SHORTENING TIME FOR HEARING ON DEFT’S

MOT. TO EXTEND DURATION OF PLTF. DEPO

CASE NO. C 08-2290 JF (PVT)

-1-

Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 6-2 and the Standing Order for Discovery Practice in All

Cases Referred to Magistrate Judge Patricia V. Trumbull for Discovery, the parties submit the

following stipulated request to shorten the time for hearing defendant Rudolph Technologies,

Inc.’s (“Rudolph”) Motion to Extend the Duration of Plaintiff’s Deposition. As Rudolph’s

separate motion explains, Rudolph requests the Court to permit a 14-hour (two days) deposition

rather than the 7-hour (one day) deposition permitted by the rules without agreement of the

parties or court order. This stipulated request for a shortened briefing schedule is supported by

the accompanying Declaration of Rodney G. Strickland, Jr. filed herewith:

STIPULATED REQUEST

WHEREAS, on or about April 30, plaintiff’s deposition was noticed for June 1-2, 2010;

WHERAS, on May 28, 2010, plaintiff’s deposition was postponed due to a dispute

between the parties regarding the appropriate duration of the deposition;

WHEREAS, pursuant Fed. R. Civ. P. 30(d), Rudolph has filed concurrently herewith a

Motion to Extend the Duration of Plaintiff’s Deposition (“the Motion”);

WHEREAS, plaintiff intends to oppose the Motion;

WHEREAS, fact discovery in this matter closes on August 2, 2010;

WHEREAS, in light of the fact discovery cut-off, the parties’ need for additional

discovery following plaintiff’s deposition, the parties’ desire to resolve the issue presented by the

Motion promptly, and the parties’ other scheduling concerns, the parties agree that the Motion

should be resolved on a shortened schedule and at the Court’s earliest convenience;

WHEREAS, Rudolph’s counsel has been informed by the Court’s clerk that the Court is

available on June 15, 2010, to hear this motion in the event that this request is granted; and

WHEREAS, the parties have rescheduled plaintiff’s deposition for June 23-24, 2010, and

therefore a hearing on June 15, 2010, would allow the Motion to be resolved prior to the new

date for plaintiff’s deposition.

NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto, through their undersigned counsel, stipulate and

agree, and hereby request a shortened hearing schedule on the Motion as follows:
