CASE NO. CV 10-00129 JSW 

Judge: Jeffrey S. White 

PLAINTIFF NEWMATIC SOUND 

SYSTEMS, INC.'S EX PARTE 

APPLICATION FOR ADMINISTRATIVE 

RELIEF AND APPROVAL TO FILE A 

MEMORANDUM IN OPPOSITION TO 

DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO DISMISS 

FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINT IN 

EXCESS OF 15 PAGES IN LENGTH; 

DECLARATION OF TERRY S. 

STERLING; [PROPOSED] ORDER 

TO DEFENDANTS AND TO THEIR ATTORNEYS OF RECORD: 

Plaintiff Newmatic Sound Systems, Inc. ("Newmatic Sound") is opposing defendants' Motion 

to Dismiss First Amended Complaint For Lack Of Article III Standing ("Motion"). In order to 

properly oppose the Motion, more space is needed than the 15 pages allowed by this Court's Civil 

Standing Order, ¶6. Pursuant to Rules 7-10 and 7-11 of this Court's Local Rules, Newmatic Sound 

hereby submits its Ex Parte Application for Administrative Relief from the page limitation of 15 

Case 3:10-cv-00129-JSW Document 43 Filed 04/13/10 Page 1 of 3 Case3:10-cv-00129-JSW Document37 Filed04/07/10 Page1 of 5

pages, and requests that approval be granted to file a longer opposition memorandum, not to exceed 

25 pages in length. 

Good cause exists to grant this Ex Parte Application. Defendants have moved to dismiss the 

First Amended Complaint based on: an alleged lack of personal jurisdiction as to defendant 

Magnacoustics, Inc.; an alleged lack of personal jurisdiction as to defendant Wayne Lederer; and an 

alleged lack of Article III standing as a result of Newmatic Sound's failure to include Wayne Lederer, 

owner of the patent at issue, as a defendant in the original Complaint (defendants claim that this 

defect was not cured by adding Lederer as a defendant in the First Amended Complaint). The 

arguments relating to all of these issues, and particularly the arguments relating to personal 

jurisdiction, are very fact intensive. Newmatic Sound must detail all of the contacts that each of the 

defendants has with the State of California, and then analyze those facts under the applicable legal 

principles. To do so and still be able to respond to defendants' arguments regarding Article III 

standing will require more than 15 pages. 

Newmatic Sound anticipates that the memorandum in opposition to the Motion will not 

exceed 25 pages, and that this amount of space is necessary to fully argue the issues raised in the 

Motion. Newmatic Sound will not have the opportunity to provide the court with a full analysis of 

the jurisdictional issues, including a complete analysis of the law and facts pertaining thereto, unless 

this Application is granted. 

Therefore, Newmatic Sound respectfully requests that this Court grant this Ex Parte 

Application and allow Newmatic Sound to file a memorandum of points and authorities in support of 

its Opposition to defendants' Motion to Dismiss not to exceed 25 pages in length.
