Case No.: C05-0710 JSW (PVT)

INTERIM ORDER RE

DEFENDANT’S MOTION TO

COMPEL

On September 19, 2006, Defendant Starent Networks, Corp. (“Starent”) filed a motion to

compel. Plaintiff UTStarcom, Inc. (“UTStarcom”) opposed the motion. Having reviewed the

papers submitted by the parties, the court finds it appropriate to issue this interim order without

oral argument. Based on the moving, opposition and reply papers filed,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Starent’s motion is GRANTED as to the number of

interrogatories. In the parties’ Joint Case Management Conference Statement (filed herein at

docket no. 43) UTStarcom agreed to a modification of the discovery limitations such that each

side may propound 40 interrogatories. UTStarcom has not shown that, reasonably read, Starent’s

1 Even by UTStarcom’s strained count, the total would only be 48, and given the

nature and complexity of this case, relief to allow this number of interrogatories would be

warranted.

twelve interrogatories should count as more than 40 interrogatories.1

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, before propounding any further interrogatories, Starent

shall meet and confer with UTStarcom to reach agreement as to the number of remaining

interrogatories Starent is allowed. If the parties cannot reach agreement Starent shall move for an

order setting the number of interrogatories Starent has left. Any such motion may be brought on

one week’s notice, with the opposition due two court days before the hearing, and no reply.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the hearing remains on calendar for 10:00 a.m. with

regard to the parties’ dispute over document request nos. 32 and 33.

Dated: 10/23/06
