09-CV-02180-SBA (BZ) -2- Stipulated Request to Relieve EMC from 

the Case Management Order 

 Defendants Emerging Markets Communications, Inc., EMC Satcom 

Technologies, Inc. (collectively “EMC”) request, and plaintiff and counterdefendant, Applied Signal Technology, Inc. (“AST”), third-party defendant 

Comtech EF Data Corp. (“Comtech”), and defendants/counterclaimants Paradise 

Datacom, LLC and ViaSat, Inc. (“Paradise and ViaSat”) do not oppose, that the 

Court relieve EMC from the upcoming requirements and deadlines set forth in the 

Case Management Conference Scheduling Order (Docket #148) due to EMC’s 

agreement to settle with AST. 

 At the July 22, 2010 settlement conference before Magistrate Judge 

Zimmerman, EMC and AST and Comtech reached a settlement in principal. When 

finalized, this settlement will result in a full and final settlement of the dispute 

between EMC and AST and Comtech, including EMC’s dismissal from this 

litigation. The settlement between EMC and AST and Comtech does not affect the 

dispute between Paradise, ViaSat, AST, and Comtech. 

 EMC, AST, and Comtech wish to temporarily cease litigating their dispute in 

order to focus on finalizing their settlement agreement, and Paradise and ViaSat do 

not oppose such a request. Good cause exists because the requested relief will 

allow EMC to avoid the undue burden that would result from devoting time and 

money on preparing unnecessary claim construction papers, and the requested relief 

will not prejudice the other parties. 

 As to the parties other than EMC, this stipulation will not alter the Case 

Management Conference Schedule entered by the Court on August 2, 2010 (Docket 

#148). 

 Accordingly, it is hereby stipulated that EMC be relieved from the upcoming 

requirements set forth in the Case Management Conference Schedule for a period 

of five weeks, ending September 3, 2010. It is further stipulated that all parties be 

further relieved from providing responses to outstanding discovery obligations or 

any other scheduled exchange of information or filings as between EMC and AST
