STIPULATED REQUEST FOR ORDER CHANGING TIME AND ORDER 

CASE NO. 4:16-CV-00119-HSG

Plaintiff Synchronoss Technologies, Inc., (“Synchronoss”) and Defendant Dropbox, Inc., 

(“Dropbox”) (collectively, the “Parties”) by and through their respective counsel and subject to 

the Court’s approval, stipulate as follows: 

WHEREAS, on January 9, 2018, the Court issued an Order Setting the Case Schedule 

that set a deadline for the Parties to complete expert discovery by April 5, 2019. (ECF 173, 

4:16-CV-00119-HSG-KAW); 

WHEREAS, the Parties have noticed, scheduled, and taken a number of expert 

depositions in this matter, but two of those expert depositions are unable to be completed 

before the April 5, 2019 deadline due to counsel’s and the witnesses’ availability; (See 

Declaration of Sarah S. Eskandari (“Eskandari Dec.”), ¶ 3.) 

WHEREAS, the previously noticed depositions of Dr. Michael Freedman and Dr. 

Keith R. Ugone, expert witnesses retained by Dropbox, are currently scheduled for April 11 

and April 25, 2019, respectively. (Eskandari Dec. ¶ 4.) 

WHEREAS, on February 28, 2019 and March 19, 2019, the Parties met and conferred 

via e-mail to discuss the need for approaching the court to obtain leave to complete the two 

currently noticed expert depositions after the cutoff date due to witness and counsel 

availabilities. (Eskandari Dec. ¶ 5.) Given these facts, the Parties believe there is good cause 

to allow the completion of the two currently noticed expert depositions after the cutoff date 

and by April 26, 2019. 

WHEREAS, there have been seven prior time modifications in this case: (1) when the 

Court granted Synchronoss’ motion for an extension of time to respond to Dropbox’s original 

February 5, 2016 motion to dismiss (ECF 70, 71); (2) when the Court granted the Parties’ 

Stipulated Request for an extension of time for Dropbox to file its reply in support of the 

Motion to Dismiss (ECF 90, 91); (3) when the Court granted the Parties’ stipulated request 

for an extension of time to submit their ESI Stipulation and Protective Order (ECF 121, 123); 

(4) when the Court granted the Parties’ Stipulated Request to Change the Deadline for 

Document Production (ECF 187); (5) when the Court granted the Parties’ Stipulated Request 

to Complete Currently Noticed Depositions Beyond The Close Of Fact Discovery (ECF 224);

STIPULATED REQUEST FOR ORDER CHANGING TIME AND ORDER 

CASE NO. 4:16-CV-00119-HSG

(6) when the Court granted the Parties’ Stipulated Request for Order Changing Time and 

Order (ECF 232); and (7) when the Court granted the Parties’ Stipulated Request for Order 

Changing Time and Order to complete noticed fact depositions to November 29, 2018 and the 

deadline to serve their initial expert disclosures and reports from November 20, 2018 to 

December 3, 2018, and to extend the deadlines for further expert disclosures and reports 

accordingly. (ECF 244). (Eskandari Dec. ¶ 6.) 

WHEREAS, the Parties’ requested extension is limited to the currently noticed expert 

depositions of Dr. Keith R. Ugone and Dr. Michael Freedman and will have no impact on the 

schedule, as the remaining deadlines in the Scheduling Order will be unaffected. (Eskandari 

Dec. ¶ 7.) 

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, BY AND 

BETWEEN THE PARTIES THROUGH THEIR RESPECTIVE COUNSEL, THAT,

subject to the Court’s approval, the parties may complete the two currently noticed expert 

depositions of Michael Freedman and Keith R. Ugone after the cutoff date and by April 26, 

2019.
