`
`
`CASE MANAGEMENT &
`SCHEDULING ORDER
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`On December 19, 2024, the parties appeared before Judge Eumi K. Lee for a case
`
`management conference. The Court ORDERS as follows:
`
`(1)
`
`The parties shall comply with this Court’s standing orders, which are available on
`
`the Court’s website and in the Clerk’s Office.
`
`(2)
`
`The presumptive limits on discovery set forth in the Federal Rules of Civil
`
`Procedure shall apply to this case unless otherwise ordered by the Court.
`
`(3)
`
`All disputes with respect to disclosures or discovery are referred to the assigned
`
`Magistrate Judge.
`
`(4)
`
`The close of fact discovery is the date by which all discovery must be completed,
`
`including motions to compel, hearings on discovery motions, and any additional
`
`discovery resulting from orders on discovery motions. Accordingly, all discovery
`
`requests shall be served sufficiently in advance of the close of fact discovery to
`
`allow the discovering party enough time prior to the cut-off date to challenge
`
`allegedly deficient responses via motion to compel and to receive the necessary
`
`responses if the motion is granted. Depositions must be noticed at least 30 days
`
`prior to the close of fact discovery.

`
`
`
`IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this case is referred to private mediation. Within six
`
`weeks after the Court’s claims construction ruling, the parties shall hold an initial ADR session
`
`with their chosen mediator. Within seven days after the initial ADR session, the parties shall file a
`

`
`was completed. The status report shall state the outcome of the session and the parties’ proposals
`
`for further ADR efforts if the initial ADR session was unsuccessful.
`
`IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a claim construction tutorial is scheduled for July 10,
`
`2025, at 1:30 p.m. via Zoom video. The Court expects to allocate up to one hour per side for the
`
`tutorial. A claim construction hearing is scheduled for July 24, 2025, at 1:30 p.m. in person. The
`
`parties shall meet and confer regarding the format, scope, and content of both the tutorial and the
`
