the merits of PLAINTIFFS’ 

claims and do not think mediation would be valuable at this time. 

THE PARTIES STIPULATE AND AGREE AS FOLLOWS: 

1. PLAINTIFFS’ Motion for Class Certification shall be filed on July 22, 2010; 

2. DEFENDANT’S Opposition to PLAINTIFFS’ Motion for Class Certification shall 

be filed on September 21, 2010; 

3. PLAINTIFFS’ Reply to DEFENDANT’S Opposition to PLAINTIFFS’ Motion for
