MOTOROLA, INC. 

Defendant. 

Case No. C 05-02381 JF 

DEFENDANT’S EX PARTE 

APPLICATION TO CONTINUE 

DEADLINE TO HOLD EARLY NEUTRAL

EVALUATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER

Defendant hereby requests that this Court continue the December 9, 2005 deadline to hold an 

Early Neutral Evaluation in this action for 60 days to February 7, 2006. Defendant filed a motion to 

dismiss in this action, which is currently set for hearing on January 13, 2006. Given that 

Defendant’s pending motion to dismiss may affect the scope of Plaintiff’s claims in this action, an 

Early Neutral Evaluation before the hearing on this motion would be premature. Plaintiff does not 

oppose a continuance of this deadline and has stipulated to the same.
