JURY TRIAL

JOINT AGREED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE AGREED DISCOVERY ORDER Plaintiff Eolas Technologies, Inc. ("Eolas") and Defendants Adobe Systems Inc., Amazon.com, Inc., Apple Inc., Blockbuster Inc., CDW Corp., Citigroup Inc., eBay Inc., FritoLay, Inc., The Go Daddy Group, Inc., Google Inc., J.C. Penney Company, Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co., New Frontier Media, Inc., Office Depot, Inc., Perot Systems Corp., Playboy Enterprises International, Inc., Rent-A-Center, Inc., Staples, Inc., Sun Microsystems Inc., Texas Instruments Inc., Yahoo! Inc., and YouTube, LLC file this joint agreed motion to extend the deadline to file their agreed discovery order from March 22, 2010 until March 24, 2010 and would show the Court as follows:

I. Pursuant to the Court's Order dated March 17, 2010 (dkt. 240) the deadline for filing the agreed discovery order is March 22, 2010. As set forth herein, the parties have been working diligently to meet this date. However, despite the efforts of the parties, the parties are presently unable to meet this date. The parties seek leave from the Court to extend the March 22, 2010 deadline by two days, until March 24, 2010. This additional two day extension will allow the parties to continue to meet and confer in good faith in an effort to reach an agreed discovery order, or at least to narrow the scope of their dispute. II. In an effort to reach an agreed discovery order, the parties have met and conferred on six occasions (March 5, March 10, and March 12, March 17, March 19, and March 22, 2010). The parties presently believe that they are close to reaching an agreement on the discovery order, or at least narrowing the scope of their dispute. III. This motion is not made for delay, and should not impact any other deadline applicable to this litigation. IV. Accordingly, the parties respectfully request that the Court grant this Motion and extend the deadline to file their agreed discovery order from March 22, 2010 until March 24, 2010.
