MONOLITHIC POWER SYSTEMS, INC.,

Plaintiff,

 v.

 02 MICRO INTERNATIONAL LIMITED,

Defendant. /

No. C-04-02000 CW (EDL)

ORDER CONTINUING HEARING ON

DEFENDANT’S MOTION TO STRIKE

PLAINTIFF’S EXPERT REPORTS

On May 23, 2006, Defendant filed a motion to strike Plaintiff’s expert reports. On May 26,

2006, Judge Wilken referred the motion to strike to this Court, which set the hearing for June 27,

2006. On June 8, 2006, the hearing date was continued to August 1, 2006. 

Also on May 23, 2006, Plaintiff filed a Motion to Amend the Answers and Preliminary

Invalidity Contentions, which was taken under submission on May 26, 2006, and briefing was

complete on June 23, 2006. The outcome of the motion to strike depends at least in part on the

outcome of the motion to amend, and Judge Wilken has not yet ruled on the motion to amend. 

Therefore, the Court vacates the hearing on the motion to strike. The parties shall inform the Court

no later than three court days after Judge Wilken issues an order on the motion to amend. The Court

will resolve the motion to strike at that time and will schedule a hearing if necessary. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: July 20, 2006
