WHEREAS, after the Court entered the Scheduling Order, on February 5, 2019, ZTE filed a 

Second Amended Complaint (“SAC”), removing ZTE’s claims of invalidity of the patents-in-suit;

WHEREAS, on February 19, 2019, AGIS Software filed a Motion to Dismiss the SAC 

(“MTD”), with a hearing scheduled for May 9, 2019 (Dkt. 41); 

WHEREAS, on March 15, 2019, AGIS Software filed a Motion for Sanctions against ZTE, 

with a hearing scheduled for June 6, 2019 (Dkt. 48);

WHEREAS, on April 4, 2019, in order to allow sufficient time for the Parties to complete 

mediation, the Court granted the Parties’ request to extend the ADR deadline from April 17, 2019 to 

June 21, 2019 (Dkt. 56);

WHEREAS, on April 9, 2019, in accordance with the Court’s April 2, 2019 Order, ZTE 

resubmitted its opposition brief to the MTD (Dkt. 59); 

WHEREAS, also on April 9, 2019, the Parties confirmed with JAMS that they will engage

WHEREAS, AGIS Software’s reply brief in response to ZTE’s resubmitted opposition to 

the MTD is due to be filed on April 16, 2019; 

WHEREAS, considering the status of the case, the pendency of the motions (including a 

dispositive motion) and the upcoming mediation, the Parties have agreed that good cause exists for a 

3 week extension of all upcoming deadlines set forth in the Scheduling Order, as such extension will 

permit more efficient case management, serve the interests in judicial economy, and ensure the most 

efficient use of the Court’s and the Parties’ resources; 

WHEREAS, the Parties have not previously requested an extension of these deadlines, and 

the Parties do not believe the requested 3-week extension of the currently-scheduled deadlines will 

have a material impact on the schedule for the case;
