SYNOPSYS, INC.,

Plaintiff,

v.

ATOPTECH, INC,

Defendant.

Case No. 13-cv-02965-MMC (DMR)

ORDER REQUESTING RESPONSE 

FROM SYNOPSYS

Re: Dkt. Nos. 744, 753

On May 24, 2016, the Honorable Maxine M. Chesney referred Plaintiff Synopsys, Inc.’s 

Bench Trial Motion in Limine No. 1 and Motion for Protective Order [Docket No. 744] regarding 

the deposition of Mr. Alpesh Kothari to the undersigned. [Docket No. 749.] 

On June 6, 2016, ATopTech, Inc. filed a response stating that ATopTech will withdraw the 

notice of Kothari’s deposition and will not seek to call him as a witness at the July 25, 2016 Bench 

Trial. [Docket No. 753 at 2, 5.] In light of ATopTech’s response to Synopsys’s Bench Trial 

Motion in Limine No. 1 and Motion for Protective Order, it appears that the two motions are 

moot. By June 10, 2016, Synopsys shall either withdraw its motions, or shall submit a one 

paragraph letter explaining why the motions are not moot and why the June 30, 2016 hearing 

should go forward. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 7, 2016
