 Plaintiffs Oracle America, Inc. and Oracle International Corporation (together “Oracle”) and 

Defendant Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (“HPE”) (together, the “Parties”) submit the 

following joint stipulation and request that the Court permit a short continuance of the expert 

discovery deadlines in this matter: 

WHEREAS, the deadline for expert disclosures was November 1, 2017 (Dkt. No. 312); 

WHEREAS, the Parties exchanged expert reports on November 1, 2017, including Oracle’s 

Expert Report of James Pampinella; 

WHEREAS, the current deadline for rebuttal expert reports is December 18, 2017 (id.); 

WHEREAS, the current expert discovery deadline is January 15, 2018 (id.); 

WHEREAS, on December 8, 2017, Oracle served upon HPE an Amended Expert Report of 

James Pampinella; 

WHEREAS, the Parties agree that additional time is needed to complete expert discovery as a 

result of Oracle’s service of the December 8 Amended Expert Report of James Pampinella; 

WHEREAS, prior orders issued by Judge Laporte and this Court permitted the Parties to take 

limited additional discovery after the fact discovery deadline with respect to Oracle’s hardware 

displacement claims and Oracle’s claims regarding HPE direct-support customers, and the Parties are 

continuing to meet and confer with respect to that discovery; 

WHEREAS, the Parties reserve their rights in all respects regarding potential future 

amendments to expert reports; in particular, Oracle reserves the right to amend its expert disclosures 

with respect to Oracle’s hardware displacement claims and Oracle’s claims regarding HPE directsupport customers, and HPE reserves the right to argue whether and to what extent such amendments 

are justifiable or should be allowed; 

WHEREAS, good cause therefore exists to alter the expert discovery deadlines; 

NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties hereby stipulate and request that the Court alter the expert 

discovery deadlines in order to permit the Parties to exchange expert discovery in the manner 

described below: 

(i) Oracle shall be permitted to serve the Amended Report of James Pampinella on 

December 8, 2017;
