Trial conflicts come and trial conflicts go. The new trial will be 5 short and focused, and should not require months of advance preparation. The best approach here 6 is what the Court has already ordered—hold the pretrial conference on May 24, 2012 so that this 7 case is ready for trial, then start the trial on June 18 if existing, identified trial conflicts have 8 resolved or trail the case if they have not. Experienced trial counsel can manage this, and Oracle 9 should not be heard to complain that its day in court has come too soon. 10 Dated: March 5, 2012 JONES DAY By: /s/ Tharan Gregory Lanier Tharan Gregory Lanier 11 12 Counsel for Defendants SAP AG, SAP AMERICA, INC., and TOMORROWNOW, INC. 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 SVI-104839v1 -2- DEFS.’ STATEMENT RE ORACLE’S 3/4/12 LETTER Case No. 07-CV-1658 PJH (EDL)
