`MARSHALL DIVISION
`
`CIVIL ACTION NO. 2:19-CV-00115-JRG
`
`§§§§§§§§§§
`
`SEVEN NETWORKS, LLC,
`
`v.
`
`APPLE INC,
`
`Plaintiff,
`
`Defendant.
`
`ORDER
`Before the Court is the parties’ Joint Motion to Amend the Docket Control Order (the
`
`“Motion”). (Dkt. No. 113.) In the Motion, the parties request a 45 day extension in light of the
`
`global health crisis related to the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic.
`
`(Id. at 1.) The
`
`parties note that in light of the pandemic and associated shelter-in-place orders, the parties are
`
`having difficulty conducting depositions and reviewing source code. (Id. at 5-7.) The Court urges
`
`that the parties explore conducting electronic depositions, noting that nothing precludes the parties
`
`from requesting relief to reconduct depositions in a more favorable format at a later date.
`
`Having considered the Motion, the Court is of the opinion that it should be and hereby is
`
`GRANTED. It is therefore ORDERED that the below schedule of deadlines is in effect until
`
`further order of this Court.
