Civil Action No. 1:11-cv-10255-JLT

DEFENDANTS’ ASSENTED-TO MOTION FOR CONTINUANCE
Defendants DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc., DreamWorks Animation LLC, and
Paramount Pictures Corporation (collectively “DreamWorks”) hereby move for a continuance of
the Scheduling Conference in this matter from July 13, 2011 to either August 9 or the morning of
August 10, 2011. The parties are not requesting that the Court modify the dates set forth in its
Modified Discovery Order, but will continue to meet the deadlines stated therein.
As grounds for the motion, DreamWorks states that on July 6, 2011, senior counsel in
this matter, Messrs. Zavin and Grossman, begin trial in the Superior Court of Los Angeles
County. That trial concerns the same intellectual property at issue in this matter. The Superior
Court docket estimates that the trial will last ten (10) days (until July 19) , but counsel anticipates
that the trial may start sometime after July 6, and it may take up to seventeen (17) days (until
July 28 or somewhat thereafter), depending on the outcome of pending motions. Attached to this
motion is a copy of the Los Angeles Superior Court’s electronic docket, which indicates the

scheduled trial date and estimated length, as well as the appearances of Messrs. Zavin and
Grossman in that matter.
As further grounds for this motion, counsel for DreamWorks has conferred with counsel
for Mr. Gordon about this motion and alternative dates, and Mr. Gordon’s counsel assents to this
motion.
