STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER CHANGING TIME FOR BRIEFING ON MOTIONS 

CASE NO: CV 06-6760 RMW (RS) 

Pursuant to Civil L.R. 6-2 and 7-12, Plaintiff FusionArc, Inc. (“FusionArc”) and 

Defendant Solidus Networks, Inc. (“Solidus”) stipulate and jointly request that the Court enter an 

order changing the briefing schedule on two contemplated motions. 

Solidus’ Motion re FusionArc’s Patent Local Rule 3-1 Contentions

Solidus has challenged the sufficiency of FusionArc’s Preliminary Infringement 

Contentions under Patent Local Rule 3-1, served on February 26, 2007. After meeting and 

conferring by both correspondence and telephone, FusionArc has not agreed to amend its 

disclosures, and Solidus therefore intends to move the Court for relief. See Declaration of Joshua 

M. Masur (“Masur Decl.”), ¶ 2. 

The case schedule currently requires Solidus to serve Preliminary Invalidity Contentions 

under Patent Local Rule 3-3, and its document production under Patent Local Rule 3-4, on April 

16, 2007. However, Solidus contends that until and unless FusionArc amends its Patent Local 

Rule 3-1 disclosures, Solidus cannot comply with the requirements of Patent Local Rules 3-3 and 

3-4. See Masur Decl., ¶ 3. FusionArc contends that its Preliminary Infringement Contentions 

satisfy the requirements of Patent L.R. 3-1, and therefore do not require amendment. FusionArc 

further contends that notwithstanding any alleged deficiencies in its Preliminary Infringement 

Contentions, Solidus still has a duty to serve Preliminary Invalidity Contentions under Patent L.R. 

3-3, and to produce documents under Patent L.R. 3-4, by April 16, 2007. 

To allow adequate time for hearing and decision prior to Solidus’ April 16, 2007 deadline, 

and to avoid the need to alter the case schedule absent amendment of FusionArc’s Patent Local 

Rule 3-1 Preliminary Infringement Contentions, the parties have agreed that the dispute be heard 

on Magistrate Judge Seeborg’s civil motions calendar on Wednesday, April 4, 2007 at 9:30 a.m. 

The parties have therefore agreed to an accelerated briefing schedule. See Masur Decl., ¶ 4. 

FusionArc’s Motion re Protective Order

The parties have met and conferred by both correspondence and telephone in an attempt to 

agree on the form of a stipulated protective order based on the Northern District Model Stipulated 

Protective Order. At this time, they believe that they remain at an impasse on only a single issue: 

namely, whether in the event of an unresolved dispute over whether a document has been

properly designated for “outside attorneys’ eyes only,” the burden to bring the dispute before the 

Court should fall on the designating party or the receiving party. See Masur Decl., ¶ 5. 

The parties have agreed that, for the convenience of the Court and for the sake of 

efficiency, the dispute regarding the protective order should be calendared along with Solidus’ 

Motion regarding FusionArc’s Patent Local Rule 3-1 Contentions. See Masur Decl., ¶ 6. 

[Proposed] Order

For the foregoing reasons, the briefing schedule shall be as follows: 

• Solidus will file its Motion regarding FusionArc’s Patent Local Rule 3-1 

Contentions, and FusionArc will file its Motion regarding the Protective Order, no 

later than March 14, 2007; 

• Oppositions are due no later than March 21, 2007; 

• Replies are due no later than March 28, 2007; and 

• Both Motions will be heard on April 4, 2007. 

PURSUANT TO STIPULATION, IT IS SO ORDERED.
