JOINT MOTION TO VACATE DEADLINES IN SCHEDULING ORDER
Pursuant to the Court’s April 19, 2012 Order Allowing Apple to File Amended Answer;
Vacating Order Striking Motorola’s Supplemental Infringement Contentions; and Directing the
Parties to Meet-and-Confer Regarding Procedural Schedule, which was electronically filed on
April 23, 2012, D.E. 327, Apple, Inc. (“Apple”) and Motorola Solutions, Inc. and Motorola
Mobility, Inc. (“Motorola”) (collectively, the “Parties”) were directed to meet and confer within
twenty days regarding an appropriate amended procedural schedule and whether this case should
be consolidated in whole or in part with the 2012 case also pending before this Court. These
discussions have begun and are continuing and the Parties will report to the Court on the status
of these discussions by May 10, 2012. In light of this, the Parties jointly request that the Court
enter an order vacating the upcoming deadlines while the Parties continue their discussions in the
hopes of reaching an agreed-upon procedural schedule. In support of their motion, the Parties
state that:
1. The Parties agree that additional time is needed for fact and expert discovery in light of
the Court’s April 19, 2012 Order. However, the Parties currently disagree on the amount
of additional time required and the extent to which the two cases should be consolidated,
but will continue to attempt to reach agreement.
2. At least some of the upcoming deadlines in the current procedural schedule are likely to
pass before the Parties conclude their discussions. Specifically, the close of fact
discovery is currently scheduled for May 4, 2012 and the parties are scheduled to serve
their opening expert reports on May 11, 2012. In addition, the remaining deadlines
concerning expert discovery and dispositive motions will need to be extended as well.
These deadlines are summarized in the table below:
Event
Close of fact discovery
Opening expert reports
Rebuttal expert reports
Close of expert discovery
Deadline to file dispositive motions
Deadline to file pretrial motions
Current Deadline
5/4/12
5/11/12
6/8/12
7/3/12
7/13/12
7/20/12
WHEREFORE, the Parties respectfully request that the Court enter an order vacating the
aforementioned deadlines in the procedural schedule.
