ALEKSANDR L. YUFA,

Plaintiff,

v.

LIGHTHOUSE WORLDWIDE 

SOLUTIONS INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 09-cv-00968-MEJ 

ORDER SETTING CASE 

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE FOR 

JANUARY 23, 2014

Re: Dkt. Nos. 106, 108

On December 2, 2013, the Court denied Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment 

without prejudice and set deadlines for Plaintiff to: (1) file amended infringement contentions that 

conform to Patent Local Rule 3-1; and (2) produce any documents required under Patent Local 

Rule 3-2 that he did not previously produce by January 13, 2014. Dkt. No. 104 at 2. 

On December 13, 2013, Plaintiff filed his Supplemental Infringement Contentions. Dkt. 

No. 105. Concurrently, Plaintiff filed an ex parte discovery letter wherein he argues that 

Defendant has failed to produce documents and has failed to adequately respond to discovery 

requests. Dkt. No. 106. Because the discovery letter did not comply with the meet and confer 

requirement set forth in the Court's standing order regarding discovery disputes, the Court issued 

an order requiring the parties to appear in court on January 16, 2014, to meet and confer regarding 

the discovery dispute. Dkt. No. 107. 

Thereafter, on January 7, 2014, Defendant filed a letter arguing that except for minor 

changes, Plaintiff's Supplemental Infringement Contentions are nearly identical to those he 

previously filed, and thus still fail to conform to the Patent Local Rules. Dkt. No. 108. In 

particular, Defendant contends that while Plaintiff has identified 36 product model numbers he 

alleges infringe the '983 Patent, he fails to specifically identify how those products infringe. Id. at
