`
`COMCAST’S NOTICE OF TRIAL CONFLICT
`
`Defendants Comcast Cable Communications, LLC, Comcast Corporation, Comcast
`
`Cable Communications Management, LLC, and Comcast of Houston, LLC (collectively
`
`“Comcast”) respectfully submit this Notice to inform the Court of a trial conflict involving its
`
`technical expert, Dr. Kevin Jeffay, Ph.D., and request rescheduling of the Comcast member case.
`
`The Comcast member case was not included in the Court’s December 13, 2024 email
`
`laying out its trial calendar for January 13, 2025. However, counsel learned during the
`
`December 19, 2024 pretrial conference that the instant case is on the trial list for that date.
`
`As explained during the pretrial conference, Dr. Jeffay is scheduled to testify as an expert
`
`witness in Corrigent Corp. v. Cisco Sys., Inc., No. 6:22-cv-00396-ADA (W.D. Tex.) beginning
`
`that same day. That trial was scheduled before the rescheduling of, and recent notice regarding,
`
`this case. Due to this conflict, the Magistrate Judge indicated that Touchstream Techs., Inc. v.
`

`
`
`
`Case 2:23-cv-00059-JRG-RSP Document 232 Filed 12/20/24 Page 2 of 3 PageID #:

`
`Charter Comm’s, Inc., No. 2:23-cv-0059 would proceed to trial ahead of the Comcast member
`
`case should the Touchstream consolidated cases have a trial on January 13.
`
`Comcast thus respectfully requests that the trial in the member Comcast case be
`
`continued to January 27, 2025 or as soon a date thereafter as the Court deems appropriate.
