Plaintiff Rambus Inc. (“Rambus”) and Defendants Broadcom Corporation (“Broadcom”), LSI
9
Corporation (“LSI”), Mediatek Inc. (“Mediatek”), and STMicroelectronics N.V. and
10
STMicroelectronics Inc. (collectively, “STMicro”) hereby submit the following Updated Joint
11
Case Management Statement Regarding the Parties’ Progress in Selection a Discovery Special
12
Master (“Statement”).
13
By way of background, the parties previously submitted a Joint Case Management
14
Statement on July 28, 2011, and the Court held a Case Management Conference on August 4,
15
2011. At the August 4th Conference, the Court directed the parties to confer (or confer further)
16
regarding a number of issues, including the use and identity of a special master for these related
17
cases, the parties’ proposed schedules, discovery limits, and an index of Rambus’s anticipated
18
production, and submit an Updated Case Management Statement by August 18, 2011.
19
On August 18, 2011, the parties submitted an Updated Case Management Statement that
20
included, among other things, a statement indicating that the parties agreed in principal to the use
21
of a special master and requesting a two-week period for the parties to meet and confer on the
22
selection of a particular special master.1 While that two-week period has now passed, the parties
23
believe it would be productive to continue meeting and conferring on the issue with the hope that
24
an agreement can be reached. Accordingly, the parties request that the Court permit the parties to
25
continue to meet and confer and report to the Court on the selection of a special master on or
26
27
28

Rambus continues to believe that the use of a special master in the Related Cases will multiply
rather than minimize the discovery disputes this Court will have to address. Rambus understands,
however, that the Court may wish to designate a special master.

before September 12, 2011. If the parties cannot reach an agreement by that date, each party will

submit to the Court no more than three names of potential special masters and, if necessary,

competing proposals as to how the cost for the special master will be divided among the parties.

The Court can then select a special master to be assigned to these related cases and resolve any

disputes related thereto.
