`
`Case No. 6:17-cv-01217
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`LOGANTREE LP,
`
` Plaintiff,
`vs.
`
`GARMIN INTERNATIONAL, INC. and
`GARMIN USA, INC.,
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Defendants.
`
`GARMIN INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND GARMIN USA, INC.’S NOTICE TO THE
`COURT AND MOTION TO VACATE DEADLINES
`
`Garmin files this notice and motion to inform the Court that LoganTree notified Garmin of
`
`
`
`the passing of LoganTree’s principal officer, Theodore Brann, on Tuesday, August 31, 2021. Due
`
`to Mr. Brann’s passing, the parties have been unable to complete their meet and confer process
`
`relating to the Court’s August 5 Order (Dkt. 138) regarding reasonable attorneys’ fees for Garmin’s
`
`motion for protective order and the other issues. Under that Order, Garmin’s motion for attorneys’
`
`fees is due on September 3, 2021. Prior to the Mr. Brann’s passing, the parties were engaged in
`
`the meet and confer process and were discussing resolution of all issues currently pending before
`
`the Court—attorneys’ fees, source code printouts, and expert report deadlines. The parties were
`
`making good progress on resolution of these issues but were unable to complete that process due
`
`to the death of LoganTree’s principal officer.
`
`
`
`Given Mr. Brann’s death, Garmin requests that the Court vacate the current deadlines from
`
`its August 5 Order (Dkt. 138), as well as the remaining deadlines in the case (Dkt. 110) or,
`
`alternatively, extend the deadlines under Local Rule 6.1 to allow LoganTree time to appoint a new
`
`principal officer. Garmin further requests that the Court grant the parties 30 days to provide a status
`
`
`
`Case 6:17-cv-01217-EFM-ADM Document 140 Filed 09/02/21 Page 2 of 3
`
`report, so that LoganTree may regroup with its new principal officer and the parties can resume
`
`their meet and confer process. Garmin believes the parties were engaging in the meet and confer
`
`process in good faith and further believes the parties can reach a resolution to at least some of the
`
`issues, if LoganTree is given additional time to re-engage in these discussions. Garmin’s request
`
`is not sought for delay or any dilatory motive, and the death of Mr. Brann constitutes good cause
`
`to delay and extend the remaining deadlines in the case.
`
`
`
`Garmin discussed this proposal on a call on September 1, 2021, with LoganTree’s counsel
`
`but was informed he presently had no authority to respond to the proposal.
