COUNSEL LISTED ON LAST PAGES

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

SAN FRANCISCO DIVISION 

Nichia Corporation 

Plaintiff, 

vs.

Seoul Semiconductor Co., Ltd. and Seoul 

Semiconductor, Inc., 

Defendants. 

Case No: 3:06-CV-00162-MMC (JCS) 

JOINT ADMINISTRATIVE REQUEST 

TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE MOTIONS 

TO COMPEL 

Judge: Maxine M. Chesney 

Magistrate Judge: Joseph C. Spero 

 Plaintiff Nichia Corporation (“Nichia”) and Defendants Seoul Semiconductor Co., Ltd., 

Seoul Semiconductor Inc., (collectively “Seoul”), file this joint administrative request for 

extension of the deadline to file motions to compel documents pursuant to The United States 

District Court for the Northern District of California Local Rule (“L.R.”) 7-11. 

1. PROCEDURE

 To make an administrative request under Local Rule 7-11, a moving party or parties must 

set forth specifically the action requested, and the reasons supporting the motion. Such a motion 

must be accompanied by either (a) a stipulation of parties under L.R. 7-12 or, (b) by a declaration 

explaining why such a stipulation could not be reached. 

2. ACTION REQUESTED

 Plaintiff and Defendants respectfully request that the District Court allow for a brief 

reprieve in the discovery deadlines. Specifically, the parties jointly request an extension of the 

deadline to file motions to compel documents from today (April 24, 2007) to Wednesday, April 

25, 2007. There are several issues of contention between the parties, but one more day to work 

them out may obviate the need for a joint letter or motion. 

 The Court has previously modified the deadline to file motions to compel documents 

AND ORDER THEREON

Joint Administrative Request To Extend Time to File 

Motion to Compel Production of Documents 

3:06-CV-00162-MMC (JCS) 

WASH_1861602.1 

related to damages only to April 24, 2007. See Orders (Dkt. Nos. 210, 218 and 228). Whether 

the deadline to file motions to compel non-damages related documents has passed is one issue in 

contention between the parties. The parties jointly make this request expressly reserving their 

right to address the deadline to file motions to compel non-damages related documents. 

3. REASONS SUPPORTING THIS REQUEST

 Both parties have been working diligently to identify and produce all necessary 

documents. This is a slow process, as the parties are in Japan and Korea, respectively. 

Translation and review of thousands of documents in many different languages have caused 

delay in this process. The parties have reached agreement on most issues surrounding the 

production of documents, but need just a bit more time. 

4. STIPULATION

 By signing this joint administrative request, all parties act in concert in requesting the 

District Court Judge move the deadline to file motions to compel documents only as described 

above in Section 2.
