the stay is lifted to effect any such service. Id. at 4. The Foxconn Defendants are agreeable to

2

Microsoft’s request that the obligation to serve process, along with all other obligations in this

3

litigation, be tolled for the duration of the stay, and thus that Microsoft will not attempt such

4

service on the Foxconn Defendants during the pendency of the stay. However, in view of the fact

5

that 74 days have already passed since Microsoft filed the Complaint in this action, Microsoft

6

should be permitted no more than 60 days after the stay is lifted to effect service upon the

7

Foxconn Defendants.
