`
`
`
`
`Plaintiff NuVasive, Inc. (“NuVasive”) and defendants Alphatec Spine, Inc.
`and Alphatec Holdings, Inc. (collectively, “Alphatec”), by and through their
`respective counsel, jointly request that the Court continue the hearing on NuVasive’s
`Motion to Strike Alphatec’s Invalidity Contentions (“Motion”) (Doc. No. 296) to
`January 22, 2021.
`NuVasive filed its Motion on November 25, 2020. Pursuant to Section II.A
`of this Court’s chambers rules, the noticed hearing date on NuVasive’s Motion is
`currently set for December 30, 2020, or thirty-five days from filing. Per the local
`rules, the parties’ briefing schedule follows from the noticed motion hearing date as
`follows:

`
`
`• Alphatec’s opposition is currently due on December 16, 2020; and
`• NuVasive’s reply is currently due on December 23, 2020.
`Because Alphatec’s opposition is due just two days before its rebuttal expert
`report deadline of December 18, 2020 (see Doc. No. 293 at 2), and because the
`parties desire to avoid briefing a motion immediately surrounding another deadline
`and the late-December holiday schedule, the parties ask that the Court continue the
`December 30, 2020 hearing date on NuVasive’s Motion to January 22, 2021 in order
`to extend the briefing schedule. Under the local rules, therefore, the parties’ new
`briefing schedule would be as follows:
`• Alphatec’s opposition would be due on January 8, 2021; and
`• NuVasive’s reply would be due on January 15, 2021.
`This briefing schedule will not impact any other dates on the case schedule. The
`parties have not requested oral argument at this time. To the extent that the Court
`orders oral argument, the parties request that it take place on, but not later than,
`January 22, 2021, if this Court’s schedule allows.
`Accordingly, good cause exists to continue the hearing on NuVasive’s Motion
`to January 22, 2021.
