`
`
`B.E. TECHNOLOGY, LLC,
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Plaintiff,
`
`

`
`
`
`
`v.

`
`APPLE INC.,
`

`

`
`
`

`
`
`
`
`
`ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR ORAL ARGUMENT
`
`
`
`Before the Court is Plaintiff B.E. Technology, LLC’s (“B.E. Technology”) Motion for
`
`Oral Argument (ECF No. 43), filed March 18, 2013. B.E. Technology seeks oral argument
`
`regarding Defendant Apple Inc.’s (“Defendant” or “Apple”) Motion to Change Venue (ECF No.
`
`22), filed December 20, 2012. Plaintiff filed its Response in Opposition to Defendant’s Motion
`
`(ECF No. 30) on January 7, 2013. With leave of Court, Defendant filed its Reply (ECF No. 39)
`
`on January 29, 2013.
`
`B.E. Technology asserts that an oral hearing on the Motion will “enable [Plaintiff]
`
`adequately to respond to the arguments and evidence presented by [Apple’s] reply memoranda,”
`
`and “provide the Court a forum to ask any questions it may have before deciding these important
`
`issues.” (ECF No. 43 at 1–2.) Pursuant to Local Patent Rule 1.2 and Local Rule 7.2(d), the
`
`Court finds that a hearing is not necessary. Plaintiff’s Motion is, therefore, DENIED.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`IT IS SO ORDERED this 4th day of April, 2013.
