STIPULATED REQUEST FOR ORDER CHANGING TIME AND ORDER 

CASE NO. 4:16-CV-00119-HSG-KAW 

Plaintiff Synchronoss Technologies, Inc., (“Synchronoss”) and Defendant Dropbox, Inc., 

(“Dropbox”) (collectively, the “Parties”) by and through their respective counsel and subject to 

the Court’s approval, stipulate as follows: 

WHEREAS, on January 9, 2018, the Court issued a Scheduling Order setting a 

September 21, 2018 deadline for the Parties to complete fact discovery, and a November 9, 

2018 deadline for the Parties to serve their initial expert disclosures and reports (ECF 173); 

WHEREAS, on September 24, 2018, the Court issued an Order granting the Parties’ 

Stipulated Request to complete all then noticed depositions and any associated document 

production cleanup after the fact discovery cutoff and before October 18, 2018 (ECF 224); 

WHEREAS, the Parties have noticed, scheduled, and taken a number of party and 

nonparty depositions in this matter, but have been unable to take all of the noticed 

depositions before the revised cutoff date of October 18, 2018 due to witness availabilities; 

WHEREAS, Synchronoss’ economic expert will be at a hearing in another matter 

from November 1–6, 2018, and, therefore, unable to make the November 9, 2018 deadline 

for submission of her expert report; 

WHEREAS, from October 4 through October 17, 2018, the Parties met and 

conferred to discuss the need for a further extension in the deadline for completing fact 

depositions, as well as an extension in the deadlines for expert discovery. Given these facts, 

the Parties believe there is good cause to allow the completion of the currently noticed 

depositions after the current cutoff date of October 18, 2018 and by November 9, 2018. The 

Parties further believe there is good cause to extend the deadline to serve their initial expert 

disclosures and reports from November 9, 2018 to November 20, 2018; This extension will 

not affect the April 5, 2019 deadline for the completion of expert discovery. 

WHEREAS, there have been five prior time modifications in this case: (1) when the 

Court granted Synchronoss’ motion for an extension of time to respond to Dropbox’s 

original February 5, 2016 motion to dismiss (ECF 70, 71); (2) when the Court granted the 

Parties’ Stipulated Request for an extension of time for Dropbox to file its reply in support 

of the Motion to Dismiss (ECF 90, 91); (3) when the Court granted the Parties’ stipulated

STIPULATED REQUEST FOR ORDER CHANGING TIME AND ORDER 

CASE NO. 4:16-CV-00119-HSG-KAW 

request for an extension of time to submit their ESI Stipulation and Protective Order (ECF 

121, 123); (4) when the Court granted the Parties’ Stipulated Request to Extend the 

Document Production Deadline (ECF 186, 187); and (5) when the Court granted the Parties’ 

Stipulated Request to Extend the Completion of Noticed Depositions Beyond the Close of 

Fact Discovery; (ECF 223, 224); and 

WHEREAS, the Parties’ requested extension will have no impact on the overall 

schedule for the cases, as the remaining deadlines in the Scheduling Order will be 

unaffected; the requested extension will leave the Parties ample time to complete expert 

discovery, and the brief extension will not prejudice any Party. 

 NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, BY 

AND BETWEEN THE PARTIES THROUGH THEIR RESPECTIVE COUNSEL, THAT

subject to the Court’s approval, the following new deadlines are set in this action: 

Event Current Deadline New Deadline

Deadline to complete currently 

noticed depositions 

October 18, 2018 November 9, 2018 

Initial expert disclosures and 

reports due 

November 9, 2018 November 20, 2018 

Rebuttal expert disclosures and 

reports due 

December 21, 2018 January 18, 2019 

Should Plaintiff serve one or 

more rebuttal reports regarding 

objective indicia of nonobviousness, Defendant’s 

responsive expert reports limited 

solely to objective indicia of 

non-obviousness
