These dates may be changed only by leave of the Court. Any deadline previously set and 

not addressed by this order remains unchanged. This order resolves ECF Nos. 4598 and 4602. 

The Court has set these dates in part to accommodate the concerns faced by the Thomson 

and TDA Defendants, whose in-house counsel is currently undergoing treatment for a serious 

medical condition. See ECF No. 4598. While those defendants believe, and the Court hopes, that 

counsel’s condition will allow her to assist in the preparations for a January 2017 trial, it is 

possible that her condition or other circumstances will make this impossible. Accordingly, 

Thomson is ordered to begin preparation now to replace its in-house counsel should she be unable 

to participate in the litigation on the dates set forth above.2 The Court does not anticipate granting 

 

1 Any party wishing to file a trial brief must first obtain leave of Court.

2 As Thomson noted in its motion to continue, it prepared its defense in the case in less than 8 

months. ECF No. 4598 at 6-7.
