JOINT STIPULATION TO MODIFY DEADLINES 1 CASE NO. 3:16-CV-07396-EMC

Plaintiff Regents of the University of California’s (“Plaintiff”) and Defendants Roger 

Jinteh Arrigo Chen (“Chen”) and Genia Technologies, Inc. (“Genia,” and, together with Chen, 

“Defendants”) (collectively, Plaintiff and Defendants are referred to as the “Parties”), have metand-conferred and jointly stipulate and agree to move this Honorable Court to modify certain of 

the deadlines in the Court’s Case Management and Pretrial Order for Jury Trial in this case (Dkt. 

75). The modifications to the deadlines in the Court’s order are identified below, and the 

Proposed Order granting these modifications is attached hereto. The Trial Date (January 14, 

2019) and Final Pretrial Conference date (December 18, 2018) remain unchanged, although the 

Parties recognize that the requested modification of the Dispositive Motions hearing date may 

cause the Court to adjust those dates. 

Case Event Current Deadline Revised Deadline 

Trial Date January 14, 2019 (unchanged) 

Final Pretrial Conference December 18, 2018 (unchanged) 

Dispositive Motions (last day to be heard) October 4, 2018

Court)

Expert Discovery Cutoff August 23, 2018 September 24, 2018

Further Status Conference April 24, 2018 May 24, 2018 (or 

alternate date in late 

May 2018 convenient 

for the Court) 

During the last several months, the Parties have completed a substantial portion of the 

document and written discovery in this case. However, the Parties believe that further settlement 

discussions will be beneficial before the Parties expend significant resources on depositions and 

expert discovery. The Parties have had several productive settlement discussions and have

agreed to employ a mediator at this stage to further assist in exploring a settlement. The Parties 

have also agreed to suspend further discovery activity and deadlines until May 11, 2018 

(including any deadlines for briefing relating to any motions pending before the Court) to allow 

time to complete that mediation. Thus, the Parties believe that they would benefit from having 

additional time to continue exploring settlement. Accordingly, this stipulated modification is not 

made for purposes of delay, but so that the Parties can further explore a potential resolution of 

this dispute. The Parties respectfully request that the Court sign the Proposed Order attached 

hereto. 

SO STIPULATED.
