EOLAS TECHNOLOGIES
INCORPORATED,
Plaintiff,
vs.
ADOBE SYSTEMS, INC., et al.,
Defendants.

CASE NO. 6:09-CV-446

ORDER
Before the Court is the Unopposed Motion to Revise Schedule for Briefing of Motions to
Strike and Daubert Motions (Docket No. 1129). First, the Court notes that the trial in this case
has been continued from October 2011 until February 2012, which should have afforded the
parties plenty of time to draft these motions within the current DCO deadlines. Additionally,
there are ten pending motions to strike or Daubert motions, several of them presenting
duplicative arguments. Finally, the parties present boilerplate language to justify their request for
extension.
The Court, with reservations, GRANTS the motion to revise the briefing schedule.
However, the parties are cautioned against submitting duplicative arguments that effectively
sidestep the page limits dictated by the Local Rules. Excessive motion practice and duplicative
arguments waste the Court’s valuable resources. Accordingly, the parties are ORDERED to
meet and confer before submitting any motions subject to this revised schedule to ensure that the
arguments submitted do not simply repeat arguments already before the Court. To the extent that
such arguments are deemed necessary, the parties shall incorporate them by reference or join the
already filed motion.

So ORDERED and SIGNED this 9th day of December, 2011.
