Case No. 3:17-cv-01815-EMC
1
Plaintiff AbbVie, Inc. (“AbbVie”), Defendant Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics, Inc.,
2
(“Novartis”), and Defendant Grifols Worldwide Operations Ltd. (“Grifols”) file this stipulated
3
request and respectfully ask the Court to modify the case schedule to postpone the Initial Case
4

5
6
7
of arbitration between AbbVie and Novartis.
On August 31, 2017, this Court granted Defendant’s Motion to Compel Arbitration. (D.I.
8
73.) In response, AbbVie and Novartis commenced arbitration. The arbitration proceedings are
9
on-going.
10

A Case Management Conference is currently scheduled for February 1, 2018, with a Case
Management Statement due on January 25, 2018. (D.I. 76.)
12

14
In view of the foregoing, and to avoid unnecessary expenditure of judicial resources, the
parties concur that good cause exists to stay upcoming deadlines in this case pending resolution
15
of the arbitration proceedings. Therefore, the parties request that the Court postpone the Case
16
Management Conference and reset the due date for the Case Management Statement to
17
correspond with that rescheduled Conference. The parties will inform the Court when arbitration
18
is concluded, so that any appropriate schedule can be entered.
19
WHEREFORE, the parties respectfully request that, for good cause shown, the Court
20
21
grant this stipulated request.
