Before the Court is defendant’s Administrative Motion to Set Deadline for Patent

17

Infringement Contentions, filed December 10, 2013, by which defendant requests the Court

18

order plaintiff to serve its patent infringement contentions by January 24, 2014, rather than

19

by a date no later than fourteen days after the Initial Case Management Conference, as

20

provided by the Patent Local Rules. See Patent L.R. 3–1. On December 16, 2013, plaintiff

21

filed its opposition to defendant’s motion.

22

The Court, having read and considered the parties’ respective written submissions,

23

finds it appropriate to first resolve the parties’ pending motions to disqualify counsel and to

24

dismiss, and thereafter, at the Initial Case Management Conference, to set all dates

25

relevant to claim construction.
