Case 5:09-cv-01733-EJD Document 63 Filed 01/27/10 Page 1 of 3
filed their otion to compel and to modify Scheduling Order on December 17, 2009 (the 

"Motion," Docket no. 50). Because the issues presented were primarily discovery disputes, the 

Motion was set for hearing before Magistrate Judge Trumbull. 

One prominent issue in the Motion is whether the Scheduling Order precludes the discovery 

that is the subject of the Motion or in the alternative whether the Scheduling Order should be 

modified to eliminate bifurcation altogether. After briefing closed on the Motion, the parties 

presented oral argument on the Motion to Judge Trumbull on January 19, 2010. She took the 

matter under advisement, but indicated that the request to lift bifurcation and modify the 

Scheduling Order should be left ultimately for Judge Ware. 

The parties would therefore like to address Plaintiffs' request for clarification or 

modification of the Scheduling Order to Judge Ware for decision. As an administrative 

convenience, and to distinguish between the overarching bifurcation issue, on one hand, and the 

other discovery disputes addressed by the Motion, on the other, the parties propose that Plaintiffs 

e-file a separate Motion for Clarification or Modification of the Scheduling Order confined to 

the issue of bifurcation for Judge Ware's consideration. The parties further request an opportunity 

for eBay to supplement its briefing on this discreet issue and for Plaintiffs to reply. 

Further, the Court's decision on whether to maintain or discard bifurcation may well 

impact ongoing discovery, and the discovery deadline is currently set for February 22, 2010. 

Accordingly, the parties also request an accelerated briefing schedule such that these matters will 

be fully briefed and ripe for consideration in connection with the upcoming Interim Management 

Conference, currently set for 10:00 a.m. on February 8, 2010. 

For the foregoing reasons, the parties respectfully request hat the Court adopt the following 

briefing schedule:

Scheduling Order, which may incorporate designated portions of the Motion pertaining to

If the Court determines that oral argument would be helpful, the parties request that they be 

permitted to present oral argument on February 8, 2010, at or before the scheduled Interim Case 

Management conference at 10:00 a.m. since out-of-state counsel for Plaintiffs will be travelling to 

California to attend the management conference.
