SUPPORTING DECLARATION OF ROBERT H. FISCHER
2
3
I, ROBERT H. FISCHER, declare as follows:
1. I am a partner in the firm Fitzpatrick, Cella, Harper & Scinto, counsel for Defendant
4
5
International Business Machines Corporation (“IBM”). I submit this declaration in support of the
6
parties' Stipulation Regarding Case Schedule. I make this declaration of my own personal knowledge
7
and will competently testify thereto if called upon to do so.
8
2. On April 15, 2011, the Court entered a Stipulated Order [Dkt. 60], which sets forth the
9
claim construction briefing schedule for this action. The Stipulated Order also sets the technology
10
tutorial for September 7, 2011, at 1:30 p.m. and the Markman Hearing for September 21, 2011, at 1:30
11
p.m.
12
3. The parties, both the respective corporate representatives and outside counsel, have been
13
actively discussing resolution of this case, and have reached a settlement in principle. Accordingly,
14
the parties have met and conferred and agree that continuing the case schedule for two weeks will
15
facilitate preparation of the necessary settlement papers precedent to resolution of this action.
16
4. The Court previously granted the Stipulated Order to permit settlement discussions.
17
Otherwise, the only time modification in this case was to change the Case Management Conference
18
from December 3, 2010, to January 14, 2011, to coincide with the hearing on Rambus's motion to
19
dismiss in related case, International Business Machines Corp. v. Rambus Inc., No. C 10-04017 JSW.
20
See Dkt. 48.
21
22
5. The requested modification in the current case schedule will not affect any other pre-trial
deadlines, as the pre-trial schedule has not yet been entered in this case.
