`Case 2:13-cv-01059-JRG-RSP Document 48 Filed 02/28/14 Page 1 of 5 PageID #: 777
`
`IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
`FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS
`MARSHALL DIVISION
`
`
`SOLOCRON MEDIA, LLC,
`
`
`Plaintiff,
`
`
`STIPULATION OF DISMISSAL WITHOUT
`PREJUDICE AS TO DEFENDANT AT&T INC.
`
`Plaintiff Solocron Media, LLC (“Solocron”) and Defendants AT&T Inc. and AT&T
`
`Mobility LLC submit the following Stipulation of Dismissal Without Prejudice as to Defendant
`
`AT&T Inc. and in support thereof state:
`
`1. On December 6, 2013, Plaintiff Solocron filed suit against AT&T Inc. (“AT&T Inc.”),
`
`AT&T Mobility LLC (“AT&T Mobility”), and others alleging infringement of U.S.
`
`Patent Nos. 6,496,692, 7,257,395, 7,295,864, 7,319,866, 7,742,759, 8,249,572, and
`
`8,594,651.
`
`2. AT&T Inc. and AT&T Mobility represent and warrant that:
`
`a. AT&T Inc. is a holding company that has no employees, sales representatives,
`
`or distributors. Furthermore, AT&T Inc. does not instruct, direct, or control
`
`the activities of its subsidiaries (or any other entity) relevant to operations or
`
`design of any systems or services.

`

`Case 2:13-cv-01059-JRG-RSP Document 48 Filed 02/28/14 Page 2 of 5 PageID #: 778
`
`b. AT&T Inc. and AT&T Mobility agree that for purposes of discovery in this
`
`case, documents and information in the possession, custody or control of
`
`AT&T Inc. is deemed also to be in the possession, custody and control of
`
`AT&T Mobility. AT&T Mobility will not object to a request for deposition on
`
`the grounds that the prospective deponent is an employee of AT&T Inc.
`
`(though nothing in this stipulation prevents AT&T Mobility from objecting to
`
`a deposition on other grounds).
`
`c. AT&T Mobility or any assignee of AT&T Mobility is able to satisfy any
`
`judgment against it in this case. AT&T Inc. and AT&T Mobility each warrant
`
`and represent that they will not take any action that will cause AT&T Mobility
`
`to be unable to fully satisfy any judgment entered in this case.
`
`d. AT&T Mobility will respond to Solocron’s First Amended Complaint on or
`
`before Friday, February 28, 2014.
`
`e. AT&T Mobility will not dispute that The United States District Court for the
`
`Eastern District of Texas has personal jurisdiction over it for purposes of this
`
`case.
`
`f. The acts alleged in Plaintiff's First Amended Complaint, to the extent that
`
`AT&T Inc. understands them, would be attributable to AT&T Mobility and
`
`not to AT&T Inc.; this representation is made without any admission to the
`
`truth or falsity of Plaintiff's allegations in Plaintiff's First Amended
`
`Complaint.
`
`g. AT&T Inc. and AT&T Mobility agree that they will not object to the
`
`timeliness of Plaintiff's attempt to add AT&T Inc. back into this litigation in
`
`
`

`
`

`

`Case 2:13-cv-01059-JRG-RSP Document 48 Filed 02/28/14 Page 3 of 5 PageID #: 779
`
`the event Plaintiff so moves. AT&T Inc. and AT&T Mobility preserve all
`
`objections but for timeliness to such potential motion, including but not
`
`limited to objections regarding the Court's personal jurisdiction (or lack of
`
`personal jurisdiction) over AT&T Inc. AT&T Mobility also agrees not to seek
`
`the extension of any case schedule or deadlines as a result of adding AT&T
`
`Inc. back into this litigation.
`
`h. AT&T Inc. agrees that it will not file a Declaratory Judgment action outside of
`
`and during the pending litigation relating to the patents and claims that were
`
`asserted against AT&T Inc. and AT&T Mobility in this action, other than as a
`
`counterclaim.
`
`3. In reliance upon the representations and warranties made in paragraphs 2(a) – 2(h)
`
`above, Solocron agrees to dismiss AT&T Inc. without prejudice as allowed under
`
`Rule 41(a)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
`
`4. Solocron has not released, and nothing in this Stipulation should be construed as a
`
`release or discharge of, any claim Solocron has or may have in the future against any
`
`defendant named in this action or any other asserted infringer of the patents-in-suit.
`
`All other rights have been expressly reserved.
`
`Accordingly, Solocron, AT&T Inc. and AT&T Mobility LLC request that the Court enter
`
`the attached order dismissing AT&T Inc. without prejudice.
