CHI MEI OPTOELECTRONICS CORPORATION, et al., Defendants.

LG Display Co. Ltd. ("LG") moves for an order shortening time for briefing and hearing on its motion to compel discovery from third-party Acer America Corporation ("Acer"). It is not clear whether Acer intends to oppose the motion for an expedited hearing. In any event, this court does not find good cause for an order shortening time. The discovery requests were served almost six months ago. If LG felt this discovery was critical to its case, it surely would not have waited until the eve of the close of discovery to move to compel. Accordingly, the motion for an order shortening time is denied. LG's "Motion to Compel Third-Party Acer America Corporation to Produce Documents and Appear at a Deposition" will be heard on January 20, 2009, 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom 2. Briefing shall proceed in accordance with a normal 35-day calendar under the court's Civil Local Rules.
