Attorney for Plaintiff Gregory Bender 

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

SAN JOSE DIVISION 

Gregory Bender,

Plaintiff,

v.

International Business Machines Corporation,

Defendant.

Case No. C 09-01249 RMW (PVT) 

STIPULATION AND ORDER

EXTENDING DEADLINE FOR

IBM TO FILE ITS DISCOVERY 

MOTION RELATED TO BENDER’S 

AMENDED INFRINGEMENT

Pursuant to Civil L.R. 6-2, Defendant International Business Machines Corporation

jointly request that the Court change the deadline for Defendant to file its discovery motion 

challenging Bender’s revised infringement contentions, currently scheduled for Wednesday, 

January 27, 2010, to Tuesday, February 2, 2010.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the November 13, 2009, Order Granting in Part Defendant’s 

Motion to Compel, this Court ordered Plaintiff to submit revised infringement contentions no

contentions. (See D.I. 37.)

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER EXTENDING 

FILING DEADLINE FOR IBM’S DISCOVERY MOTION 

CASE NO. C 09-01249 RMW (PVT)

WHEREAS, on stipulated requests from the parties, the Court extended the deadline for 

Defendant to file its discovery motion twice, resulting in a deadline of Wednesday, January 27, 

2010. (See D.I. 39 and D.I. 44.) 

WHEREAS, after the second stipulated request extending the deadline for the discovery 

motion was filed on January 12, 2010, the referral of all discovery matters in this case to Judge 

Richard Seeborg was withdrawn and discovery matters were instead referred to Magistrate Judge 

Patricia Trumbull on January 14, 2010. (Compare D.I. 41 with D.I. 42.)

WHEREAS, Magistrate Judge Trumbull holds civil law and motion hearings on Tuesdays, 

unlike Judge Seeborg, who holds civil law and motion hearings on Wednesdays. 

WHEREAS, the parties believe that in the interests of efficiency, the deadline for 

Defendant to file its discovery motion challenging Bender’s revised infringement contentions 

should be moved from Wednesday, January 27, 2010, to Tuesday, February 2, 2010. 

WHEREAS, the following time modifications have previously occurred in this case:

x On October 29, 2009, the Court temporarily relieved Defendant of its obligations 

to produce technical information under the Federal Rules and its obligations to 

serve its Patent L.R. 3-3 and 3-4 disclosures pending the outcome of a further 

discovery motion by Defendant of Plaintiff’s revised infringement contentions. 

(D.I. 30.) The Court has affirmatively left this stay in place since that time. (See

D.I. 37, D.I. 39, and 44.) 

x On stipulated requests from the parties, the Court extended the deadline for 

Defendant to file its discovery motion pursuant to the Court’s Order of November 

13, 2009 twice, resulting in a deadline of Wednesday, January 27, 2010. (See D.I. 

39 and D.I. 44.) 

x On January 14, 2010, on stipulated request from the parties, the Court rescheduled 

the parties’ Further Case Management from January 15, 2010 to February 26, 2010.

(See D.I. 43.)

WHEREAS, the requested time modification would have no effect on the schedule for the 

case or for the remainder of the briefing for the discovery because under Civil L.R. 7-2, the

THE PARTIES HEREBY STIPULATE THAT:

infringement contentions, currently scheduled for Wednesday, January 27, 2010, shall be moved

2. The parties further stipulate that the Court’s order granting Defendant temporary relief 

from its discovery obligations shall remain in place until the dispute is resolved.
