ORDER RE HEARING ON

MOTION FOR A FINDING OF

EXCEPTIONAL CASE

The Court has received the parties joint proposed order granting a continuance on

defendants’ motion for a finding of exceptional case. The Court is sympathetic to Mr. Cannon’s

scheduling difficulties, but the Court’s calender would prohibit rescheduling for several weeks. 

Such delay would present a problem for the Court given the law-clerk turnover. Therefore, the

hearing shall go forward as scheduled with any one of Abbott’s other many abled attorneys or,

in the alternative, Mr. Cannon may appear by telephone. If Mr. Cannon chooses to appear by

telephone please contact Dawn Toland to make the appropriate arrangements.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 20, 2008. WILLIAM ALSUP
