RESEARCH IN MOTION LIMITED, et al., 12 13 No. C-08-4990 EMC (Docket No. 1148) Defendants. ___________________________________/ 14 15 Plaintiff Mformation Technologies, Inc. (“MT”) has taken an appeal of the above-referenced 16 case to the Federal Circuit. On July 18, 2013, the Federal Circuit issued an order remanding the case 17 back to this Court for the limited purpose of deciding whether Mformation Software Technologies 18 LLC (“MST”) should be substituted in as the plaintiff-appellant. On July 29, 2013, MST filed a 19 motion to substitute with this Court and asked that it be briefed and heard on shortened time. 20 Defendants Research in Motion Ltd. and Research in Motion Corp. (collectively, “RIM”) have 21 opposed the request for shortened time. 22 While MST has not articulated particularly compelling reasons for shortened time 23 (particularly in light of its delay in filing the motion to substitute), the Court shall grant the request 24 for relief, largely out of deference to the Federal Circuit. The Court acknowledges that the Federal 25 Circuit order does not expressly require resolution of the motion by a specific date, but its order does 26 suggest a preference for such. 27 /// 28 /// 1 Accordingly, the Court hereby orders that MST’s motion to substitute shall be heard on 2 August 22, 2013, at 1:30 p.m. RIM’s opposition shall be filed by August 9, 2013. MST’s reply 3 shall be filed no later than noon on August 12, 2013. 4 This order disposes of Docket No. 1148. 5 6 IT IS SO ORDERED. 7 8 Dated: July 31, 2013 9 _________________________ EDWARD M. CHEN United States District Judge 11 For the Northern District of California United States District Court 10 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 2
