Schedule, ¶¶ 9-12, to extend each of the deadlines therein by not less than forty-five (45) days. The Court has previously modified the Case Schedule, most recently on September 9, 2010, Docket No. 108. The parties make this request based on the fact the parties have entered into settlement discussions. By moving the current deadlines, the parties will be able to direct their full attention to the negotiated resolution that would otherwise need to be spent preparing for upcoming trial deadlines, including expert-witness related deadlines. Avago and Venture are conducting settlement discussions directly through counsel and with the ultimate goal of reaching a negotiated resolution. Avago and Emcore are in the process of scheduling a formal mediation. The parties have agreed to mediate on April 26, 2011, and are working to secure a mediator for that day. In order to provide the parties with the time necessary to conduct a formal mediation and negotiate a resolution of the disputes, the parties respectfully request that the Court issue a further Modified Scheduling Order adjusting the Case Schedule, ¶¶ 9-12, by approximately, but not less than forty-five days, corresponding to the time between now and the mediation between Avago and Emcore, to better enable the parties to resolve their disputes. In the event they are unable to settle the case, the parties will thereafter resume their trial preparation efforts. SO STIPULATED.
