UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DUHN OIL TOOL, INC.

Plaintiff,

v.

COOPER CAMERON CORPORATION,

Defendants.

1:05-CV-01411 OWW LJO

ORDER ON JOINT REQUEST FOR

MODIFICATION OF THE SCHEDULING

CONFERENCE ORDER BY RESETTING

THE PRE-TRIAL CONFERENCE AND

TRIAL DATES 

Plaintiff Duhn Oil Tool, Inc. and Defendant Cooper Cameron

Corporation have jointly requested the Court to modify the

Scheduling Conference Order (Docket No. 14), and the Scheduling

Order for Expert Disclosures (Docket No. 25), by resetting all of

the deadlines in the Scheduling Conference Order following the

initial September 18, 2006 Markman Hearing Date, and the

deadlines for damages expert disclosures and reports in the

Scheduling Order for Expert Disclosures. The deadlines in the

Scheduling conference Order for which the parties seek new dates

are the discovery cut-off, non-dispositive motion filing

deadline, dispositive motion filing deadline, settlement

conference date, and the pre-trial conference and trial dates.

The basis for this request is that these deadlines

established by the Scheduling Conference Order dated March 15,

2006 (Docket No. 14) were set in relation to the issue of a

Markman (claim construction) Ruling by the Court, for which a

Markman Hearing was initially set for September 18, 2006. As the

parties discussed with the Court at the Markman Hearing, which

was held on October 11, 2006, the parties have jointly agreed to

extend all of the deadlines listed above as we await a Markman

Ruling from the Court. The Court expressed understanding and

approval of the parties’ agreed extension at the Markman Hearing,

and the parties have filed a Joint Motion to confirm for the

record that the parties are relieved of these deadlines as they

awaited the anticipated Markman Ruling from the Court.

In view of the foregoing, the parties jointly requested that

the discovery, motion, pre-trial conference and trial dates be

continued so as to allow the Court time to issue a Markman Ruling

and for the parties to then prepare for trial according to the

schedule as set by the Court. 

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the above listed deadlines set

forth in the Scheduling Conference Order dated March 15, 2006

(Docket No. 14), and the deadlines for damages expert disclosures

and reports in the Scheduling Order for Expert Disclosures

(Docket No. 25) are vacated. Upon this Court’s issuance of its

Markman Ruling, the parties shall confer and within 14 days

jointly file a proposal for new dates for these deadlines. The

Court will then issue an order setting new dates for these

deadlines, including discovery, motion, pre-trial conference and
