`
`MICROSOFT CORPORATION,
`

`
`
`
`
`MICROSOFT CORPORATION’S UNOPPOSED MOTION AND MEMORANDUM FOR
`EXTENSION TO SET A SINGLE DATE TO RESPOND TO B.E. TECHNOLOGY,
`L.L.C.'S MOTION TO DISMISS UNDER FED. R. CIV. P. 12(B)(6) AND MOTION TO
`STRIKE UNDER FED. R. CIV. P. 12(F)
`
`COMES NOW Microsoft Corporation, by and through the undersigned counsel, and
`
`respectfully moves the Court pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b)(1)(A) for an extension of time, up
`
`to and including February 25, 2013, to file a response to the Motion to Strike portion of Plaintiff
`
`B.E. Technology, L.L.C.'s combined Motion so that the time to respond is the same for both
`
`portions of B.E. Technology's combined Motion. In support of this Motion, Microsoft states as
`
`follows:
`
`On January 25, 2013, B.E. Technology filed a combined Motion to Dismiss and Strike
`
`and supporting Memorandum. (See Dkt. No. 34.) Under Local Rule 7.2(a)(2), a response to a
`
`motion to strike must be filed within 14 days after service of the motion, (see Local Rule
`
`7.2(a)(2)), while a response to a motion to dismiss must be filed within 28 days after service of
`
`the motion under Local Rule 12.1. Thus, under the Local Rules, Microsoft would be required to
`
`respond to the Motion to Strike portion of B.E. Technology’s brief on February 11, 2013 (14
`
`days from filing, plus three additional days for electronic service under Local Rule 6.1 and
`
` M
`
` AB1 2378794 v1
`2788958-000014 02/08/2013
`
`
`
`Case 2:12-cv-02829-JPM-tmp Document 39 Filed 02/08/13 Page 2 of 3 PageID 447
`
`
`Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 6(d) and 5(b)(2)(E)). Microsoft would then be required to
`
`respond to the Motion to Dismiss portion of B.E. Technology’s brief on February 25, 2013 (28
`
`days from filing, plus three additional days for electronic service). Through this Motion,
`
`Microsoft simply seeks, to the extent necessary, to have the due date for its response to B.E.
`
`Technology's combined Motion be the same day so that multiple responses need not be filed.
`
`Setting a single date by which Microsoft must respond to both the Motion to Strike portion and
`
`Motion to Dismiss portion of B.E. Technology's combined Motion would help streamline its
`
`response to B.E. Technology's Motion to Dismiss and Strike, reduce litigation costs, and
`
`conserve time and resources.
`
`B.E. Technology does not oppose this extension of time. Further, this Motion is made
`
`prior to the expiration of Microsoft's original time to respond to B.E. Technology’s Motion to
`
`Dismiss and Strike. Microsoft has sought no prior extension of time to respond to this Motion.
`
`Accordingly, Microsoft respectfully requests that this Court grant Microsoft an extension
`
`of time to file a response to the Motion to Strike portion of B.E. Technology’s combined Motion
`
`up to and including February 25, 2013, so that it may correspond with its deadline to respond to
`
`the Motion to Dismiss portion of B.E. Technology's combined Motion.
`
`A proposed order granting the extension of time is being submitted via electronic mail to
`
`
`
`Respectfully submitted,
