JOINT STIPULATION RE BRIEFING SCHEDULE FOR THE PARTIES’ PENDING SUMMARY JUDGMENT AND
PARTIAL SUMMARY JUDGMENT MOTIONS; REQUEST FOR ORDER APPROVING STIPULATION

Currently pending before the Court are Plaintiff’s Motion for Partial Summary

1
2

Judgment on the Second Affirmative Defense (Licensed Use) in New Defendants’

3

Answer to Plaintiff’s Third Amended Complaint (ECF #928); Plaintiff’s Motion for

4

Partial Summary Judgment re Lapse of 1999 Agreement (ECF #933); New

5

Defendants’ Motion for Partial Summary Judgment on the Issue of Fair Use, and on

6

the Absence of any Remaining Similarities (ECF #934); and New Defendants’ Motion

7

for Summary Judgment on Plaintiff’s Foreign Claims of Copyright Infringement (ECF

8

#935) (collectively, “the Motions”). Per Order of this Court dated May 19, 2016

9

(ECF #938), oral argument for the Motions has been set for 10:00 A.M., July 28,

10
11

2016.
The current deadline for Opposition to the Motions is May 26, 2016. This

12

deadline is problematic for the parties for a number of reasons. As to New

13

Defendants, counsel with both the Leopold, Petrich & Smith law firm and the Miller

14

Korzenik Sommers law firm have preexisting commitments (a corporate advisory

15

council annual meeting; a memorial service) requiring their attendance on May 26,

16

2016, as well as related travel immediately preceding that date. As to Plaintiff, lead

17

counsel, Gregory H. Guillot, was engaged, almost full-time, in reply briefing and

18

motion practice before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in another case, from May

19

3, 2016 – the day following service of the dispositive motions herein – to May 17,

20

2016, and accordingly, has not yet been unable to devote adequate time to Plaintiff’s

21

responses to New Defendants’ motions; co-counsel, Robert H. McKirgan, is leaving

22

this week for a long-scheduled family vacation; and, Plaintiff’s response to New

23

Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment on Plaintiff’s Foreign Claims of

24

Copyright Infringement requires consultation with foreign law firms in Australia,

25

Canada, and the United Kingdom, and this process is not yet complete. The parties

26

have met and conferred through counsel and agreed to extend the deadline for

27

Opposition to the Motions to June 20, 2016, with an agreed-upon deadline for Replies

28

in support of the Motions of July 11, 2016. The parties have further agreed and

hereby represent to the Court that this will be the only request for an extension

2

regarding the briefing schedule for the Motions and there will be no request to

3

continue the July 28, 2016 hearing thereon, set by the Court in its Order (ECF

4

#938) dated May 19, 2016.

5

Accordingly, all parties now stipulate, agree and request that the parties be

accorded through June 20, 2016 within which to respond to the Motions, and through

7

July 11, 2016 within which to file replies in support thereof.
