Pursuant to Civil Local Rules 6-1, 6-2, and 7-12 Plaintiff Deborah A. Fieser (“Plaintiff”) 

and Defendants W. Denman Van Ness, William K. Bowes, Jr., Peter Barton Hutt, Joseph M. 

Limber, Kelvin M. Neu, Patrick J. Scannon, John Varian, Timothy P. Walbert, Paul D. Rubin, 

Jack L. Wyszomierski, and Nominal Defendant XOMA Corporation (collectively,

currently set in this action for February 16, 2016 to March 22, 2016, and to adjust accordingly 

the related deadlines set forth therein. 

WHEREAS, Joseph Markette filed a securities class action lawsuit against XOMA, John

November 16, 2015 (Dkt. No. 1) (“Fieser Complaint”); 

WHEREAS, the Defendants’ responses to the Fieser Complaint are due by January 19, 

2016; 

WHEREAS, in an effort to avoid duplication of effort and maximize judicial economy, 

the parties have been discussing relating the action to the Markette action as well as other 

procedures, but have not yet reached an agreement; 

WHEREAS, in order to conserve party and Court resources, Plaintiff and Defendants 

agree to extend Defendants’ deadline to respond to the Fieser Complaint to February 19, 2016 to 

provide the parties with additional time to reach agreement regarding relation; 

WHEREAS Plaintiff and Defendants further agree that the initial Case Management 

Conference should be rescheduled for March 22, 2016 and that all associated deadlines 

(including ADR deadlines) be rescheduled accordingly;
