STIPULATED MOTION

Pursuant to LCR 16(b)(6), Plaintiff Lumentum Operations LLC (“Lumentum”) and

Defendants nLIGHT, Inc. (“nLIGHT”), Dahv Kliner (“Kliner”), and Roger L. Farrow

20

respectfully submit this Stipulated Motion to Modify the Scheduling Order (Dkt. Nos. 47, 75,

21

82).

22

Since the Court granted the Parties’ prior stipulation to modify the Scheduling Order

23

(Dkt. 82), the Parties appeared at the April 18, 2024 Hearing regarding the Expedited Joint

24

Motion for Discovery by Lumentum (Dkt. 76). Consistent with the Court’s guidance at the

25

April 18, 2024 Hearing, the parties have been diligently working together, including multiple

26

meet and confers, to produce documents and supplement discovery responses as ordered by the

27

Court, take depositions, and attempt to resolve remaining discovery disputes.

Case No. 3:22-cv-05186-BHS

1

Defendants have not yet been able to produce manuals and specifications for the Corona

2

fiber laser products as ordered by the Court, but the parties continue to work cooperatively on

3

this and other disputed discovery issues, and expect that these issues will be resolved soon. In

4

addition, lead counsel for Lumentum has had to take a short leave due to the loss of his mother

5

on April 28, 2024. So that discovery may be further completed and remaining issues resolved

6

in advance of expert disclosures, the Parties agree that good cause exists to slightly modify the

7

Scheduling Order as set forth below. This request only seeks to modify the first five pre-trial

8

dates while keeping the trial date and remaining pre-trial dates the same:
