JOINT STATUS REPORT FOLLOWING
CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE
AND ORDER THEREON

1

This case was recently assigned to the Hon. Maxine Chesney following the retirement of

2

Chief Judge James Ware (Dkt. No. 641). On November 9, 2012, the parties appeared before the

3

Court for a Case Management Conference. The Court notified the parties that a conflict was

4

discovered concerning defendant party Apple Inc. (“Apple”) and that the Court would be

5

precluded from presiding over the case so long as Apple remained a party (Dkt. No. 655). The

6

parties agreed to meet and confer regarding the Court’s conflict with Apple and file a joint status

7

report on November 16, 2012.

8
9

Apple and U.S. Ethernet Innovations, LLC (“USEI”) are continuing to meet and confer in
an effort to reach an agreement that would resolve the Court’s conflict. Apple and USEI

10

respectfully request an opportunity to continue their discussions and provide a further update to

11

the Court on November 20, 2012. This request is unopposed by all parties. The parties agree that

12

no further extensions should be granted past November 20, 2012.
