`
`
`
`IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
`FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS
`TYLER DIVISION
`
`
`
`
`
`Plaintiffs,
`
`
`
`
`
`
` Civil Action No. 6:15-cv-907
`
`
`
`
`SIPCO, LLC, and IP CO, LLC
`(d/b/a INTUS IQ),
`
`
`
` v.
`
`EMERSON ELECTRIC CO., EMERSON
`PROCESS MANAGEMENT LLLP, FISHER-
`ROSEMOUNT SYSTEMS, INC.,
`ROSEMOUNT INC., BP, p.l.c., BP
`AMERICA, INC., and BP AMERICA
`PRODUCTION COMPANY,
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Defendants.
`
`
`
`
`JOINT MOTION FOR AN EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE PROPOSED DOCKET
`CONTROL ORDER AND PROPOSED DISCOVERY ORDER
`
`Plaintiffs SIPCO, LLC and IP Co, LLC (d/b/a INTUS IQ) (collectively “Plaintiffs” or
`
`“SIPCO”) and Defendants Emerson Electric Co., Emerson Process Management LLLP, Fisher-
`
`Rosemount Systems, Inc., Rosemount, Inc., BP America, Inc., and BP America Production
`
`Company (collectively “Defendants”)1 hereby jointly move for a one week extension of the
`
`deadline for filing the Proposed Docket Control Order and Proposed Discovery Order from
`
`March 7, 2016 to March 14, 2016. As grounds for this joint motion, the parties state as follows:
`
`1.
`
`On February 22, 2016, the Honorable Rodney Gilstrap conducted a Scheduling
`
`Conference and issued a Sample Docket Control Order For Patent Cases Assigned To Judge
`
`Rodney Gilstrap (“Judge Gilstrap’s Sample Docket Control Order”). (Ex. A).
`
`
`1 Defendant BP, p.l.c. is a foreign entity. It has not been served with the First Amended Complaint. Plaintiffs’
`counsel is working with counsel for BP America, Inc. and BP America Production Company regarding the status of
`BP, p.l.c. in this case.
`
`
`
`

`
`
`
`2.
`
`On March 1, 2016, this cause was reassigned to the Honorable Robert W.
`
`Schroeder III. (Dkt. No. 55).
`
`3.
`
`The parties are now in the process of incorporating as much of the matching dates
`
`and events as possible from Judge Gilstrap’s Sample Docket Control Order into this Court’s
`
`Sample Docket Control Order.
`
`4.
`
`Some of the dates and events in Judge Gilstrap’s Sample Docket Control Order,
`
`however, are difficult to translate to the dates and events in this Court’s Sample Docket Control
`
`Order.
`
`5.
`
`Because this cause was reassigned to this Court in close proximity to the March 7,
`
`2016, due date for the filing of the Proposed Docket Control Order and Proposed Discovery
`
`Order, the parties respectfully submit that additional time is needed to perform this task, and to
`
`review, revise and complete this Court’s Proposed Docket Control Order and Proposed
`
`Discovery Order.
`
`6.
`
`Accordingly, the parties submit that good cause exists for a one week extension of
`
`time to file the Proposed Docket Control Order and Proposed Discovery Order, and respectfully
`
`request the Court to extend the deadline for filing same from March 7, 2016 to March 14, 2017.
`
`7.
`
`Extending this deadline will not prejudice either party.
`
`Wherefore, for the reasons set forth herein, the parties respectfully request the Court to
`
`Grant this motion and extend the deadline for filing the Proposed Docket Control Order and
`
`Proposed Discovery Order from March 7, 2016 to March 14, 2017.
