AMENDED STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER MODIFYING CASE MANAGEMENT SCHEDULE

Case No. C 04-4200 CW 2

Based on the Court's unavailability from June 2006 through August 2006, Sony 

Computer Entertainment America Inc. ("SCEA") and defendants Divineo Inc. and Frederic 

Legault (collectively, "Divineo") amend their earlier-filed Stipulation and Proposed Order 

Modifying Case Management Schedule, dated September 2, 2005.

On June 13, 2005, the Court continued the trial date in this case by three and one-half 

months – from July 31, 2006 to November 13, 2006 – and continued the Pretrial Conference 

by the same amount of time – from July 21, 2006 to November 3, 2006. See Docket No. 46. 

In addition, on July 18, 2005, the Court granted the parties' stipulated request to continue the 

mediation deadline by three months – from July 31, 2005 to October 31, 2005. See Docket 

No. 49. The Court has not modified any other deadlines.

Fact and expert discovery deadlines – as set forth in the original case management 

schedule – are approaching, yet trial does not commence for fourteen months based on the 

new trial date. In addition, several newly-added foreign defendants only recently have been 

served with the Amended Complaint; these foreign defendants have not yet made 

appearances in this case; and discovery has not commenced on these new defendants. The 

last day for the newly-added defendants to respond to the Amended Complaint occurs after

the last day to serve written discovery (September 7, 2005). Accordingly, SCEA and Divineo

request a five-month continuance of the deadlines for fact discovery and for filing dispositive 

motions. The parties seek a similar adjustment to the expert discovery deadlines.

IT IS, THEREFORE, STIPULATED by SCEA and Divineo, through their undersigned 

counsel and subject to the Court's approval, that the case management schedule be modified 

as follows:

PROPOSED CASE MANAGEMENT SCHEDULE

Mediation deadline: October 31, 2005

Fact discovery cutoff: October 7, 2005 ? March 10, 2006

Designation of initial experts: October 17, 2005 ? March 20, 2006

Initial expert disclosures: November 14, 2005 ? March 27, 2006

Rebuttal expert disclosures: January 20, 2006 ? April 21, 2006
