Bayer HealthCare LLC commenced this miscellaneous discovery proceeding in

16

May 2014. In June 2014, the parties jointly represented that they had reached a “comprehensive

17

agreement concerning discovery. Accordingly, there are no remaining disputes at this time.”

18

Jurisdiction was retained until August 29. A September 2014 order then granted a joint motion

19

to extend jurisdiction until October 13. On September 24, the parties appeared for a hearing and

20

represented that they had resolved their discovery dispute.

21

Now, Bayer represents that on “October 2, after the close of business, Nektar

22

[Therapeutics] produced over 2,100 new documents.” By NOON ON OCTOBER 14, Nektar shall

23

show cause why this production came so late. Nektar’s response shall not exceed three pages.

24

This order extends jurisdiction until October 28, 2014.

25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
