(Bonn, Amanda)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS
MARSHALL DIVISION
ROCKSTAR CONSORTIUM US LP
AND NETSTAR TECHNOLOGIES
LLC
Plaintiffs,

Case No. 2:13-cv-00893-JRG-RSP

v.
GOOGLE INC.

JURY TRIAL DEMANDED

Defendant.

PLAINTIFFS’ SUR-REPLY TO GOOGLE INC.’S
MOTION FOR EXPEDITED BRIEFING SCHEDULE ON
PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE A SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEF
IN RESPONSE TO GOOGLE’S MOTION TO TRANSFER, AND,
GOOGLE’S REQUEST, IN THE ALTERNATIVE,
TO STAY PENDING RESOLUTION OF GOOGLE’S TRANSFER MOTION

3239809v1/013149

Google’s Motion for Expedited Briefing requested that Plaintiffs’ Reply on their Motion
for Leave (and in response to Google’s purported “Cross-Motion” to Stay) should be due on June
30, 2014, and Google’s Sur-Reply should be due on July 2, 2014. Plaintiffs respectfully submit
that the motion for an expedited briefing schedule must be denied for at least three reasons. First,
the motion is now moot because the expedited briefing deadlines Google sought have passed.
Second, the motion is also moot because Plaintiffs filed a Motion to Strike Google’s combined
opposition and “cross-motion” for violating Local Rule CV-7(a) rather than acceding to
Google’s violation of the Local Rules by filing a single, combined “reply” to both its own
motion and Google’s improper “cross-motion” to stay the case. Third, to the extent that Google
wishes to seek an expedited briefing schedule on a motion to stay the case, it is required to
actually file such a motion pursuant to Local Rule CV-7(a), for the reasons set forth in Plaintiffs’
pending Motion to Strike. See Dkt. No. 100. For the foregoing reasons, Plaintiffs respectfully
request that the Court deny Google’s motion for an expedited briefing schedule.
