Plaintiff Immersion Corporation (“Immersion”) and Defendant Electro Source, LLC 

(“Electro Source”), hereby stipulate as follows: 

WHEREAS, on February 3, 2005, the Court entered a Case Management Order (docket 

entry 19) setting certain pretrial dates, including a schedule for the disclosure of expert reports in 

October and November 2005, the completion of expert discovery on December 16, 2005, and the 

Claim Construction Hearing and hearing on dispositive motions on February 17, 2006.

WHEREAS, the Court ordered on May 10, 2005 (docket entry 30) that the parties’ Patent 

Local Rule 4-3 Joint Claim Construction and Prehearing Statement (“Joint Claim Construction 

Statement”) must be filed by Friday, July 29, 2005.

WHEREAS, the Court also ordered on May 10, 2005 that claim construction discovery 

must be completed by August 26, 2005, four weeks after the due date for the Joint Claim 

Construction Statement.

WHEREAS, on June 15, 2005, the Court sua sponte (docket entry 47) rescheduled the 

dates for the pretrial conference and trial to September 29, 2006 and October 10, 2006, 

respectively, to accommodate the Court's calendar.

WHEREAS, the Court, pursuant to an August 10, 2005 order (docket entry 66), 

rescheduled the date for filing Joint Claim Construction Statement to September 9, 2005 and 

extended the date for Claim Construction Discovery Cutoff to be the same date for fact discovery 

cutoff in the litigation.

WHEREAS, Immersion has been involved in extensive discovery matters in the Immersion 

v. Sony Computer Entertainment matter, in which Electro Source has participated. These 

discovery matters relate to Sony’s Rule 60(b) motion, currently pending before this Court. These 

discovery matters have occupied a substantial amount of the Immersion and Electro Source 

attorneys’ time. 

WHEREAS, as a result of the extensive discovery in the Immersion v. Sony Computer 

Entertainment matter, the parties have been unable to conduct the depositions of fact witnesses 

who were properly subpoenaed and noticed as of the fact discovery cutoff. The parties have
