Pursuant to Civil L.R. 6-3, Plaintiffs and Counterclaim Defendants RealNetworks ("Real") hereby move before the Honorable Marilyn Hall Patel for an Order shortening the time for a hearing on their administrative motion for leave to amend their complaint filed concurrently herewith. This Motion is based on this memorandum, the memorandum filed in support of the moving parties motion for leave to amend, the Declaration of Colleen Bal ("Bal Decl.") and the attachments thereto, argument of counsel and any other matters properly before the Court. Real will face significant prejudice if their motion for leave to amend is not heard on a shortened time, and the defendants will face none. The preliminary injunction proceedings are scheduled to begin on January 27, 2009. If the New Platform is to be adjudicated as part of this process, as Real requests, it is obviously imperative that its motion to amend be heard on shortened time. Defendants are both capable of responding to the motion to amend on an expedited basis, and will suffer no prejudice in doing so. All defendants were have been on notice of Real's request to add the New Platform to the preliminary injunction proceedings since at least October 21, and all were provided with a copy of the proposed Amended Complaint on November 6. Bal Decl. ¶¶ 5, 9-10.
