JOINT STIPULATION TO CONTINUE DEADLINES; KEAN DECLARATION IN SUPPORT – C-11-01080 JCS
1
Pursuant to Civil L.R. 6-2 and 7-12, Plaintiff Olympic Developments AG, LLC (“Plaintiff”)
2
and Defendant Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC (“SCEA”) (jointly, the “Parties”)
3
stipulate and request that the Initial Case Management Conference and all other pending deadlines
4
set by this Court’s March 8, 2011 Order Setting Initial Case Management Conference and ADR
5
Deadlines (Dkt 69) be continued as set forth below. Pursuant to Civil L.R. 6-2, this joint stipulation
6
is based on the accompanying declaration of Abran J. Kean, which sets forth the following facts
7
upon which the Parties agree:
8
1.
In a separate action currently pending before the Honorable Edward J. Davila of this
9
Court, Olympic Developments AG, LLC v. Apple, Inc., et al., Northern District of California Case
10
No. C-11-016555 (the “SEL Action”), Plaintiff currently asserts claims against Sony Electronics Inc.
11
(“SEL”) and other defendants arising out of the same patents at issue in this action. In the SEL
12
Action, SEL also asserts counterclaims against Plaintiff regarding the same patents that are at issue
13
in SCEA’s counterclaims in this action. SEL’s counsel in the SEL Action is the same as SCEA’s
14
counsel in this action.
15
2.
As contemplated in the Parties’ June 3, 2011 stipulation (Dkt 87), Plaintiff, SCEA,
16
and SEL have agreed that the convenience of all parties and consistent and efficient judicial
17
management would benefit from removing Plaintiff’s and SEL’s claims from the SEL Action and
18
asserting them in this action.
19
3.
In order to permit time for the Parties to effectuate that rearranging of the claims in
20
both the SEL Action and this action, and to avoid unnecessary duplication of effort in this Court
21
after this case is at issue, the Parties request that the deadlines currently set by the Court’s March 8,
22
2011 Order Setting Initial Case Management Conference and ADR Deadlines be continued to track
23
similar deadlines currently set in the SEL Action, as follows:
24
(a)
the last day to meet and confer regarding initial disclosures, early settlement,
25
ADR process selection, and a discovery plan, file the ADR Certification and file either the
26
Stipulation to ADR Process or Notice of Need for ADR Phone Conference shall be continued
27
from June 17, 2011 to August 26, 2011;
