`WASHINGTON, D.C.
`
`Before The Honorable Cameron R. Elliot
`Administrative Law Judge
`
`In the Matter of
`
`CERTAIN ACTIVE ELECTRICAL Investigation No. 337-TA-1446
`CABLES AND COMPONENTS
`THEREOF
`
`JOINT MOTION TO AMEND THE PROCEDURAL SCHEDULE
`
`Pursuant to Ground Rule 2, Complainants Credo Semiconductor Inc. and Credo
`Technology Group Ltd. (collectively, “Credo”) and Respondents Molex, LLC and TE
`Connectivity Corporation (collectively, “Respondents™) (collectively, the “Moving Parties”)
`jointly move to amend the expert report deadlines and intervening exhibit list deadline in the
`procedural schedule in this Investigation. The Moving Parties’ proposed amendment does not
`move any dates other than these three deadlines. The Moving Parties are not proposing any change
`to the hearing dates.
`
`GROUND RULE 3.2 CERTIFICATION
`
`Pursuant to Ground Rule 3.2, the Moving Parties certify that they have met and conferred
`and file this Motion jointly. Counsel for Staff indicates that it does not oppose this Motion.
`MOTION
`On September 19, 2025, the ALJ issued Order No. 19 amending the procedural schedule.
`On October 1, 2025, the U.S. Government shut down (“Shutdown”). On November 12, 2025, the
`U.S. Government re-opened. During the Shutdown, certain discovery disputes raised by
`Complainants arose between the parties in this Investigation that they presented to the ALJ when
`
`the U.S. Government reopened. After the U.S. Government reopened, the ALJ held a Discovery
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Conference on November 18, 2025, during which both Complainants and Respondents requested
`permission to file motions to compel discovery. The ALJ granted permission to file motions to
`compel but no earlier than November 25, 2025. In the interim, the ALJ instructed the Parties to
`continue working to resolve the disputed issues. Nov. 18, 2025 Discovery Conf. Tr. at 14:10-13,
`15:21-16:4. The ALJ also noted that, if disputes that were affected by the Shutdown remain
`unresolved, “then that would be a very good reason to extend the deadline for expert reports.” Id.
`at 28:10-17.
`
`Since the Discovery Conference, Complainants and Respondents have continued their
`efforts to resolve their disputes, and have resolved the disputes raised by Complainants.
`Complainants assert that certain information to be provided based on the parties’ negotiated
`resolution to the disputes raised by Complainants will impact the upcoming expert reports. Thus,
`the Parties respectfully submit that good cause exists to extend the expert report deadlines.
`
`The Parties have conferred and now jointly present the Joint Proposed Amended
`Procedural Schedule for the remaining deadlines in this Investigation, attached to this Motion as
`Exhibit A. The Parties’ proposal seeks to amend only the deadlines for exchange of initial and
`rebuttal expert reports and the intervening deadline to exchange exhibit lists. All other deadlines
`remain the same.
`
`Wherefore, the Parties submit that there is good cause to amend the procedural schedule
`
`and respectfully request that the ALJ enter the proposed schedule, attached hereto as Exhibit A.
`
`Date: November 23, 2025 Respectfully submitted,
