The above named Parties also have consulted with Edward Ord, counsel for

OPTECH LIMITED, and CHI-HSIU HSIN (aka CHARLES HSIN). Despite the passage

of three weeks since the Court ordered the Parties to submit a Stipulation and proposed

Order concerning the new discovery dates, and as further set forth in the attached

Declaration of Nathan E. Clukey, neither Mr. Ord nor his clients have consented to the

discovery dates proposed herein.

I. RECITALS

By way of a Case Management and Pretrial Order, dated January 4, 2008, this

Court set the following deadlines and trial date: (a) expert disclosure date of August 20,

2008; (b) non-expert discovery cut-off of September 3, 2008; (c) expert discovery cut-off

of October 1, 2008; and (d) deadline to hear dispositive motions of November 19, 2008;

and (e) trial date of March 23, 2009.

On September 4, 2008, Defendants Optech Limited and Chi-Hsiu Hsin filed an

Administrative Motion to Continue the Trial Date and All Associated Deadlines, which

sought a continuance of the trial date and related pre-trial deadlines. On September 5,

2008, Defendant Robert J. Nagy also filed an Administrative Motion to Continue the

Trial Date and All Associated Deadlines, which sought a continuance of the trial date and

related pre-trial deadlines. 

On September 10, 2008, at a hearing on other motions pending before the Court,

the Court addressed the two administrative motions before it and ordered as follows: that

the trial date shall be continued to October 19, 2009; that the last day for hearing of any

dispositive motion shall be continued to June 24, 2009; that the pre-trial conference shall

be continued to September 24, 2009; and that the parties shall meet and confer to reach a

stipulation regarding other pre-trial deadlines and then file a stipulation reflecting the
