`
`Deadline to Complete Fact Discovery and File Motions to
`Compel Discovery
`
`In addition to these proposed amended deadlines, the parties seek the court’s permission to
`
`take the following depositions after the close of fact discovery.
`
`• Dr. Gregory Burnett (named inventor on all asserted patents and Rule 30(b)(6)
`
`witness for Plaintiff), originally scheduled for August 31 and September 1, but
`
`delayed to September 7 and 8 because of Covid cases within Plaintiff’s counsel’s
`
`team.
`
`• Daniel Setton (Rule 30(b)(6) witness for Plaintiff), originally scheduled for
`
`September 1, but delayed to September 7 and 8 (second day on behalf of Lionel
`
`Capital) based on witness availability.

`
`
`
`Case 2:21-cv-00186-JRG-RSP Document 167 Filed 09/02/22 Page 3 of 5 PageID #: 9644
`
`• Aliph Brands, JI Audio Holdings and JAWB Acquisition, third parties represented
`
`by Plaintiff’s counsel for which Defendants issued subpoenas on July 29. Daniel
`
`Setton was originally scheduled to testify on behalf of these entities. However,
`
`Plaintiff’s counsel informed Defendants on September 1 that Sason Gabay will
`
`instead testify on behalf of these entities. The Parties are conferring regarding the
`
`scheduling of these depositions.
`
`• Rachel Hager (Rule 30(b)(6) witness for Samsung Electronics America, Inc.,
`
`scheduled for September 9 based on witness availability.
`
`• York Eggleston (Rule 30(b)(6) witness for Plaintiff), originally scheduled for
`
`August 25, but delayed to September 13 and 14 because of Covid cases.
`
`• Houlihan Lokey, third party subpoenaed by defendants on August 12. Plaintiff’s
`
`counsel first appeared on behalf of Houlihan Lokey on August 29. The Parties are
`
`conferring regarding the scheduling of this deposition.
`
`The Parties also seek the Court’s permission to conduct review of source code from third-
`
`parties Shenzhen Goodix Technology Co, Ltd., Goodix Technology Inc., and Fortemedia, Inc.
`
`after the close of fact discovery.
`
`In the Third Amended Docket Control Order, the parties propose brief extensions to the
`
`deadlines for expert discovery, dispositive motions, and motions to strike expert testimony. Good
`
`cause exists for these extensions because certain key fact depositions have been rescheduled due
`
`to Covid cases. For example, Dr. Burnett’s deposition was scheduled to take place prior to the
`
`close of fact discovery, but had to be rescheduled because of Covid cases among Plaintiff’s
`
`counsel. In addition to being a named inventor on all six asserted patents, Plaintiff has designated
`
`Dr. Burnett for twenty-two Rule 30(b)(6) topics. As an additional example, Mr. Eggleston’s
`
`3
`
`
`
`Case 2:21-cv-00186-JRG-RSP Document 167 Filed 09/02/22 Page 4 of 5 PageID #: 9645
`
`deposition2 was originally scheduled to take place prior to the close of fact discovery, but had to
`
`be rescheduled because of Covid cases. Mr. Eggleston is designated on sixty-one Rule 30(b)(6)
`
`topics.
`
`As shown in the proposed Third Amended Docket Control Order, the parties do not propose
`
`changes to any dates after the date for responses to dispositive motions, and the requested relief
`
`does not impact the currently-scheduled trial date in this matter.
