Plaintiff/Counterclaim Defendant,
vs.

Defendant/Counterclaim Plaintiff.

----------------------------~/
ORDER DENYING JOINT MOTION TO INCLUDE PRETRIAL DATES ON CLAIM
CONSTRUCTION AND EXPERT DISCOVERY
THIS CAUSE came before the Court upon the parties' Joint Motion to Include Pretrial Dates
on Claim Construction and Expert Discovery (D.E. No. 49), filed on April 10,2011.
THE COURT has considered the motion and the pertinent portions of the record, and being
otherwise fully advised in the premises, it is
ADJUDGED that the motion is DENIED as the Court after 21 years on the Federal Bench
is well aware of the necessity for a Markman hearing prior to trial. The deadlines for those briefs
are part and parcel of the deadlines set for all motions. Discovery in other civil cases involves
experts too and this discovery order setting deadlines contemplated that expert depositions would
take place.
