`
`Case No. 2:19-CV-0209-JRG
`
`This case is set for a scheduling conference in Marshall, Texas on September 20, 2019 at
`
`1:30 p.m. before the Honorable Rodney Gilstrap. The purpose of the scheduling conference will
`
`be to assign a claim construction hearing date and a trial setting. The parties shall be prepared to
`
`inform the Court whether they will consent to trial before the Magistrate Judge.
`
`The parties shall prepare and submit a proposed docket control order, a proposed discovery
`
`order and a proposed protective order, within the time periods contained in the schedule set forth
`
`hereinafter.1 These orders shall be guided by the sample docket control, discovery, and protective
`
`orders for patent cases, which can be found on the Court’s website. The sample orders include
`
`provisions that require input from the parties. If the parties are unable to reach agreement on these
`
`provisions, then the parties shall submit to the Court their competing proposals along with a
`
`summary of their disagreements in a single joint submission.
`
`The sample orders include provisions that are mandatory and are not subject to change
`
`without showing good cause. Good cause shall not be considered to be met simply by an indication
`
`of the parties’ agreement. Should either party believe good cause can be shown to alter an
`
`otherwise mandatory provision, then such party shall file a separate motion to alter the provision
`
`
`1 Timely submission of the parties’ proposed docket control order, proposed discovery
`order and proposed protective order will be viewed by the Court as complying with the conference
`requirement of Rule 26(f).
