COMPOSITE RESOURCES, INC.,
Case No. 2:17-cv-01755-MMD-VCF
18
Plaintiff,
STIPULATION AND ORDER TO
EXTEND DISPOSITIVE MOTION AND
PRETRIAL ORDER DEADLINES
19
vs.
20
RECON MEDICAL, LLC,
(FIRST REQUEST)
21
Defendant.
22
23
While the parties previously submitted a single stipulation to extend discovery and related
24
deadlines, discovery has now closed and this is the first request to extend the dispositive and
25
pretrial order deadlines specifically. Pursuant to LR IA 6-1 and LR 26-4, Plaintiff Composite
26
Resources, Inc. (“CRI”) and Defendant Recon Medical, LLC (“Recon” and with CRI the
27
“Parties”), by and through their respective counsel, for good cause shown, hereby stipulate and
28
agree to extend the dispositive and pretrial order deadlines presently set in this matter.
1
A.
Good Cause Exists for the Requested Extension in this Patent Litigation
2
The dispositive motion deadline is presently set for July 30, 2018. However, no Claim
3
Construction Order has issued from the Court. Without certainty as to the meaning of the terms
4
and construction of the claims at issue in this matter it is virtually impossible for the Parties to
5
draft meaningful motions for summary judgment. For example, if the Court defines a term or
6
constructs a claim except in the way advocated by the drafting party, substantial portions of the
7
briefing may be nonsensical or irrelevant. Beyond informing the language of the briefing, the
8
Court’s Claim Construction Order will substantially impact the contours of what remains in
9
dispute.
Snell & Wilmer
Similarly, the pretrial order deadline is presently set for August 28, 2018. However, the
11
L.L.P.

702.784.5200
10
Parties cannot meaningfully address the issues for trial before resolution of any dispositive
12
motions that may substantially narrow or even resolve this matter. Furthermore, under LPR 1-
13
19(b) the Parties must engage in a Post-Claim Construction Order Settlement Conference within
14
thirty (30) days of entry of the Court’s Claim Construction Order that once again may resolve this
15
matter.
16
Accordingly, extension of both the dispositive motion and pretrial order deadlines will
17
conserve the resources of the parties, serve the Court’s purposes under Federal Rule of Civil
18
Procedure 1 as well as judicial efficiency, and will not delay or otherwise impact the trial date.
19
B.
20
Procedural Posture
Pursuant to the Court’s prior order the discovery cut-off has passed. ECF No. 81 at 3:27.
21
No trial date has been set. See ECF No. 81 at 4:10-13.
