ORDER STIPULATION AS MODIFIED BY THE COURT

WHEREAS this is an action between Plaintiffs/Counter-Defendants Lucasfilm Ltd. LLC and Lucasfilm Entertainment Ltd. LLC (collectively, "Lucasfilm") and Defendants/Counter-Plaintiffs Ren Ventures Ltd. and Sabacc Creative Industries Ltd. (collectively, "Defendants");

WHEREAS this action was filed less than six months ago, on December 21, 2017;

WHEREAS the parties have been diligently working to complete discovery and the speedy resolution of their claims;

WHEREAS for the following reasons, the parties respectfully request that this Court grant the eight-week extension of discovery and other deadlines as set forth below;

WHEREAS even with the requested extension, the parties will conclude discovery within six months of the initial case management conference;

WHEREAS this is the parties' first request for an extension of time regarding these discovery and other case deadlines;

WHEREAS Defendants recently filed counterclaims requiring additional discovery;

WHEREAS at the recent deposition of Defendants' principal and corporate representative on May 24 and 25, 2018, counsel for Defendants agreed to search for and produce additional documents identified at the deposition, a number of which Lucasfilm anticipates will be needed for expert discovery;

WHEREAS Lucasfilm anticipates it also may need some additional third party discovery depending on Defendants' supplemental document production;

WHEREAS the depositions of Defendants' principal and corporate representative remain open, and Lucasfilm anticipates needing to obtain additional deposition testimony;

WHEREAS Defendants recently served Lucasfilm with corporate deposition notices, and the parties believe due to scheduling conflicts it will be difficult to complete those depositions within the existing close of fact discovery;

WHEREAS Defendants' counsel responsible for attending the hearing and defending Lucasfilm's partial motion for summary judgment on its copyright claim has professional obligations that prevent him from attending the June 21, 2018 hearing;

WHEREAS this is the parties' first request for an extension of time regarding Lucasfilm's partial motion for summary judgment;
