NO. C 03-02232 JF (RS)

BRIEFING ORDER 

On September 13, 2007, plaintiff Systems America submitted a letter brief requesting that

fact discovery be reopened and extended to October 31, 2007. On September 18, 2007 defendant

Rockwell Software filed a letter brief opposing the request. The matter was discussed during the

course of a previously-scheduled discovery motion hearing, on September 19, 2007. During that

discussion, third party defendant Versant Corporation orally joined in Rockwell’s opposition to the

request. In the letter briefs and during the discussion at the hearing, the parties disagreed as to

whether the presiding judge had directed that this issue be presented to and decided by the

undersigned.

Having conferred with the presiding judge, the Court is now prepared to address the merits of

Systems America’s request. Any party wishing to present further argument on the question of
