compliance with his obligations under Patent Local Rules 3-1 and 3-2. Dkt. No. 82. Plaintiff now

seeks clarification of that Order. Dkt. No. 83. Specifically, Plaintiff understands the Order to

require him to state his legal argument on the legal standard, rather than attesting to facts,

Instead, Plaintiff shall attest to his compliance with the standard provided by the Court in its
