SUPPORTING DECLARATION OF TINA E. HULSE
I, TINA E. HULSE, declare as follows:
1. I am an associate at Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner, L.L.P., counsel

4

for Defendant Rambus Inc. (“Rambus”). I submit this declaration in support of the parties’

5

Stipulation Regarding Case Schedule. I make this declaration of my own personal knowledge and

6

will competently testify thereto if called upon to do so.

7

2. On January 18, 2011, the Court entered a Civil Minute Order (“Order”) [Dkt. 38]

8

following the initial Case Management Conference. The Order set forth a briefing schedule for

9

cross-motions for summary judgment. The Order also set the hearing on cross-dispositive motions

10
11

for August 26, 2011, at 9:00 a.m.
3. The parties, both the respective corporate representatives and outside counsel, have been

12

actively discussing resolution of this case. Accordingly, the parties have met and conferred and

13

agree that continuing the case schedule for four weeks will facilitate these settlement discussions.

14

4. There have been no previous time modifications of the case schedule set forth in the

15

Order. Otherwise, the only time modification in this case was to change the Case Management

16

Conference from December 3, 2010, to January 14, 2011, to coincide with the hearing on Rambus’s

17

motion to dismiss. See Dkt. 30.

18

21

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 14th day of April, 2011.
