FURTHER STIPULATION RE CMC DATE & RELATED DATES, & [PROPOSED] ORDER 

CASE NO. C 03-4375 JW (RS) 

389433.01 

Plaintiff Cadence Design Systems, Inc., Defendants Xiangfeng “Sean” Chen, Chun Xia, 

and Vasta Technologies move the Court to continue the case-management conference presently 

scheduled for February 26, 2007, as well as the associated obligations to serve initial disclosures 

and file and serve a case-management-conference statement, Rule 26(f) report, and Joint ADR 

Certification and Stipulation. The parties are negotiating the final terms of settlement, and need 

additional time to finish. Thus, the parties request that the Court move the case-management 

conference to April 30, 2007. This modification would have no discernable effect on the case 

schedule. The prior time modifications in this case are: (1) the parties’ stipulation, entered by the 

Court, to extend the Defendants’ time to respond to the Complaint; (2) the parties’ stipulation, 

entered by the Court, postponing the preliminary-injunction briefing schedule seventy days to 

accommodate discovery issues; (3) the parties’ stipulation, entered by the Court, resetting the 

case-management-conference date; (4) the parties’ stipulation, not entered by the Court, further 

postponing the preliminary-injunction briefing schedule in light of the parties’ negotiation of the 

stipulation subsequently filed and entered by the Court; and (5) the parties’ thirteen further 

stipulations, entered by the Court, resetting the case-management-conference date. 

The parties therefore stipulate and agree, as required by Local Rules 6-2, 7-11, and 16-

2(e), that the Court should modify its Order Setting Initial Case Management Conference as 

follows: 

1. The case-management-conference shall occur in Courtroom #8 at 10:00 A.M. on 

April 30, 2007. 

2. The parties’ last day to complete initial disclosures or state objections to such 

disclosures in their Rule 26(f) report, and to file and serve their case-management 

statement and Rule 26(f) report shall be April 16, 2007. 

3. The parties’ last day to file their Joint ADR Certification with Stipulation to ADR 

process or Notice of Need for ADR Phone Conference shall be April 16, 2007.
