file a joint letter of no more than ten pages no later than March 16, 2015.

discovery directed to narrowing the asserted claims. 

3. Pursuant to the parties’ agreement, there is a limit of 200 hours of fact depositions 

per side. Each side may allocate those hours as it sees fit between party and non-party 

depositions, subject to the general limitations imposed by the federal rules such as proportionality.
