* * *

The undersigned parties jointly and respectfully request that the Court enter this stipulation as an order.

PURSUANT TO STIPULATION, IT IS SO ORDERED.

Pursuant to Local Rule 5-1(i), the filer attests that the concurrence in the filing of this document has been obtained from each of the above signatories.

FootNotes


1. The California Attorney General joins in this stipulation, but only insofar as it concerns the close of fact and expert discovery on Defendants and the date of expert reports.
2. The following Defendants do not join in this stipulation: Technicolor SA (f/k/a Thomson SA), Technicolor USA, Inc. (f/k/a Thomson Consumer Electronics, Inc.), Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America, Inc., and Mitsubishi Electric US, Inc. (f/k/a Mitsubishi Electric and Electronics, USA, Inc.). The Court ruled only last week on the motions to dismiss filed by the Thomson and Mitsubishi defendants. Having not been parties to the previous scheduling orders in these matters, they obviously need to work with their clients, plaintiffs and the Court to determine the schedule going forward and therefore do not join in this stipulation at this time.
