Medidata Solutions, Inc., et al. v. Veeva Sys. Inc., No. 1:17-cv-00589-LGS-RWL

Dear Judge Schofield:
Plaintiffs Medidata Solutions, Inc. and MDSOL Europe Limited (together, “Medidata”)
respectfully write pursuant to Rule I.B.2 of the Court’s Individual Rules and Procedures for Civil
Cases to request an extension of time to file a response to Defendant Veeva Systems, Inc.’s
(“Veeva”) letter motion seeking permission to file under seal portions of Veeva’s exhibit list.
See Dkt. 721. The original due date was November 16, 2021. Medidata has not previously
requested that the Court extend this due date. Veeva advises that it does not oppose this request.
On November 9, 2021, the Court ordered Medidata to file a response to Veeva’s letter,
identifying any document names in Veeva’s exhibit list that require confidential treatment. See
Dkt. 724. Medidata respectfully submits that good cause exists to grant it an extension to file its
response in light of the Court’s recent Order adjourning sine die the deadline to file the updated
pretrial order in this matter. See Dkt. 727.
With respect the Court’s Order that Medidata publicly file its own exhibit list in redacted
form with the updated pretrial order and file under seal the list without redactions, Dkt. 720 at 2,
it is Medidata’s understanding that this deadline was adjourned by the Court’s Order from today,
because the deadline to file the updated pretrial order was adjourned. Dkt. 727. Accordingly,
Medidata respectfully requests that the Court grant it an extension of time to file its response to
Veeva’s letter until, and consistent with, such new deadline to file the updated pretrial order as
the Court may set.
