JOINT STIPULATION TO STAY ACTION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER

1

Plaintiff Riverbed Technology, Inc. (“Riverbed”) and Defendant Realtime Data, LLC

2

d/b/a IXO (“Realtime”), by and through their attorneys, hereby stipulate to stay this action. This

3

stipulation is based on the following facts:

4

1.

On April 3, 2017, Realtime filed a Complaint in the Eastern District of Texas,

5

Tyler Division, Case No. 6:17-cv-198, (“the Texas Action”) alleging infringement of U.S. Patent

6

Nos. 8,719,438 (the “’438 Patent”) and 8,717,204 (the “’204 Patent”).

7
8
9

2.

On June 2, 2017, Riverbed filed its Complaint in this action seeking declaratory

relief of non-infringement of the ’438 and ’204 Patents (“the California Action”).
3.

On July 14, 2017, Riverbed filed a motion to dismiss Realtime’s Complaint in the

RUSS, AUGUST & KABAT

10

Eastern District of Texas action for improper venue or in the alternative, to transfer. In the

11

motion, Riverbed asserts that venue in the Eastern District of Texas is improper under 28 U.S.C.

12

§ 1400(b) pursuant to the Supreme Court’s decision in TC Heartland, among other things.

13

Briefing on this motion is due to be complete on August 24, 2017.

14

4.

On August 4, 2017, Realtime filed a motion to dismiss Riverbed’s complaint in

15

this action under the first-to-file rule in light of Realtime’s earlier complaint in the Eastern

16

District of Texas. Realtime also seeks to dismiss the Riverbed’s complaint for lack of personal

17

jurisdiction.

18

5.

The parties agree that a stay of this action pending resolution of Riverbed’s

19

motion to dismiss or transfer in the Texas Action is acceptable and would conserve judicial

20

resources.

Accordingly, the parties hereby STIPULATE AND JOINTLY REQUEST THAT THE
COURT ORDER as follows:
1.

This action is stayed pending resolution of Riverbed’s motion to dismiss

Realtime’s Complaint filed in the Eastern District of Texas, Case No. 6:17-cv-198, Docket 27.
2.

This stipulation does not prejudice either party’s future right to seek any

appropriate relief either in the California Action or the Texas Action.
3.

Realtime can renew its motion to dismiss Riverbed’s complaint in this action

within 14 days of a final ruling on Riverbed’s motion to dismiss.

1
JOINT STIPULATION TO STAY ACTION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER

3.

The parties will provide the Court with a status report every 90 days until a final

2

ruling on Riverbed’s motion is issued. Upon a final ruling on Riverbed’s motion in the Texas

3

Action, the parties will provide the Court a status report within 10 days.
