SUPPORTING DECLARATION OF TINA E. HULSE
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 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 April 15, 2011, and May 12, 2011, the Court entered Stipulated Orders [Dkt. Nos. 44

8

and 46], which set forth a briefing schedule for cross-motions for summary judgment. The May 12,

9

2011, Stipulated Order [Dkt 46] also set the hearing on cross-dispositive motions for October 7,

10

2011, or any later date, subject to the convenience of the Court’s calendar.

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. See Dkt. 30.

21
22
23
24

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.
