Case No. 3:12-cv-6496-MMC
ORDER GRANTING
Stipulated Request to Extend Case Management
Deadlines Under Local Rule 6-2

1

Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 6-2, Plaintiff Advanced Connection Technology, Inc. (“ACT”)

2

and Defendant Canon U.S.A., Inc. (“Canon”), collectively, “the parties,” enter into this stipulation

3

based on the following facts:

4

1.

ACT filed its complaints against Canon (D.I. 1, Case No. 3:12-06496-MMC), Toshiba

5

America Information Systems, Inc. (“Toshiba”) (D.I. 1, Case No. 5:12-cv-06489-PSG), and Hewlett-

6

Packard Company (“HP”) (D.I. 1, Case No. 3:12-cv-06487-JSC) on December 21, 2012.

7

2.

On January 18, 2013, in anticipation of ACT’s amended complaint, the parties

8

stipulated to extend Canon’s time to answer or otherwise respond to amended complaint to February

9

28, 2013. (D.I. 5.) The stipulation did not otherwise affect the existing deadlines set by the Court.
3.

On January 21, 2013, ACT filed the amended complaint. (D.I. 6.)

4.

On March 7, 2013, counsel for the parties met and conferred under Rule 26(f). In the

12

course of this discussion the parties agreed that it would be beneficial to consolidate the claim

13

construction procedures for all three cases. Because of the different procedural postures of the

14

Canon, Toshiba, and HP cases, a continuance of the existing case deadlines would be appropriate to

15

allow the cases to align procedurally.

16

Accordingly, the parties stipulate and respectfully request that the Court continue the initial

17

case management conference to May 10, 2013. The parties anticipate that they will keep the Court

18

apprised of further developments in the consolidation efforts.
