Case No.: 2:10-cv-01356-RLH-CWF
JOINT STIPULATION AND
ORDER TO REVISE THE
BRIEFING SCHEDULE FOR
RIGHTHAVEN LLC’S
APPLICATION TO INTERVENE AS
OF RIGHT PURSUANT TO
FEDERAL RULE OF CIVIL
PROCEDURE 24(A)(2) AND
STEPHENS MEDIA’S MOTION
FOR RECONSIDERATION
(FIRST REQUEST)
1
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED BETWEEN Counterclaimant Democratic Underground,
2
LLC (“Democratic Underground”), Counterclaim defendant Stephens Media LLC (“Stephens
3
Media”) and Righthaven LLC (“Righthaven”), through their attorneys of record, as follows:
4
1.
On June 14, 2011, the Court dismissed Righthaven’s complaint for lack of
5
standing and denied Stephens Media’s motion to dismiss Democratic Underground’s
6
counterclaim (Dkt. 116).
7
2.
On June 23, 2011, Righthaven moved the Court to intervene in this action as of
8
right pursuant Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 24(a)(2) (“Application”). (Dkt. 120.) In its
9
Application, Righthaven addressed the asserted basis for its standing to sue for copyright
10
infringement under the Clarification and Amendment to Strategic License Agreement
11
(“Amendment”).
12
3.
On June 28, 2011, Stephens Media moved for reconsideration of the Court’s
13
decision not to dismiss Democratic Underground’s counterclaim. (Dkt. 126.) Stephens Media
14
based its motion on its asserted lack of ownership of the copyright at issue under the
15
Amendment.
16
4.
On July 11, 2011, Righthaven filed a supplemental memorandum in support of its
17
application to intervene, apprising the Court of the Amended and Restated Strategic Alliance
18
Agreement (“Restated and Amended SAA”), which was executed on July 7, 2011. Righthaven
19
and Stephens Media assert that they executed the Restated and Amended SAA in order to
20
address the concerns raised in Righthaven LLC v. Hoehn, where the Court in that case found that
21
Righthaven lacked standing to sue under the Amendment. Doc. # 28, Case. No. 2:11-CV-00050-
22
PMP-RJJ (D. Nev.) (Pro, J.)
23
5.
Both Democratic Underground and Stephens Media would like the opportunity to
24
address Righthaven’s standing under the Restated and Amended SAA. Therefore, the parties
25
agree to, and respectfully request, a revised briefing schedule as follows:
26
27
•
Stephens Media shall have until July 15, 2011 to supplement its motion for
reconsideration.
28

•
Democratic Underground shall have until July 26, 2011 to file a single
memorandum in opposition to Righthaven’s application to intervene and Stephens
2
Media’s motion for reconsideration.

•
Stephens Media and Righthaven shall have until August 2, 2011 to submit a reply

This stipulation is sought in good faith and not for purposes of delay.
Dated this 13th day of July, 2011.
