ORDER RE SCHEDULE FOR

TALLURI AND DUGGAN

DEPOSITIONS

On July 6, 2006, Defense counsel contacted the court regarding a dispute which arose

regarding the scheduling of the Duggan deposition.1 Pursuant to instructions from the court, the

parties electronically filed briefs regarding the scheduling dispute. Having reviewed the papers

submitted by the parties, the court finds it appropriate to issue this order without oral argument. 

Based on the briefs and arguments presented,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the deposition of Madhu Talluri shall be rescheduled for a

date in August. The parties shall promptly meet and confer regarding the date for this deposition. 

The parties shall endeavor to coordinate the date for this deposition with the deposition of Marty

ORDER, page 2

Robbins, who also resides in Washington state. If the parties are unable by July 20, 2006 to agree on

the date for the Talluri deposition, then no later than July 21, 2006 the parties shall each file a short

brief (no more than 5 pages) setting forth their respective scheduling needs for that deposition, as

well as information regarding availability of Mr. Talluri and his counsel, if any. 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff’s counsel shall immediately inform counsel for

Sun Microsystems, Inc. and Mr. Talluri of the terms of this order with regard to the Talluri

deposition, and shall serve a copy of this order on each of them.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the deposition of Dermott Duggan shall take place on July

19, 2006 in lieu of the Tremblay deposition. If Plaintiff still wishes to take the Tremblay deposition,

the parties shall meet and confer regarding a date in August for that deposition.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the parties shall continue to meet and confer regarding the

remaining depositions. The court understood the current dispute related only to the Duggan

deposition. The court also addressed the Talluri deposition because both parties also briefed their

dispute with regard to that deposition. However, because it is not clear that both counsel understood

that disputes regarding the scheduling of any other depositions were currently before the court, such

disputes must be addressed in later briefing after further meet and confer. The parties shall endeavor

to finalize the entire deposition schedule as soon as possible. No later than July 31, 2006, the parties

shall each file a brief regarding any depositions that party has noticed, for which the parties have

been unable to agree to a schedule. The briefs shall include all pertinent information regarding the

availability of the deponent and the deponent’s counsel, if any. No later than August 3, 2006, the

non-noticing party shall file a responding brief. Absent further order of the court, the court will

schedule the depositions without further briefing or oral argument.

Dated: 7/7/06
