`CERTIFICATE OF CONSULTATION
`
`The undersigned attorney hereby certifies that prior to the filing of the foregoing motion,
`
`substantive consultation was held between the undersigned and Richard Carter, counsel for
`
`plaintiff B.E. Technology, over multiple days culminating in a telephone discussion on February
`
`7, 2013. At that time, B.E. Technology indicated that it would continue to oppose stay motions
`
`of the foregoing type in this and related cases. On the next afternoon, the Court granted several
`
`virtually identical motions for stay in related cases, and the undersigned re-contacted Mr. Carter
`
`to determine whether plaintiff would reconsider. At 3:16 p.m. on this date, February 11, Mr.

`
`sent to but “will not actively oppose” this stay motion.
