`
`IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
`FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS
`WACO DIVISION
`
`Plaintiff,
`
`v.
`
`DODOTS LICENSING SOLUTIONS LLC,
`
`
`
`
`
`SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO.,
`LTD., SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS
`AMERICA, INC., BEST BUY STORES,
`L.P., BESTBUY.COM, LLC, AND
`BEST BUY TEXAS.COM, LLC,
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Case No. 6:22-cv-00535-ADA-DTG
`
`Defendants.
`
`DEFENDANTS’ UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR LEAVE
`TO EXTEND DEADLINE FOR MOTION TO TRANSFER VENUE
`
`Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 6(b) and this Court’s Standard Order
`
`Governing Proceedings 4.2 § VI, Defendants Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (“SEC”) and
`
`Samsung Electronics America, Inc. (“SEA”) (collectively, “Samsung”), Best Buy Stores, L.P.,
`
`Bestbuy.com, LLC, and Best Buy Texas.com, LLC (collectively, “Best Buy”) (together,
`
`“Defendants”) hereby move to seek leave of Court to extend by one week the deadline to file
`
`Defendants’ Motion to Transfer Venue. Counsel for Plaintiff has indicated that Plaintiff does not
`
`oppose this extension request.
`
`Good cause supports the present motion. Plaintiff filed the parties’ Case Readiness Status
`
`Report on November 29, 2022 in this case, see Dkt. 54, and on November 30, 2022 in the related
`
`case DoDots Licensing Solutions LLC v. Apple Inc., No 6:22-cv-00533 (W.D. Tex. Nov. 30, 2022),
`
`Dkt. 54. These filings established the current Motion to Transfer Venue deadline of January 4,
`
`2022. In the time since this deadline was set, Samsung has diligently attempted to identify the
`
`1
`
`
`
`Case 6:22-cv-00535-ADA Document 56 Filed 12/29/22 Page 2 of 4
`
`correct declarant or group of declarants to establish several facts in support of Defendants’ Motion
`
`to Transfer Venue. These efforts have been slowed due to one of Samsung’s intended declarants
`
`separating from Samsung and alternative declarant unavailability during the winter holiday season.
`
`Defendants therefore seek one additional week to file their Motion to Transfer Venue to ensure the
`
`ability to secure the appropriate declarants.
`
`This motion is not brought for the purpose of delay or any other improper purpose. Rather,
`
`this motion is presented so that Defendants may fully brief and present the transfer facts for the
`
`Court. The undersigned certifies that this extension does not change the date for any hearing, any
`
`final submission to the Court related to a hearing, or the trial.
`
`Accordingly, Defendants respectfully present this unopposed request for a one-week
`
`extension up to and including January 11, 2023 to file its Motion to Transfer Venue.
`
`
`
`Dated: December 29, 2022
`
`Respectfully submitted,
