Plaintiff Synopsys, Inc. has filed an ex parte discovery letter. [Docket No. 103.] Defendant
ATopTech, Inc. separately filed a response requesting that this court postpone action on the disputes
raised in Synopsys’ letter. [Docket No. 105.]
On March 7, 2014, Judge Chesney issued an order disqualifying ATopTech’s counsel, and
ATopTech has subsequently filed a motion requesting that Judge Chesney stay the disqualification
order and a writ of mandamus with the Federal Circuit seeking reversal of the disqualification order,
both of which remain pending. Given the procedural posture of the case, judicial intervention
regarding the discovery disputes raised in Synopsys’ letter shall be postponed until after Judge
Chesney’s ruling on ATopTech’s motion to stay.
