No. C-08-4990 EMC
(Docket No. 1148)
Defendants.
___________________________________/

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.
