`
`UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
`EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS
`MARSHALL DIVISION
`
`
`SEAGEN INC.,
`
`CIVIL ACTION NO. 2:20-cv-00337
`
`Plaintiff,
`
`v.
`
`
`
`JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
`
`DAIICHI SANKYO CO., LTD.,
`
`Defendant.
`
`
`
`
`
`UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR ORAL HEARING
`REGARDING MOTION TO COMPEL DAIICHI SANKYO CO., LTD.’S DISCOVERY
`RESPONSES AND PRODUCTION (DKT. 58)
`
`Plaintiff Seagen Inc. respectfully requests a hearing on its Motion to Compel Daiichi
`
`Sankyo Co., Ltd.’s Discovery Responses and Production (Dkt. 58).
`
`The Court granted Plaintiff’s motion to expedite briefing on the Motion to Compel in light
`
`of Defendant’s pending Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Subject Matter Jurisdiction and Lack of
`
`Personal Jurisdiction (Dkt. 22) and Motion to Transfer on the Basis of Inconvenience under 28
`
`U.S.C. § 1404 to the District of Delaware (Dkt. 24). The Order directed Defendants to file a
`
`response to the Motion to Compel on or before February 26, 2021, without an allowance for a
`
`reply or surreply. The Motion to Compel is now fully briefed. (Dkts. 58 & 60.).
`
`Accordingly, Plaintiff requests a hearing on its Motion to Compel. Plaintiff has conferred
`
`with Defendant—and while Defendant does not join in this request, it does not oppose it either.1
`
`
`
`
`1 Although Defendant does not oppose Plaintiff’s Motion for a Hearing on its Motion to Compel,
`Defendant maintains its position that this Court lacks subject matter and personal jurisdiction, and
`therefore the Court does not possess the jurisdiction to preside over Plaintiff’s motion. (See Dkt.
`No. 22.) Further, as the Plaintiff’s Motion to Compel requests additional jurisdictional and venue
`discovery that it seeks for use in supplementing its responses to the Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss
`(Dk. 22) and Motion to Transfer (Dkt. 24), these three motions are connected and thus would
`benefit from being heard collectively at one hearing.
