MAXINE M. CHESNEY, District Judge.
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, pursuant to Local Rule 6-2, by and among Plaintiff Power Integrations, Inc. ("Power Integrations") and Defendants Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc., Fairchild Semiconductor Corp., and Fairchild (Taiwan) Corp. (collectively, "Fairchild"), as follows:
Since the time of the prior hearing on August 26, 2016, the parties have continued to discuss the possibility of staying the instant lawsuit to stage the resolution of their pending disputes. The parties have not yet been able to finalize a specific plan at this time, but they are making progress in that regard since Fairchild's acquisition by ON Semiconductor was completed on September 19, 2016. As such, the parties respectfully stipulate and request, subject to the Court's approval, that the case management conference currently scheduled for Oct. 14, 2016 be rescheduled to November 18, 2016, to permit the parties to continue their discussions. The parties believe this will make the most efficient use of both the Court's and the parties' resources, and the parties will be in a position to submit an updated status report and joint case management conference statement to the Court no later than November 11, 2016.
The only prior modifications to the Court's schedule in this case have been to accommodate a scheduling conflict for Fairchild's counsel and to provide Power Integrations more time to evaluate Fairchild's counterclaims (Dkt. No. 59) and to extend the initial case management conference to permit the parties to evaluate the possibility of a stay and the import of Fairchild's acquisition (Dkt. No. 68).
Given the early stage of this case, the requested time modification will not have any impact on the schedule for this case.
THEREFORE, Power Integrations and Fairchild stipulate and respectfully request that the Court reschedule the initial case management conference to November 18, 2016.
I hereby attest under penalty of perjury that concurrence in the filing of this document has been obtained from counsel for Defendants.
