Joint Stipulation and [PROPOSED] Order Extending Time

Case No. C 08-02912 JSW MEJ

2

Pursuant to the Court's Order of April 12, 2010, the parties in the above-captioned action

have conferred in good faith regarding appointment of a Special Master for the purpose of

preparing a Report and Recommendation regarding the order of the patents, claims and terms to be

adjudicated in this matter.

The parties evaluated eight potential candidates for this task. The parties believed to have

essentially narrowed them down close to a final selection of one joint candidate to submit to the

Court. Due to additional facts that need further investigation and came to light today, more time is

needed to verify those facts. The parties are hopeful to be in position to make a final selection by

Tuesday April 27, 2010.

Counsel for the parties therefore hereby stipulate and agree, pursuant to Civil L.R. 6-2 and

subject to the Court's approval, that the time for reporting a final selection to the Court, be, and it

hereby is, extended from April 23, 2010 to and including APRIL 27, 2010, to permit the parties to

finalize their evaluation.

This is the first extension requested for this deadline. The extension is not anticipated to

materially impact the case schedule. This stipulation is made in good faith and without any intent

to cause delay or prejudice, but to allow the parties a reasonable opportunity to continue

investigations and permit appointment of a special master in this case. The parties to this

proceeding therefore request that the Honorable Court reset the above-mentioned deadline for good

cause shown herein.
