STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER 

EXTENDING STAY OF CASES UNTIL 

AUGUST 4, 2010 

On April 6, 2010, NetApp, Inc. and Sun Microsystems, Inc. stipulated to, and the Court 

ordered, a stay of all three of the currently pending actions between the parties (3:07-CV-05488-

EDL, 3:07-CV-06053-EDL, and 3:08-CV-01641-EDL) until June 4, 2010. (-6053 action, Dkt. # 

683; -5488 action, Dkt.# 362; -1641 action, Dkt. # 169). The parties hereby further stipulate, 

subject to the Court’s approval, to further extend the stay of all three actions until August 4, 

2010, to permit the parties to continue to explore the possibility of an extra-judicial resolution of 

their disputes. The June 15 case management conference is vacated, subject to Court approval.

The parties agree that neither side will use this stay to later argue lack of diligence on the part of 

the other party.

By August 5, 2010, the parties shall jointly report to the Court on the status of their 

discussions, the litigation, and next steps. The parties request that the Court now schedule an 

omnibus case management conference in all three cases on Tuesday, August 10, 2010 at 10 a.m., 

or on the next date consistent with the Court’s schedule.
