STIPULATED REQUEST FOR ORDER CHANGING TIME AND [PROPOSED] 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 and October 22, 2018, the Court issued Orders 

permitting currently noticed depositions to be completed by November 9, 2018, and extending 

the deadline for the Parties to serve their initial expert disclosures and reports until November 

20, 2018 (ECF 224; ECF 232); 

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 November 9, 2018 due to witness availabilities (including 

family emergencies) and other factors (Declaration of D. Shayon Ghosh (“Ghosh Decl.”), 

¶ 5);

WHEREAS, on November 6 and 15, 2018, the parties have met and conferred over a 

schedule for expert disclosures that does not change the date for completion of expert 

discovery, but otherwise accommodates witness unavailability and the completion of fact 

depositions (Ghosh Decl., ¶ 6);

WHEREAS, based on the foregoing, the Parties believe there is good cause to allow 

the completion of the noticed fact depositions by November 29, 2018, which may include 

cleanup document production related to the noticed depositions. The Parties further believe 

there is good cause to extend the deadline to serve their initial expert disclosures and reports

from November 20, 2018 to December 3, 2018, and to extend the deadlines for further expert 

disclosures and reports accordingly. This extension will not affect the April 5, 2019 deadline 

for the completion of expert discovery (Ghosh Decl., ¶ 7);

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

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

STIPULATED REQUEST FOR ORDER CHANGING TIME AND [PROPOSED] ORDER 

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

February 5, 2016 motion to dismiss (ECF 70; ECF 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; ECF 91); (3) when the Court granted the Parties’ stipulated 

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

121; ECF 123); (4) when the Court granted the Parties’ Stipulated Request to Change the 

Deadline for Document Production (ECF 186; ECF 187); (5) when the Court granted the 

Parties’ Stipulated Request to Complete Currently Noticed Depositions Beyond The Close Of 

Fact Discovery (ECF 223; ECF 224); and (6) when the Court granted the Parties’ Stipulated 

Request for Order Changing Time and Order (ECF 231; ECF 232);

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

the remaining deadlines in the Scheduling Order will be unaffected (Ghosh Decl., ¶ 9).

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, all remaining
