`Re:
`
`Caris MPI, Inc. v. Foundation Medicine, Inc.
`Civil Action No. 1:17-cv-12194
`
`
`Dear Judge Stearns,
`
`We write as counsel for Defendant in the above-captioned patent infringement case.
`
`The Court recently set a date for a hearing on Defendant’s pending motion to dismiss on July 26,
`2019. See Dkt. 52. Although the issue may be moot in light of Defendant’s unopposed
`intervening motion to stay this litigation pending the recently instituted IPRs (Dkt. 52, 53), we
`write to bring to the Court’s attention a scheduling conflict with the hearing date set by the
`Court. I am lead counsel for Defendant, and I will be traveling internationally and unavailable
`on July 26, 2019.
`
`Should the Court wish to proceed with holding oral argument on the motion to dismiss despite
`the unopposed motion for a stay of this matter, we respectfully request that the Court set a new
`date for the hearing. To that end, the we have conferred with counsel for Plaintiff, and both
`Parties are available on any of the following dates: August 14, 15, 16, 21, and 22.
`
`
`
`
`

`
`
`
`
`Respectfully submitted,
`
`
