Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 6-2, Saudi Systems Corporation (“Saudi Systems”) and 

Oracle Corporation (“Oracle”) stipulate and agree as follows: 

1. Saudi Systems filed its Complaint in Saudi Systems Corporation v. Oracle 

Corporation, Case No. C06 7932 CW. Oracle then responded by moving to dismiss the entire 

Complaint on the grounds that it barred by res judicata and collateral estoppel arising out of the 

parties’ prior arbitration. Oracle also filed a Petition in Oracle Corporation v. Saudi Systems 

Corporation, Case No. C07 0419 CW, and asked this Court to confirm the arbitration award. 

Saudi Systems has opposed Oracle’s motion and filed a motion to dismiss Oracle’s Petition. 

Pursuant to the Court’s February 20, 2007 Order, the Court consolidated both the briefing and 

the hearing on these motions. 

2. The hearing on the parties’ respective motions to dismiss is currently set for 

10:00 a.m. on Friday, April 27, 2007, but Andrew Petrie, lead counsel for Saudi Systems, now 

has a scheduling conflict such that he is unable to attend the hearing on that date. Counsel for 

both parties are able to attend a hearing on Friday, May 18, 2007, and on that basis have agreed 

jointly to ask this Court to reschedule the hearing. 

3. Both parties wish to allow each other an additional week to file their respective 

remaining briefs. 

4. Saudi Systems and Oracle therefore respectfully request that: 

(a) The Court move the April 27 hearing to May 18 at 10:00 a.m.; 

(b) The Court move Oracle’s deadline to file and serve its consolidated reply 

in support of its motion to dismiss the Complaint and its opposition to 

Saudi System’s motion to dismiss the Petition from April 6, 2007 to 

April 13, 2007; and 

(c) The Court move Saudi System’s deadline to file and serve its reply in 

support of its motion to dismiss the Petition from April 13, 2007 to 

April 20, 2007. 

5. In view of the potentially-case dispositive nature of the parties’ cross-motions to 

dismiss, and the threshold question they address of the effect of the parties’ prior arbitration, the

parties request additional relief regarding the case management conference, the conference and 

report Fed. R. Civ. P. 26 requires, and the deadlines the ADR Local Rules set. 

6. The parties previously requested, and the Court ordered, that the date for 

exchange of their initial disclosures be continued until 30 days after service of the rulings on the 

parties’ motions (see Court Feb. 20, 2007 Order ¶ 8). 

7. The Case Management Statements (and accompanying Rule 26(f) Reports) in 

these related cases are currently due on April 6. Accordingly, counsel for the parties 

preliminarily met and conferred as Rule 26(f) requires. In so doing, they recognized and agreed 

that further discussion of a discovery plan and other case calendaring dates would be 

hypothetical and premature for the same reasons that they agreed to postpone exchange of initial 

disclosures. Counsel for the parties also agreed that any discussion of ADR and other settlement 

possibilities is not realistic until after the Court rules on the parties’ motions, which ruling may 

end either or both actions and moot the need for ADR or settlement, or, at a minimum, influence 

the parties’ settlement positions. 

8. In view of the foregoing, and the detailed statements of the parties’ positions in 

their respective briefing, Saudi Systems and Oracle respectfully request that the Court: 

 (a) Reschedule the case management conference set for April 27, 2007 to 

follow the Court’s rulings on the parties’ cross-motions to dismiss; 

 (b) Continue the parties’ deadline to meet and confer regarding the subjects of 

the Case Management Statement, initial disclosures, early settlement, ADR process 

selection, and discovery plan until fourteen days before the date of the re-scheduled case 

management conference; 

 (c) Continue the parties’ deadline to file Joint ADR Certifications with 

Stipulation to ADR Process or Notice of Need for ADR Phone Conference until fourteen 

days before the date of the re-scheduled case management conference; and 

 (d) Continue the parties’ deadline to submit Case Management Statements 

and to file and serve their Rule 26(f) reports until seven calendar days before the date of 

the re-scheduled case management conference.
