Court ordered that this case be referred to a Magistrate Judge for a mandatory settlement 

conference to be held in August 2010 (D.I. 78); 

WHEREAS, on November 13, 2009, the Court referred this case to Chief Magistrate 

Judge Maria-Elena James for settlement. A mandatory settlement conference was scheduled to 

take place before Judge James on August 3, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. in Judge James’ Chambers, 

located at the Federal Building, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, 15th Floor, San Francisco, California 

94102 (D.I. 80); 

WHEREAS, on February 2, 2010 the Court issued an Order Denying Joint Motion to 

Consolidate (D.I. 95), wherein the Court required the parties to file a joint statement and proposed 

order specifying whether they preferred to have both Google Inc. v. Netlist, Inc. Case No. 08-

4144, and Netlist, Inc. v. Google Inc., Case No. 09-5718 (“the Cases”) referred to a Magistrate 

Judge for an early settlement conference or proceed before a private mediator; 

WHEREAS, Plaintiff Google Inc. (“Google”) and Defendant Netlist, Inc. (“Netlist”) met 

and conferred on the issue and filed a notice on March 2, 2010 indicating their election to have 

the Cases referred to Magistrate Judge Elizabeth D. Laporte for an early settlement conference 

(D.I. 107); 

WHEREAS, on March 8, 2010, the Court referred the Cases to Magistrate Judge Laporte 

for settlement. A settlement conference was scheduled to take place before Judge Laporte on 

April 30, 2010 at 9:30 a.m. (D.I. 107) and in fact the conference went forward on that date but 

the Cases did not settle; 

WHEREAS, in view of the Court’s referral of the Cases to Magistrate Judge Laporte for 

settlement, and in further view of the settlement conference that already took place before Judge 

Laporte on April 30, 2010, the parties agree that the mandatory settlement conference scheduled 

for August 3, 2010 before Chief Magistrate Judge James should be canceled; 

WHEREAS, the parties are not aware of the Court terminating the deadline for the August 

3, 2010 mandatory settlement conference before Chief Magistrate Judge James and seek such an 

Order from the Court; 

WHEREAS, the parties met and conferred on this issue; 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED THAT:
