The above matter has been referred to Magistrate Judge Joseph C. Spero for all discovery matters.

The Court is in receipt of the following: (1) Kyocera Wireless Corp.’s Motion to Compel

Production of Documents and Responses to Interrogatories [Docket No. 276]; (2) Enreach’s Motion to

Shenzhen Zhuozhuang Network Technology, Inc., Guohong Xu, and Jing Wu to Attend Depositions and to

matters. Within five (5) business days of the lead trial counsels’ meet-and-confer session, the parties shall

provide a detailed Joint Letter to the Court. This Joint Letter shall include a description of every issue in

session shall alternate, with the first meeting location to be chosen by counsel for Plaintiff and the second

meeting location to be at the office to be chosen by counsel for Defendants, and so forth. Any side may

demand a meeting on ten (10) days’ notice after having failed to resolve the discovery issue in question by

telephone. At the conclusion of the meet-and-confer session, the parties shall submit a joint letter brief to

the Court with a detailed summary of the remaining issues, each side’s substantive position, and each side’s

proposed compromise on the issues.
