`
`Re: Warner Chilcott Company, LLC v. My/an Inc., et al.,
`Civil Action No. 3:13-cv-6560 (JAP-TJB)
`
`Dear Judge Bongiovanni:
`
`Pursuant to Your Honor's direction during the August 21, 2014
`teleconference, we write on behalf of both parties to submit the enclosed
`proposed schedule to govern the remainder of this case.
`
`As the attached schedule reflects, the parties have determined that
`at this time, claim construction will not be necessary and, therefore,
`propose bypassing the various claim construction proceedings provided
`by the Local Patent Rules.
`
`The parties also propose a four-month stay, following the
`submission of Plaintiffs infringement contentions and responses to
`Defendants' invalidity contentions. The stay, from November 1, 2014, to
`March 2, 2015, should allow time for the Federal Circuit to resolve the
`appeal of the district court's judgment in favor of Warner Chilcott in the
`consolidated cases of Warner Chilcott Co., LLC v. Amneal Pharm., LLC (12-
`cv-02928) and Warner Chilcott Co., LLC v. Lupin Ltd. (11-cv-05048).
`Because the appeal involves the same patent and generic versions of the
`same Lo Loestrin product that is the subject of Warner Chilcott's NDA No.
`22-501 at issue in this case, the parties agree that the Federal Circuit's
`resolution of that case could impact the issues here. The Federal Circuit
`appeal is fully briefed and scheduled for oral argument on October 9,

`
`2014. To the extent the Federal Circuit renders its decision during the
`pendency of the parties' stay or alternatively the other generic companies
`settle their respective, related actions, either party can request to have
`the stay lifted.
`
`If the proposed schedule meets with Your Honor's approval, we ask
`that a scheduling order be entered accordingly. The parties are 1available
`to discuss the schedule or any other matter at the Court's convenience.
