PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND

Plaintiff Josslyn Motha has filed a complaint for conversion of patents and related 

intellectual property against Defendants Time Warner Cable Inc., Time Warner Cable 

Enterprises LLC, Time Warner NY Cable LLC, Charter Communications, Inc., and Bank of 

America NA. Plaintiff alleges that Charter Communications, Inc. is the corporate acquirer of the 

Time Warner entities, and is named for that reason. Plaintiff alleges that Bank of America NA is 

named in its role as titled assignee of the Disputed IP. The action was filed on June 24, 2016, 

and all of the named defendants were served no later than July 5, 2016. Realizing the 

complexity of the situation from the side of the defendants, plaintiff's counsel provided the 

defendants with extensions of time that are now reciprocated in the following stipulation. 

Further, after meeting and conferring prior to plaintiff's intended filing of a motion for 

preliminary injunction to restrain further transfer of the Disputed IP, counsel resolved the matter 

by means of a further stipulation incorporated below.

STIPULATION

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by and between Plaintiff and Defendants hereto, and each of 

them, through their respective counsel of record, as undersigned herein below, as follows:

SCHEDULING

1. Defendants shall have until September 22, 2016 to file responses to the complaint;

2. In the event any or all of the Defendants file motions in response to the Complaint, 

Plaintiff shall have until October 27, 2016 to respond to said motions, and the Defendants 

shall have until November 15, 2016 to file any reply to the Plaintiff’s response;

3. The parties request that the Initial Case Management Conference in this matter be 

continued from October 4, 2016 at 2:00 p.m. to November 7, 2016 at 2:00 p.m. or any 

later date available from the Court;

4. This is the first requested time modification submitted to the Court for approval in this 

case; and

5. The requested schedule will not have an effect on the trial or discovery schedule for the 

case because a case schedule has not been proposed by the parties or ordered by the 

Court.

INTERIM DISPOSITION OF DISPUTED IP

6. Defendants shall:

a. not transfer or convey the intellectual properties identified in Exhibit A to the 

Complaint, or any domestic or foreign patents, patent applications, or patent 

continuations submitted based on the intellectual properties listed in Exhibit A 

(the “Disputed IP”) prior to judgment in or dismissal of this action without first 

providing Plaintiff 45-days’ notice of the intent to transfer the Disputed IP; and 

b. act in accordance with any order of the Court regarding the disposition of the 

Disputed IP, including but not limited to any order in connection with any motion 

filed by Plaintiff for a preliminary injunction.

7. The parties agree that this stipulation will not be used as evidence to support any 

inference, judgment or finding against any party regarding the Disputed IP.

8. In deciding any motion for preliminary injunction of Plaintiff filed in reliance upon this 

stipulation, the Court shall find no prejudicial delay on Plaintiff's part in filing the motion

based on this stipulation. Defendants, however, reserve their rights regarding any delay 

alleged to have arisen prior to Plaintiff’s filing of her Complaint. 

9. The parties shall meet and confer in good faith on or before September 28, 2017 to 

discuss whether an extension of paragraph 6’s notice provision is warranted, and in the 

event that it is not, the parties shall jointly stipulate to dissolve or amend the stipulation.
