Aloft Media, LLC v. Google, Inc.

Filing 57

Opposed MOTION for Extension of Time to File to Suspend Deadlines by Aloft Media, LLC. (Attachments: #1 Text of Proposed Order)(Albritton, Eric)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS TYLER DIVISION ALOFT MEDIA, LLC, Plaintiff, v. GOOGLE, INC. Defendant. § § § § § § § § §

Civil Action No. 6:08-CV-440 JURY TRIAL DEMANDED

PLAINTIFF ALOFT MEDIA, LLC'S OPPOSED MOTION TO SUSPEND DEADLINES Aloft Media, LLC ("Aloft"), plaintiff in the above-entitled and numbered civil action, respectfully requests that the Court enter an Order suspending all deadlines in this case for a period of two weeks. Google Inc. refuses to agree to this motion; instead, it only will agree to address deadlines on a case by case basis. The parties reached an oral agreement to settle this case and have been negotiating the final written settlement agreement. This two weeks is necessary because Aloft just received a revised settlement agreement from Google Inc. today, and, the additional time is necessary to attempt to finalize the settlement agreement, and, if they cannot, to to undertake the necessary work to comply with the requirements of the Docket Control and Discovery Orders. WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Aloft respectfully moves that the Court grant this Opposed Motion to Suspend Deadlines as set forth in the attached proposed order.

Respectfully submitted,
