`ORDER
`
`Before the Court is the Parties Joint Motion to Consolidate Cases (Dkt. No. 42) (“the
`
`Motion”). Having considered the Motion, the Court is of the opinion that it should be GRANTED.
`
`It is hereby ORDERED that the above-captioned case (Case No. 2:16-cv-991) be
`
`CONSOLIDATED for all pretrial issues (except venue) with the LEAD CASE (Case No. 2:16-
`
`cv-00992). All parties are instructed to file any future filings (except relating to venue) in the
`
`LEAD CASE. Individual cases remain active for venue determinations and trial.
`
`Defendants in Case No. 2:16-cv-00991-JRG shall be permitted, until May 8, 2017, to
`
`supplement the invalidity contentions already served in the Lead Case. All parties to the Lead
`
`Case are directed to meet and confer to determine whether the docket control order, proposed
`
`protective order, proposed discovery order, and/or appointment of mediator in the Lead Case
`
`warrant further amendment because of the new consolidation. Any proposed amendments to the
`
`docket control order, proposed protective order, proposed discovery order, or appointment of a
`
`mediator shall be filed within two weeks of this Order.
`
`The local rules’ page limitations for Markman briefs and other motions will apply to the

`
`
`Case 2:16-cv-00992-JRG Document 130 Filed 05/04/17 Page 2 of 2 PageID #: 737
`
`consolidated case. To further promote judicial economy and to conserve the parties’ resources,
`
`the Court encourages the parties to file a notice with the Court in the event that there are other
`
`related cases currently pending on the Court’s docket that may also be appropriate for
`
`consolidation with this case.
`
`The Clerk is instructed to add the consolidated defendants into the Lead Case and their
`
`corresponding Lead and Local Counsel only. Additional counsel may file a Notice of Appearance
`
`in the Lead Case if they wish to continue as counsel of record in the lead consolidated action.
`
`Counsel who has appeared pro hac vice in any member case may file a Notice of Appearance in
`
`the Lead Case without filing an additional application to appear pro hac vice in the Lead Case.
`
`Counsel who have not appeared in a member case at the point when it is consolidated into the Lead
`
`Case should file a Notice of Appearance only in the Lead Case, and such Notice should state the
`
`relevant member case.
