SUPPORTING DECLARATION OF TINA E. HULSE

Filed05/27/11 Page5 of 6
I, TINA E. HULSE, declare as follows:
3
1. I am an associate at Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner, L.L.P., counsel
4
for Plaintiff Rambus Inc. (“Rambus”). I submit this declaration in support of the parties’ Stipulation
5
Regarding Case Schedule. I make this declaration of my own personal knowledge and will
6
competently testify thereto if called upon to do so.
7
2. On April 15, 2011, and May 12, 2011, the Court entered Stipulated Orders [Dkt. Nos. 60
8
and 62], which set forth the claim construction briefing schedule for this action. The May 12, 2011,
9
Stipulated Order [Dkt 62] also set the technology tutorial for September 21, 2011, at 1:30 p.m. and
10
the Markman Hearing for October 5, 2011, at 1:30 p.m.
11
3. The parties, both the respective corporate representatives and outside counsel, have been
12
actively discussing resolution of this case, have reached a settlement in principle, and have
13
exchanged drafts of the settlement papers and are currently working on finalizing them.
14
Accordingly, the parties have met and conferred and agree that continuing the case schedule for two
15
weeks will facilitate finalization of the necessary settlement papers precedent to resolution of this
16
action.
17
4. The Court previously granted the Stipulated Orders to permit settlement discussions.
18
Otherwise, the only time modification in this case was to change the Case Management Conference
19
from December 3, 2010, to January 14, 2011, to coincide with the hearing on Rambus’s motion to
20
dismiss in related case, International Business Machines Corp. v. Rambus Inc.,
21
No. C 10-04017 JSW. See Dkt. 48.
22
23
24
25
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.
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States that the foregoing is
true and correct, and this declaration was executed this 27th day of May, 2011.
