IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS TYLER DIVISION MIRROR WORLDS, LLC Plaintiff, vs. APPLE, INC. Defendant. § § § § § § § § §

Civil Action No. 6:08-CV-88 JURY TRIAL DEMANDED

AGREED MOTION TO EXTEND DEADLINES Apple Inc. ("Apple") and Mirror Worlds, LLC ("Mirror Worlds") respectfully submit this Agreed Motion to extend the deadlines for submitting the agreed docket control and discovery orders as set in the Court's July 17, 2008 Order [D.I. 21]; to accordingly adjust the effective Rule 16 Scheduling Conference date; and to set Apple's deadline to comply with P.R. 3-3 and 3-4. In support thereof, Apple and Mirror Worlds would show the Court the following: In accordance with the Court's July 17, 2008 Order, the parties' agreed docket control and discovery orders are due July 28, 2008. In order that the parties may agree to a docket control order and discovery order that are reasonable in view of Mirror Worlds' August 15, 2008 disclosures and therefore reduce the need in the future to seek relief from the Court, the parties respectfully request that the deadlines for submitting agreed docket control order and discovery order be extended to September 2, 2008. Furthermore, because the Court's July 17, 2008 Order also set the effective Rule 16 Scheduling Conference date to be the same as the deadline for the parties' agreed docket control order and discovery order, the parties respectfully request that the effective Rule 16 Scheduling Conference date also be extended to September 2, 2008.
