WHEREAS, this matter has been referred to the Honorable Bernard Zimmerman for all 

discovery, and 

WHEREAS, the Parties proposed a discovery plan in their Joint Case Management 

Statement, see Docket no. 19, and 

WHEREAS, the Court did not address the Parties’ discovery plan in its Scheduling Order, 

see Docket no. 22, 

THEREFORE, THE PARTIES HEREBY NOTIFY THE COURT that they request that 

the Honorable Bernard Zimmerman issue an order adopting the stipulated Discovery Plan 

described below: 

DISCOVERY PLAN 

Depositions: Each party will be limited to 70 total hours for all fact witnesses, excluding 

experts and non-party witnesses. Depositions of expert witnesses and persons designated by a 

party under Federal Rule 30(b)(6) will be limited to a reasonable time, notwithstanding the time 

limit in Federal Rule 30(d). A reasonable time to complete depositions of expert witnesses and 

persons designated by a party under Federal Rule 30(b)(6) shall be presumed to be 14 hours per 

person. Depositions of individuals other than expert witnesses and persons designated by a party 

under Federal Rule 30(b)(6) will be limited to 7 hours per person, as provided in Federal Rule 

30(d). Any party may seek additional time for a particular deposition based on a good faith 

showing that such additional time is necessary, reasonable and appropriate. 

Each party shall be permitted to depose any witness submitting a declaration in connection 

with claim construction, provided that such depositions are limited to the subject matter of the 

declaration. Notwithstanding Patent L.R. 4-4, M:Metrics shall be permitted to depose any expert 

witness submitting a declaration contemporaneously with Telephia’s opening claim construction 

brief not more than seven days after the brief is filed, and Telephia shall be permitted to depose 

any expert witness submitting a declaration contemporaneously with M:Metrics’ responsive claim

construction brief not more than four days after the brief is filed. Any claim construction 

deposition pursuant to this paragraph shall be limited to 7 hours, but it shall not count against a 

party’s total time limit or the party’s time limit as to the witness. 

Expert Discovery: A testifying expert’s draft reports, notes, outlines, and any other 

writings leading up to his or her final report(s) in this case are exempt from discovery. In 

addition, all communications with, and all materials generated by, a testifying expert with respect 

to his or her work on this case are exempt from discovery unless relied upon by the expert in 

forming his opinions. The expert shall produce his or her final report(s) and all materials and/or 

communications on which he or she actually relies in forming his or her opinion.
