UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS MARSHALL DIVISION DATATREASURY CORPORATION, Plaintiff v. WELLS FARGO & COMPANY, ET AL., Defendants 2:06-CV-72 DF

JOINT UNOPPOSED MOTION TO MODIFY AMENDED DOCKET CONTROL ORDER All Defendants jointly move the Court to modify its Amended Docket Control Order (Docket No. 328) to extend several deadlines related to the Defendants' service of preliminary invalidity contentions and production of accompanying documents. 1 Despite the Defendants' reasonable diligence, an extension of time is needed to serve the Defendants' preliminary invalidity contentions and produce the accompanying documents due to the breadth of the issues at stake and the large number of patents-at-issue. Furthermore, the Defendants are coordinating efforts among 56 parties in order to develop the contentions in the most efficient manner possible. At this stage, however, this coordination adds an initial layer of complexity that contributes to the need for additional time. Due to these needed deadline changes, it is also necessary to alter the deadline for the exchange of any proposed terms and claim elements for construction so that the parties can properly prepare for and execute this exchange. The rest of the Court's scheduling order does not need to be disturbed beyond these few modifications.

See SECOND AMENDED DOCKET CONTROL ORDER, attached hereto as EXHIBIT "1." The extensions requested herein are brought so that justice may be done; not for purposes of delay. Accordingly, Defendants respectfully request that the Court modify its Amended Docket Control Order to change the deadlines as listed above.
