JOINT STIPULATION REQUESTING 

MODIFICATION TO SCHEDULING 

ORDER -- CASE NO. 3:12-cv-5422-JST

Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 6-2, the parties to this action respectfully submit the 

following Joint Stipulation Requesting Modification to the Court’s Scheduling Order (D.E. #105), 

dated October 10, 2014.

1. The fact discovery cut-off, which is currently August 7, 2015, shall be extended 

until September 8, 2015; the expert disclosures deadline, which is presently August 7, 2015, shall 

be extended until September 8, 2015; the expert rebuttal deadline, which is presently August 28, 

2015, shall be extended until September 29, 2015; the expert discovery deadline, which is 

presently October 9, 2015, shall be extended to November 9, 2015, and the deadline for 

dispositive motions, which is presently October 30, 2015, shall be extended to November 30, 

2015.

2. The reason for the requested extension is that the parties have simultaneously 

requested an extension of the briefing schedule and hearing date for Emblaze’s Motion to Compel 

Discovery (D.E. #114), the latter by three weeks to the Court’s next available date after the date 

currently scheduled (from April 7 to April 28). The parties have been and are continuing to meet 

and confer to resolve the issues raised in Emblaze’s motion, have resolved some of those issues, 

and believe that the additional time will greatly increase the likelihood that they will reach 

agreement on the remaining issues and avoid the need for the Court’s intervention or any further 

briefing. The parties are requesting an extension of the close of fact discovery and the window 

for expert discovery by 30 days to allow additional time for document review and deposition 

preparation in case the resolution of discovery issues pushes out the time within which Emblaze 

receives requested documents. This would still leave five months between the close of expert 

discovery (now proposed for November 9, 2015) and the commencement of trial on April 4, 

2016, and four months between the filing of dispositive motions (now proposed for November 30, 

215) and the commencement of trial.

3. The previous time modifications in this case are as follows: A Case Management 

Conference had originally been scheduled for February 11, 2013 (D.E. #21), before being vacated 

and reset to February 25, 2013, and subsequently being vacated pursuant to a Reassignment Order 

(D.E. #30). Subsequent to the Clerk’s Notice Setting Case Management Conference (D.E. #37),
