`Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc. v. Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC, et al.,
`Civil Action No. 13-391 (ESMAD)
`
`Dear Judge Dickson:
`
`This firm, together with Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, LLP and Richard G. Greco
`PC, represents plaintiffs Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Jazz Pharmaceuticals Ireland Limited
`(collectively, “Jazz”) in the above-captioned action. We write on behalf of all parties.
`
`The parties have been working diligently to complete fact discovery. Nevertheless,
`because of the number of parties involved and the remaining outstanding discovery issues, the
`parties believe that some additional time will be necessary to complete fact discovery and,
`ultimately, prepare this case for trial. Accordingly, the parties have agreed, subject to Your
`Honor’s approval, to the following modifications to the current case schedule:

`
`As Your Honor can see, the parties’ agreed-upon schedule will result in only a little more
`than a one-month overall extension of the schedule, which we believe is reasonable in light of
`the numerous complex issues involved. If this schedule meets with Your Honor’s approval, the
`parties respectftu request that Your Honor sign the below form of endorsement and have it
`entered on the docket.
`
`Thank you for Your Honor’s kind attention to this matter.
