`
`IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
`FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS
`TEXARKANA DIVISION
`
`MAXELL, LTD.,
`
`
`
`v.
`
`APPLE INC.,
`
`Plaintiff,
`
`Defendant.
`
`Case No. 5:19-cv-0036-RWS
`
`
`JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
`
`
`
`JOINT MOTION TO PARTIALLY AMEND DOCKET CONTROL ORDER
`
`
`Plaintiff Maxell, Ltd. and Defendant Apple Inc. (collectively the “Parties”) hereby jointly
`
`move to amend the current Docket Control Order (Dkt. No. 283), as amended by the Court’s
`
`August 10, 2020 Order (Dkt. No. 495), in the above-captioned matter with respect to the timing
`
`of certain pre-trial filings only.
`
`Certain deadlines in the current Docket Control Order were set in order to take place a
`
`specific number of weeks in advance of the Pre-Trial Conference, which was originally
`
`scheduled for October 6, 2020. On August 10, 2020, the Court issued an Order resetting the Pre-
`
`Trial Conference to November 12, 2020. Dkt. No. 495. The Order also reset the dates for Jury
`
`Selection and Jury Trial. Id. Although the Order “does not affect any pending deadlines in the
`
`Docket Control Order other than the pretrial conference and trial dates,” the Court has allowed
`
`the parties to “move to amend other pending deadlines, if deemed necessary, within seven days
`
`of entry of th[e] Order.” Id.
`
`Because the Pre-Trial Conference has been reset, the Parties respectfully request that the
`
`dates based thereon be amended as well. The dates currently set for the Dispositive Motion
`
`Hearing, Pre-Trial Conference, Jury Selection, and Jury Trial will not be impacted by the
`
`
`
`
`
`Case 5:19-cv-00036-RWS Document 500 Filed 08/14/20 Page 2 of 6 PageID #: 26938
`
`
`requested amendments.
