`ORDER APPOINTING SPECIAL MASTER
`
`The Court APPOINTS Dr. Joshua J. Yi as Special Master for the purpose of conducting
`
`claim construction proceedings in the above-styled cause pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 53 and directs
`
`the Special Master to proceed with all reasonable diligence. The Special Master will preside over
`
`the claim construction proceedings and submit to the Court a Report and Recommendation. The
`
`Court shall review the Special Master’s Report and Recommendation, as well as any timely-filed
`
`objections by the parties, in a manner mirroring Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72 and 28 U.S.C.
`
`§ 636. As a record of activities, the Special Master shall preserve all written submissions received
`
`from the parties.
`
`
`
`Case 6:20-cv-00945-ADA Document 45 Filed 10/25/21 Page 2 of 3
`
`After reviewing the Special Master’s curriculum vitae, the Court concludes that the Special
`
`Master is well-qualified to effectively and timely address this matter. An investigation by the
`
`Court reveals the Special Master has no conflicts of interest requiring disqualification, and the
`
`Special Master has already confirmed by affidavit that there is no ground for disqualification under
`
`28 U.S.C. § 455. The Court has provided the parties notice of the appointment and received no
`
`objections. The Court therefore finds the Special Master is qualified to serve in this case, and the
`
`appointment is therefore effective immediately. The parties shall send courtesy copies of claim
`
`construction briefs, exhibits, and technology tutorials in the format requested by the Special
`
`Master.
`
`In furtherance of his duties, the Special Master may communicate ex parte with the Court
`
`on any matter. The Special Master may not communicate ex parte with the parties (except to
`
`arrange scheduling matters) without the consent of all parties.
`
`The Court has considered the fairness of imposing the likely expenses on the parties and
`
`has taken steps to protect against unreasonable expense or delay. The Special Master’s hourly rate
`
`shall be $750 per hour. The Special Master’s compensation, as well as any costs and expenses,
`
`will be paid equally by the parties unless the Court decides to reallocate. Upon entry of order to
`
`pay fees, the parties shall pay the Special Master directly within fourteen (14) days of the order.
`
`If the Special Master finds that he needs the assistance of any paralegal or lawyer in his office, that
`
`expense shall be billed by the Special Master at the ordinary rates for those people. Any dispute
`
`regarding the Special Master’s fees for his services as Special Master shall be brought before this
`
`Court.
