United States District Court

Northern District of California

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SYNOPSYS, INC.,

Plaintiff,

v.

ATOPTECH, INC,

Defendant.

Case No. 13-cv-02965-MMC 

ORDER DENYING WITHOUT 

PREJUDICE DEFENDANT’S MOTION 

FOR RELIEF FROM NOVEMBER 16, 

2016 ORDER

Re: Dkt. No. 904

Before the Court is defendant’s motion, filed December 2, 2016, for relief from a 

nondispositive pretrial order of Magistrate Judge Donna M. Ryu, filed November 16, 

2016. 

Defendant’s motion is, however, based on evidence not previously submitted to 

Magistrate Judge Ryu, specifically, an exhibit “created by [defendant’s counsel] with 

summary information about the asserted patents in the case.” (See Marsh Dec. ¶ 12; 

see also Mot. at 1:21-23 (“Although [defendant] believes that the November 16 order is 

clearly erroneous . . . should the Court prefer, [defendant] respectfully requests leave to 

file a motion for reconsideration of the November 16 before Judge Ryu.”).) As a 

consequence, defendant’s motion is, in essence, a motion for reconsideration based on 

newly-offered evidence. 

Accordingly, defendant’s motion is hereby DENIED, without prejudice to 

defendant’s filing a motion for leave to file a motion for reconsideration, to be presented
