HONORABLE MARSHA J. PECHMAN

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON AT SEATTLE

INTERVAL LICENSING LLC, Plaintiff, v. AOL, INC., et al., Defendants.

Case No. No. 2:10-cv-01385-MJP DEFENDANT FACEBOOK, INC.'S JOINDER IN MOTIONS TO DISMISS OR SEVER FOR MISJOINDER SCHEDULED FOR HEARING: April 25, 2011, at 4:00 pm

Defendant Facebook Inc. ("Facebook") respectfully joins in the Renewed Motion to Dismiss or Sever for Misjoinder (Dkt. No. 193) filed by defendant Yahoo! Inc. ("Yahoo") and other related motions to dismiss or sever for misjoinder.1 Facebook previously filed a Joinder to Google Inc. and Youtube, LLC's ("Google") Motion to Dismiss or Sever for Misjoinder (Dkt. No. 91). On December 13, 2010, the Court reserved ruling on all pending motions to dismiss or sever. (Order Memorializing Scheduling Conference (Dkts. No. 149) ¶ 3.) Facebook respectfully requests that the Court dismiss or sever it from the above-captioned case for the reasons set forth

Facebook, however, respectfully requests that the Court rule on the pending motion to stay the case pending reexamination prior to ruling on any other outstanding issues in this litigation, including the pending motions to sever.

in its original joinder, in Google's original Motion to Dismiss or Sever (Dkt. No. 63), and in the renewed motion recently filed by Yahoo! Because the prior motions and Yahoo!'s renewed motion, in which Facebook now joins, have been fully briefed and because the Court has scheduled oral argument on Yahoo!'s renewed motion and the Renewed Motion to Sever or Dismiss filed by eBay, Netflix, Office Depot, and Staples (Dkt. No. 192), Facebook requests that its joinder in Yahoo!'s renewed motion be considered along with the other motions to dismiss or sever. In filing this notice Facebook does not request additional time for argument at the April 25, 2011 hearing, and will coordinate with the other defendants on use of the allotted time. Counsel for Facebook met and conferred telephonically with counsel for Plaintiff on April 8, 2011, and, subject to the Court's approval, Plaintiff's counsel has consented to Facebook's filing of this notice joining Yahoo!'s renewed motion and Facebook's request for oral argument on April 25, 2011.
