stipulation to extend time complies with Civ. L.R. 6-2. The court, however, cannot accommodate

the parties’ last request, and will instead schedule a hearing on the motions for May 1, 2012.

Furthermore, the court directs the parties to review the court’s order in Apple Inc. v. Samsung

5

Electronics Co., Ltd., et al., Case No. 5:11-cv-01846-LHK, Docket No. 699, for guidance

regarding future requests to shorten time. The court cannot overlook its duty to balance the

IT IS SO ORDERED.
