Civil Action No. 6:10-cv-521-LED
JURY TRIAL DEMANDED

ORDER DENYING DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE
TWO LETTER BRIEFS REQUESTING PERMISSION TO FILE CERTAIN MOTIONS
Before the Court is the Motion for Leave to File Two Letter Briefs Requesting
Permission to File Certain Motions (Dkt. 277) (“Motion”) of Defendants Alcatel-Lucent USA
Inc., Telefonaktiebolaget Lm Ericsson, Ericsson Inc., Sony Mobile Communications AB, Sony
Mobile Communications (USA) Inc., HTC Corporation, HTC America, Inc., and Exedea Inc.
(collectively “Defendants”).
Having considered the arguments presented by the parties, the Court is of the opinion that
Defendants have failed to show good cause why their failure to comply with the Court’s Docket
Control Order and Standing Order Regarding Letter Briefs should be excused.

Because

Defendants have failed to show good cause, and because granting the Motion would unduly
prejudice plaintiff Wi-LAN, Inc., the Court concludes that the Motion should be DENIED.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the Motion is DENIED.

The Clerk is directed to

strike docket nos. 276, 280, and any other untimely letter brief filed by Defendants in this matter.
