(collectively hereafter referred to as “Defendants” or “Silicon Power”) hereby present this joint motion seeking to continue the currently scheduled June 27, 2014 Early Neutral Evaluation Conference (“ENE”). Plaintiff and Defendants are collectively referred to herein as the “Parties.” No previous requests to continue the ENE have been made in this matter. II. BASIS FOR REQUEST FOR EXTENSION The Parties need additional time to meet and confer in this matter with respect to settlement and the joint discovery plan. It is believed that the Parties may be close to resolving this matter without assistance of the Court. As suchadditional time will allow the Parties to make more significant progress toward possible settlement. Counsel for the Defendants is also currently traveling out of the country and so additional time is needed to resume settlement discussions after said counsel returns. The Parties also need additional time to prepare and file their ENE briefs in this matter. As such, the Parties respectfully request to continue the ENE for 30 days or longer. It is not believed by the Parties that continuing the ENE will impact any other case management dates. III. CONCLUSION Accordingly, the Parties respectfully request that the ENE in this matter be continued to July 16, 2014 or whatever date is available on the Court’s calendar thereafter. Pursuant to Local Civil Rule 7.2, Plaintiff will separately submit a Case 3:13-cv-02935-H-BGS Document 20 Filed 06/03/14 Page 2 of 4 JOINT MOTION RE: CONTINUING ENE Case No. 3:13-cv-2935-H-BGS -HANDAL & ASSOCIATES 1200 THIRD AVE SUITE 1321 SAN DIEGO, CA 92101 TEL: 619.544.6400 FAX: 619.696.0323 Proposed Order granting the relief requested.
