 I. Factual Background 

In support of this stipulation, the undersigned Plaintiff and Defendants provide the 

following facts: 

A. On February 28, 2017, the Court conducted the initial case management 

conferences for the related cases Synchronoss Techs., Inc. v. Egnyte, Inc., Case No. 16-CV00120-HSG and Synchronoss Techs., Inc. v. Funambol, Inc., Case No. 16-CV-02026-HSG. 

(ECF 69, 83, respectively.) During the proceedings before the Honorable Haywood S. Gilliam, 

Jr., the Court stated its desire for the parties to come to an agreement on a coordinated case 

schedule through the claim construction deadlines. Id. 

B. On March 1, 2017, the Court entered a minute entry following the case 

management conferences, directing counsel for Synchronoss, Egnyte, and Funambol to meet and 

confer with counsel on the related Dropbox case, Synchronoss Techs., Inc. v. Dropbox, Inc., Case 

No. 16-CV-00119-HSG, regarding a proposed agreement to a coordinated case schedule through 

claim construction. (ECF 69, 83, respectively.) The Court further directed the parties to e-file a 

stipulation and proposed order proposing a coordinated case schedule following the meet and 

confer. Id.

C. Pursuant to the Court’s direction, counsel for Plaintiff and Defendants met and 

conferred on March 8, 2017 and March 10, 2017 via email and have agreed to the proposed 

coordinated case schedule outlined below to be entered in all related cases, subject to the 

convenience of the court. 

D. Based on these facts, Plaintiff and Defendants believe the proposed coordinated 

case schedule outlined below meets the specific request of the Court. Further, Plaintiff and 

Defendants believe a coordinated case schedule between the related cases through the claim 

construction deadlines would be in the interest of judicial economy, conserve the Court’s and the 

parties’ resources, and allow for a more efficient and productive discussion with the Court. 

F. Plaintiff and Dropbox agree that this stipulation modifies all deadlines in the 

current case schedule for the Dropbox case as previously set by the Court on January 4, 2017.
