JOINT REQUEST TO REMOVE INDIVIDUALS ERRONEOUSLY LISTED AS DEFENDANTS ON DOCKET

CASE NO. 14-CV-03236-RMW 

Subsequent to the filing of Plaintiff Cisco Systems, Inc.’s (“Plaintiff”) Amended Complaint 

on August 29, 2014 (Docket Entry No. 21), the docket was revised to list 30 individuals as 

defendants: Bassel Atala, Marietta Axisa, Michael Cosson, Luca DiFalco, Aymeric Gisselbrecht, 

Perry Mason, Brian Mielewski, John Rossi, Luigi Areuri, Ignazio Bellomo, Maria-Rosa Borghi, 

Marcello Cicchetti, Angelo D’Arrigo, Antonio Grimaldi, Matteo Lo Presti, Claudio Mazzurco, 

Giacomo Mercadante, Antonino Motta, Fabio Salanitri, Francesca Sandrini, Max Saponaro, Mirko 

Sciortino, David Simone Trapani, William Chan, Sam Guo, Blancky Ho, Samuel Liu, Charlie Zhu, 

Vivek Sharma, and Harjett Singh (“the individuals”). 

 Plaintiff did not intend the Amended Complaint to be read as naming the individuals as 

defendants. Rather, the Amended Complaint should be read as naming only STMicroelectronics, Inc. 

as a defendant. Plaintiff and Defendant therefore respectively request that the individuals be removed 

from the docket so that they are not listed as defendants in this matter.
