Case No. 05-02972 MMC – 2 – DOCSSFO-12420664.1-JBOVICH 11/9/05 10:09 AM

STIPULATED REQUEST TO CONTINUE CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE AND [PROPOSED] ORDER 

All parties, by and through their undersigned counsel, hereby stipulate to this Request to 

Continue Case management Conference, filed concurrently with the supporting Declaration of John 

P. Bovich. 

The parties stipulate as follows: 

1. Plaintiff, VNUS Medical Technolgies, Inc. (“VNUS”), filed its complaint for patent 

infringement against defendants Diomed Holdings, Inc., Diomed Inc. (collectively "Diomend") on 

July 21, 2005.

2. On August 23, 2005, the Court issued its Case Management Conference Order, 

setting the Initial Case Management Conference for December 2, 2005 at 10:30 a.m. 

3. On October 12, 2005, VNUS filed is First Amended Complaint adding defendants 

AngioDynamics, Inc. (“AngioDynamics”), and Vascular Solutions, Inc. (“VSI”) to the lawsuit. 

4. On November 7, 2005, VNUS agreed to extend the deadline for AngioDynamics and 

VSI to answer the complaint until December 9, 2005. 

5. Because two new defendants have recently been added to the case, and because their 

answers will not likely be on file by December 2, 2005 - the date currently scheduled for the Case 

Management Conference – AngioDynamics and VSI believe that a short continuance of the Case 

Management Conference is warranted, and VNUS does not object to a short delay to the first week 

of January. If the CMC is held before AngioDynamics and VSI respond to the complaint, that 

procedure would be likely to lead to further delay as the issues will not be properly framed as of the 

time of the CMC. 

6. The parties agree to continue the Case Management Conference until January 6, 

2006, at 10:30 a.m. or as soon thereafter as the Court’s schedule permits. 

ATTESTATION OF FILER CONCERNING SIGNATURE 

In accordance with general Order No. 45, Section X, the filer of this document herby attests 

that concurrence in the filing of this document has been obtained from each of the signatures listed 

below.
