and BOSTON SCIENTIFIC CORPORATION, Plaintiff-Intervenor. and Counterclaim Defendant.

On October 31, 2008, Plaintiffs, Counterclaim Defendants, and Defendants to Complaintin-Intervention, Medtronic Vascular, Inc., Medtronic USA, Inc., Medtronic, Inc., and Medtronic Vascular Galway, Ltd. (collectively "Medtronic Plaintiffs") moved for an order compelling Defendants and Counterclaim Plaintiffs Abbott Cardiovascular Systems, Inc., Abbott Laboratories, and Abbott Vascular, Inc. (collectively "Abbott Defendants") to respond to damages fact discovery served by Medtronic Plaintiffs. (Dkt. # 554.) The hearing on this motion is noticed for December 10, 2008, allowing Abbott Defendants until November 19, 2008, to file and serve any opposition under the Local Rules, and Medtronic Plaintiffs until November 26, 2008, to file and serve a reply. There is a dispute between Medtronic Plaintiffs and Abbott Defendants as to whether damages fact discovery between those parties is closed. Abbott Defendants believe that it closed on August 22, 2008 (Dkt. # 426), while Medtronic Plaintiffs believe that it is open until November 21, 2008 (Dkt. # 550). Given Medtronic Plaintiffs' position that the close of damages fact discovery is set for November 21, 2008, twenty days before the noticed motion date, Medtronic Plaintiffs requested that Abbott Defendants agree to an expedited hearing and an accelerated briefing time-table in an effort to minimize possible modifications to the Court's current schedule. Abbott Defendants do not believe that there is good cause to shorten time or that such measures are necessary, but have agreed to Medtronic Plaintiffs' request as a professional courtesy (and provided the Court agrees). There have been no previous time modifications related to this motion. Accordingly, as shown by their signatures below, Medtronic Plaintiffs and Abbott Defendants hereby stipulate, with the Court's permission, to shorten time as follows:
