STIPULATED REQUEST FOR ORDER CHANGING TIME
CASE NO. 4:11-CV-06121-CW

1

Pursuant to Civil L.R. 6-2, Tessera, Inc. (“Tessera”) and Powertech Technology Inc.

2 (“PTI”) respectfully request an Order shortening the briefing and hearing schedule for Plaintiff

3 Powertech Technology Inc.’s Notice of Motion And Motion To Stay Proceedings. D.I. 220.

4

PTI’s Motion to Stay seeks an order staying the effect of this Court’s January 18, 2013

5 order, which affirmed Judge Legge’s order regarding production of materials PTI contends are

6 protected from discovery because they are privileged and covered by the common interest

7 doctrine, while PTI files a petition for writ of mandamus in the Ninth Circuit. PTI’s Motion for

8 Stay is currently set for hearing on March 21, 2013. The parties agreed to extend the fact

9 discovery cut-off in this case to April 4, 2013. Tessera believes the documents subject to PTI’s

10 Motion to Stay may affect depositions and other fact discovery in this case, and PTI does not

11 oppose Tessera’s desire to resolve the issues raised by the Motion to Stay on an expedited basis to

12 determine whether a motion to stay needs to be requested from the Ninth Circuit.

13

Accordingly, the parties respectfully request that the Court shorten the briefing and hearing

14 schedule on PTI’s Motion to Stay as follows:

Motion:

Thursday, February 7, 2013 (already filed)
