TO THIS HONORABLE COURT AND ALL PARTIES AND THEIR COUNSEL OF RECORD HEREIN:

CIVIL L.R. 6-2 DECLARATION

In accordance with Civil Local Rule 6-2, I declare that good cause supports the parties' stipulated request for modifying the hearing date for Plaintiff Word to Info, Inc.'s Motion for Leave to Amend Infringement Contentions to May 25, 2016; the due date for Google Inc.'s opposition to that motion to April 19, 2016; and the due date for Word to Info, Inc.'s reply to May 4, 2016. The requested modifications will permit Google Inc.'s forthcoming cross-motion to strike Plaintiff's infringement contentions to be heard at the same time.

The parties previously stipulated to an extension of time to the date of February 12, 2016, for Facebook, Inc. to serve its Invalidity Contentions; the date of February 19, 2016, for Google Inc. to serve its Invalidity Contentions; the date of February 26, 2016, for the Exchange of Proposed Terms for Claim Construction; and the date of March 4, 2016, for the Exchange of Preliminary Constructions because Plaintiff and Defendant Google Inc. were meeting and conferring regarding Plaintiff's Infringement Contentions. The Court entered its order granting this stipulation on February 26, 2016.

The parties subsequently agreed to the date of March 18, 2016, for the Exchange of Preliminary Constructions and the date of April 1, 2016, for the submission of the parties' Joint Claim Construction and Prehearing Statement pursuant to Patent L.R. 4-3. The Court entered its order granting this stipulation on March 29, 2016.

The parties then agreed to the date of April 8, 2016, for the submission of the parties' Joint Claim Construction and Prehearing Statement pursuant to Patent L.R. 4-3. The Court entered its order granting this stipulation on April 4, 2016.

The current stipulated request to modify the hearing date for Plaintiff's motion as well as associated briefing dates does not change any other dates in the current schedule, including the scheduled claim construction hearing on June 17, 2016, and does not accelerate or extend any other time frames set in the Local Rules or in the Federal Rules.

The hearing date of Palintiff's Motion for Leave to Amend Infringement Contentions shall be May 18, 2016 at 2:00 p.m.

PURSUANT TO STIPULATION, IT IS SO ORDER as modified.
