Case No. 4:13-cv-00159-CW (MEJ)

Case4:13-cv-00159-CW Document204 Filed08/19/13 Page2 of 5

1

Plaintiff Linex Technologies, Inc. (“Linex”) and Defendants Hewlett-Packard Company

2

(“HP”); Apple Computer Inc. (“Apple”); Aruba Networks, Inc. (“Aruba”); Meru Networks, Inc.

3

(“Meru”); and Ruckus Wireless, Inc. (“Ruckus”) (collectively “Defendants”) hereby stipulate, with

4

the Court’s permission, to amend the Case Schedule (Dkts. 193, referring to 190 and 190-1), as

5

provided in the table on the following page. As explained in the supporting Declaration of Robert F.

6

McCauley, Linex believes that there is good cause to amend the schedule because numerous defense

7

and third-party witnesses are not available for depositions until after, or just days before, the Court’s

8

current deadline for exchanging opening technical expert reports on September 1, 2013, and

9

Defendants are stipulating to the requested amendment. Although the proposed modified schedule

10

will presumably require continuing the Claim Construction hearing by two weeks (or at the Court’s

11

convenience, to give the Court time to consider the parties’ papers), the parties believe that

12

amending the schedule as below will not require any further changes to the Court’s calendar or the

13

remaining dates in the current Case Schedule. Furthermore, these modifications to the schedule do

14

not result in any prejudice to any of the parties. Thus, the parties respectfully request that the Court

15

enter the parties’ stipulation regarding the schedule.
