`
`HON. TERRENCE G. BERG
`
`JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
`
`JOINT STIPULATION FOR A LIMITED EXTENSION
`OF THE FACT DISCOVERY DEADLINE
`
`Plaintiff Neo Wireless LLC (“Neo”) and Defendants General Motors Co. and
`
`General Motors LLC (collectively “GM”), Tesla, Inc. (“Tesla”), Honda Motor Co.,
`
`Inc. and Honda Development & Manufacturing of America, LLC (collectively
`
`“Honda”), Toyota Motor North America, Inc., Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. and
`
`Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America, Inc. and Toyota Motor
`
`Credit Corporation (collectively “Toyota”), Nissan North America Inc. and Nissan
`
`Motor Acceptance Corporation a/k/a Nissan Motor Acceptance Company LLC
`
`(collectively “Nissan”), Ford Motor Company (“Ford”), and FCA US LLC (“FCA”)
`
`(together, “Defendants”) jointly stipulate, subject to the approval of the Court, to a
`
`limited-purpose extension of the fact discovery deadline.

`

`Case 2:22-md-03034-TGB ECF No. 224, PageID.12235 Filed 01/25/24 Page 2 of 10
`
`
`
`Specifically, Defendants request that the Court approve a one-day extension
`
`through January 30, 2024, for the purpose of facilitating the deposition of third-party
`
`Avanci LLC (“Avanci”). Avanci has agreed to be deposed on January 30, 2024, and
`
`does not oppose Defendants’ request. Plaintiff Neo Wireless LLC does not oppose
`
`the Defendants’ request, and has filed its own motion for a broader two-week
`
`extension of the fact discovery period.1
`
`Good cause exists for this stipulation in that Avanci-related evidence is
`
`relevant at least to the damages determination in this case, and the proposed
`
`extension is necessary to accommodate Avanci. The parties’ proposed extension in
`
`this stipulation would apply only to the deposition of Avanci.
`
`
`
`Dated: January 25, 2024
`
` Respectfully submitted,
`
`
`1 Neo states that in addition to this Avanci deposition, Honda, Ford, and Nissan
`have asked that certain of their party depositions take place after the close of
`discovery. And Neo has also been attempting to confer with Defendants about
`issues with other third-party discovery for several weeks, but except as to Toyota
`and FCA, those issues may be unresolved by the close of discovery. Neo proposed
`that the parties continue conferring to determine if one filing could resolve all the
`outstanding issues, but counsel for Honda insisted on filing this stipulation first.
`Because Neo does not oppose the relief sought, it does not oppose the stipulation.
