4835-5076-0238.4

“Plaintiffs Tasion Communications, Inc. (“Tasion”), International Power Systems, LLC 

(“Freeway Networks”), and Nationwide Computer Systems, Inc. (“Camplink”) (collectively, 

“Plaintiffs”), and defendant Ubiquiti Networks, Inc. (“Ubiquiti”) jointly submit the following 

Joint Statement re: ADR.

At the January 21, 2016 Case Management Conference, and in its First Amended Case 

Management and Pretrial Order for Jury Trial (Dkt. No. 226) issued thereafter, the Court ordered 

the parties to: (1) “meet and confer to determine if they prefer to contact Magistrate Judge 

Laporte for a further settlement conference or to contact this Court if other means of ADR is 

desired;” (2) file “[a] joint letter of the ADR preference;” and (3) confirm they have conveyed to 

their respective clients the Court’s sentiment re: settlement. (Dkt. No. 226 at 2:13-25.)

Counsel for the parties have met and conferred regarding their preference for ADR, and 

also have engaged in settlement discussions with one another. Counsel certify that as part of those 

discussions they have conveyed to their respective clients the Court’s sentiment that the parties 

should explore resolution of this matter through settlement. Settlement discussions thus far 

remain in the preliminary stages, with the parties having exchanged demands by each of the 

Plaintiffs and a more in-depth discussion as to Tasion. The parties are in the midst to exchanging 

phone calls regarding Tasion, and have not yet had a discussion regarding Freeway Networks nor 

Camplink. The thought was to resolve Tasion first and then discuss Freeway followed by

Camplink. These discussions have not yet occurred. The parties request a thirty day continuance 

to continue these discussions as well as the setting of an ADR date in the future with Judge 

Laporte should the case not resolved within the intervening 30 days. Wherefore, the parties 

request that an ADR date be set with Judge Laporte after 30 days from today’s date, at a time 

available on her calendar. Ubiquiti requests the physical attendance of a representative of each of 

the Plaintiffs who has authority to settle the matter at any ADR/settlement conference scheduled 

before Judge Laporte.

The parties jointly request a further ADR/settlement conference be scheduled for a date 

after 30 days from today’s date (or Judge Laporte’s earliest available date thereafter) and the 

discovery stay remain in effect until that time.
