`
`Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-12, Plaintiff Sandoz Inc. (“Sandoz”) and Defendants
`Amgen Inc. and Amgen Manufacturing, Limited (collectively, “Amgen”), through their
`undersigned counsel, hereby stipulate as follows:
`WHEREAS, Sandoz filed a Complaint for Declaratory Judgment of Patent
`Noninfringement and Invalidity (ECF No. 1) with respect to Sandoz’s biosimilar filgrastim and
`pegfilgrastim products on February 21, 2019;
`WHEREAS, Amgen filed a Motion to Dismiss (ECF No. 22) on April 24, 2019;
`WHEREAS, Sandoz intends to oppose the Motion to Dismiss;
`WHEREAS, the parties agree that it would promote judicial economy and conserve the
`resources of the Court and the parties to defer discovery and disclosures until after the Motion to
`Dismiss is resolved;
`NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby stipulate and request that the Court stay
`discovery and disclosures as follows:
`While the Motion to Dismiss is pending, all deadlines shall be stayed for: (a)
`1.
`responding to discovery requests pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26 through 37; (b) initial disclosures
`pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(1); and (c) contentions and disclosures pursuant to Patent Local
`Rules 3-1 through 3-9.
`If the Motion to Dismiss is denied, the parties shall promptly meet and confer on a
`2.
`schedule for completing the stayed discovery and disclosures, with the deadlines for disclosures
`and contentions beginning no later than 30 days after the ruling on the Motion to Dismiss. The
`parties shall submit their proposed schedule to the Court within 10 days after the ruling on the
`Motion to Dismiss.
