REQUEST FOR FURTHER 

CONTINUANCE OF INITIAL CASE 

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE, 

STIPULATED EXTENSION OF TIME TO 

RESPOND TO COMPLAINT AND 

[PROPOSED] ORDER 

Initial CMC: October 24, 2008 

Plaintiff Hewlett Packard Company (“HP”) submits this Request for Further Continuance 

of the Initial Case Management Conference scheduled for October 24, 2008. 

HP filed a complaint for patent infringement against Defendants Lexjet Corp. and LexJet 

Southern California, LLC on May 22, 2008. In its complaint, HP asserts that Defendants infringe 

two HP patents relating to ink-jet inks. 

In order to facilitate resolution of this matter, HP did not serve this complaint on 

Defendants until the last day for service, September 19, 2008. During this period, the parties 

were in active settlement negotiation. In order to further facilitate settlement negotiations, HP has 

also now stipulated to a 30-day extension of time for Defendants to respond to the complaint,

RQT. FOR CONTINUANCE OF INITIAL CMC 2 CASE NO. C 08-02596 JF 

such that a response would not be due until November 10, 2008. 

In light of the fact that the complaint has only recently been served, that Defendants’ 

response would not be due until November 10, and that settlement negotiations are on-going, HP 

requests a second continuance of the Initial Case Management Conference scheduled for October 

24, 2008, until at least December 5, 2008. 

An extension until December 5 would allow the parties to continue their settlement 

negotiations, would allow Defendants time to respond to the complaint and would allow the 

parties time to meet and confer pursuant to Rule 26(f).
