Civil Action No. 5:08-cv-20-DF JURY TRIAL DEMANDED

DEFENDANTS' AGREED MOTION TO MODIFY DOCKET CONTROL ORDER Defendants Cisco Systems, Inc. and Cisco-Linksys, LLC (collectively "Cisco") move this Court to modify its May 22, 2008 Docket Control Order. Good cause for this request is established because Cisco's trial counsel has a trial scheduled in another matter for the currently scheduled trial date and ESN has requested additional time to conduct fact discovery. Accordingly, Cisco respectfully requests that the Court modify the Docket Control Order as follows: (1) Extend the "Deadline for completion of all fact discovery, which shall be at least 90 days before the final pre-trial conference" to November 9, 2009; (2) Extend the "Deadline for disclosure of expert testimony on issues for which a party bears the burden of proof" to November 13, 2009; (3) Extend the "Deadline for disclosure of rebuttal expert testimony" to December 8, 2009; (4) Extend the "Deadline for completion of expert discovery" to January 8, 2010;
