Case 5:04-cv-04072-JW Document 70 Filed 10/27/06 Page 1 of 4
Pursuant to Civil Local Rules 6- , 6- , 7- 11 and 7- , plaintiffs Boston Scientific

Corporation and Target Therapeutics, Inc. (collectively "Boston Scientific ) and defendant

Micrus Corporation ("Micrus ) hereby request an order modifying the case schedule set by the

Court' s August 9, 2006 Scheduling Order. The proposed schedule would extend the current

schedule for claim construction discovery and exchanges by approximately one-and-a-half

months to allow for discovery concerning U.S. Patent 5 895 385 , which is still in reexamination

and reissue proceedings. Discovery with respect to the ' 385 patent was only recently started in

order to streamline the case and potentially avoid the need for multiple claim construction

hearings.
