CASE NO. C05-02972 MMC 

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S 

UNOPPOSED MOTION PURSUANT TO 

CIVIL L.R. 6-3 TO SHORTEN TIME 

FOR THE COURT TO HEAR 

DEFENDANTS’ MOTION TO PHASE 

DISCOVERY AND FOR PROTECTIVE 

ORDER

Judge: Hon. Maxine M. Chesney 

 Plaintiff VNUS Medical Technologies, Inc. (“VNUS”) has moved pursuant to Civil Local 

Rule 6-3 for an order shortening the time for the Court to hear Defendants’ Motion to Phase 

Discovery and for Protective Order filed on April 3, 2006. Timely resolution of Defendants’ 

motion will afford clarity on the schedule for discovery in this action and on the Defendants’ 

obligations in regard to outstanding discovery requests, and it will enable the parties to proceed 

efficiently in litigating their claims. 

 The Court therefore grants VNUS’s unopposed motion to shorten time. Defendants’ 

Motion to Phase Discovery and for Protective Order will be heard on May 5, 2006 at 9:00 a.m.
