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

2 have conferred in good faith regarding appointment of a Special Master for the purpose of 3 preparing a Report and Recommendation regarding the order of the patents, claims and terms to be 4 adjudicated in this matter. 5 The parties evaluated eight potential candidates for this task. The parties believed to have

6 essentially narrowed them down close to a final selection of one joint candidate to submit to the 7 Court. Due to additional facts that need further investigation and came to light today, more time is 8 needed to verify those facts and coordinate joint appointment with the administratively related case 9 Nuance Communications, Inc. v. Abbyy USA Software House, Inc., et al. (No. C 08-2912). The 10 parties are hopeful to be in position to make a final selection by Tuesday April 27, 2010. 11 Counsel for the parties therefore hereby stipulate and agree, pursuant to Civil L.R. 6-2 and

12 subject to the Court's approval, that the time for reporting a final selection to the Court, be, and it 13 hereby is, extended from April 23, 2010 to and including APRIL 27, 2010, to permit the parties to 14 finalize their evaluation. 15 This is the first extension requested for this deadline. The extension is not anticipated to

16 materially impact the case schedule. This stipulation is made in good faith and without any intent 17 to cause delay or prejudice, but to allow the parties a reasonable opportunity to continue 18 investigations and permit appointment of a special master in this case. The parties to this 19 proceeding therefore request that the Honorable Court reset the above-mentioned deadline for good 20 cause shown herein. 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 2
