STIPULATED REQUEST AND [PROPOSED]

ORDER REGARDING SETTLEMENT 

CONFERENCE 1 Case No. C 09-01550 JSW (JCS)

WHEREFORE, the Court’s November 30, 2009 Order entering the parties’ stipulation 

scheduled the Settlement Conference in this case for February 16, 2010 (D.I. 85); 

WHEREFORE, the Court requested that the Settlement Conference be reset for another 

date due to scheduling considerations and entered a January 22, 2010 Order (D.I. 90) 

rescheduling the Settlement Conference for March 23, 2010, with Settlement Conference 

Statements to be submitted by March 16, 2010; 

WHEREFORE, a related case involving the same patent, Cisco and TS, and eight other 

parties was transferred to this district from the District of Delaware; and, based on TS’s intent to 

consolidate the transferred case with this case and to add five additional parties, on February 4, 

2010, TS filed its Third Party Complaint (D.I. 92), naming thirteen defendants; 

WHEREFORE, on February 4, 2010, TS also filed its Answer to Complaint For 

Declaratory Judgment And Counterclaim (“TS’s Counterclaim”) (D.I. 93); 

WHEREFORE, the Court’s December 10, 2009 Order (D.I. 89) entering the parties’ 

subsequent stipulation directed that the Case Management Conference in this case be rescheduled 

and that the parties will propose a new date for the Case Management Conference once the parties 

have discussed the configuration of the case and counsel for all parties have appeared and 

responded to pleadings; 

WHEREFORE, Cisco Systems, Inc. and TS stipulated on March 1, 2010 (D.I. 109) that 

Cisco’s response to TS’s Counterclaim shall be due 21 days after service of TS’s Third Party 

Complaint and summons on the last-served defendant named in TS’s Third Party Complaint; and 

WHEREFORE parties believe that it may be most convenient and productive for the 

Court and for the parties to extend the deadline for the settlement process until after the pleadings 

have been answered, a Case Management Conference has been conducted, and the parties have 

exchanged infringement and invalidity contentions under the Patent Local Rules. 

NOW THEREFORE IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED BETWEEN THE PARTIES that, 

subject to the Court's approval, the Settlement Conference shall be taken off calendar and the 

parties will contact Chambers to propose dates amenable to the Court for the Settlement 

Conference and submission of Settlement Conference Statements in this case after the Case
