This Order Relates To: SHORTEN TIME 

Case No. 3:14-cv-02510 

VIEWSONIC CORP. 

 Plaintiff 

 v. 

 CHUNGHWA PICTURE TUBES, LTD., 

et al, 

 

 Defendants. 

 Now before the Court is an administrative motion to shorten 

time filed by Defendant Chunghwa Picture Tubes, Ltd. and Chunghwa 

Picture Tubes (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. (collectively, "Chunghwa"). ECF 

No. 3474 ("Mot."). Citing the impending trial date and various 

other pre-trial deadlines, Chunghwa seeks to shorten the time for 

Plaintiff ViewSonic Corporation to respond to Chunghwa's motion to 

exclude certain allegedly late-disclosed evidence pursuant to 

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 37(c)(1). ECF No. 3473 ("37(c)(1) 

Mot."). Under Chunghwa's proposed schedule, ViewSonic would be

Court

For the Northern District of California 

ordered to file its opposition to the motion to exclude by January 

29, 2015, Chunghwa would file its reply by February 3, 2015, and 

the motion would be heard along with the pending summary judgment 

motions on Friday, February 6, 2015. 

 ViewSonic opposes the request, arguing that it will be 

prejudiced by being forced to respond to Chunghwa's motion to 

exclude just two days after opposing this motion and in the midst 

of preparing for trial on March 9, 2015. See ECF No. 3493 

("Opp'n") at 1-2. As a result, ViewSonic argues the motion should 

be governed by the schedule set forth by the local rules, which 

would require ViewSonic to file its opposition to the motion to 

exclude on February 6, 2015, Chunghwa to serve its reply by 

February 13, 2015, and the motion to be heard on March 6, 2015. 

 In light of the prejudice ViewSonic will suffer if it is 

forced to respond with such short notice, the motion is DENIED. 

Instead, briefing on the motion to exclude shall be governed by the 

schedule set forth in the local rules. To accommodate Chunghwa's 

concerns about the hearing date's proximity to the trial date, the 

Court ORDERS the motion to be set for a hearing on Friday, February 

20, 2015 at 10:00 AM. 

 IT IS SO ORDERED. 

 Dated: January 29, 2015
