POWER INTEGRATIONS, INC.,

Plaintiff,

 v.

Defendants. /

No. C-09-5235 MMC

ORDER DENYING DEFENDANTS’

MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT

AND MOTION TO EXPEDITE BRIEFING

SCHEDULE

Before the Court are defendants’ “Motion for Summary Judgment of No Entire

Market Value Rule” and “Administrative Motion to Expedite the Briefing Schedule and

Hearing Date,” filed October 22, 2015. Plaintiff has filed a response to the motion to

expedite the briefing schedule, in which, inter alia, it argues the motion for summary

judgment is untimely. The Court agrees. Pursuant to Rule 56(b) of the Federal Rules of

Civil Procedure, “[u]nless a different time is set by local rule or the court orders otherwise, a

party may file a motion for summary judgment at any time until 30 days after the close of all

discovery.” See Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(b). Here, discovery closed no later than September 2,

2015 (see Joint Status Report and Scheduling Order, filed February 25, 2015; Stipulation

and Order, filed August 11, 2015), and defendants have failed to show good cause for an

extension of the 30-day deadline provided in Rule 56. 

Accordingly, defendants’ motion for summary judgment and motion to expedite the
