`
`
`CHARTER’S UNOPPOSED MOTION TO EXPEDITE BRIEFING ON ITS
`MOTION TO CONTINUE THE MARCH 3, 2025, TRIAL DATE

`Case 2:23-cv-00059-JRG-RSP Document 337 Filed 02/21/25 Page 2 of 5 PageID #:

`
`
`Pursuant to Local Rule CV-7(e), the Charter Defendants (“Charter”) respectfully move
`
`this Court for an order expediting the briefing schedule on Charter’s Motion to Continue The
`
`March 3, 2025, Trial Date (“Charter’s Motion to Continue”). Plaintiff Touchstream
`
`Technologies, Inc. (“Touchstream”) does not oppose this request to expedite briefing and agrees
`
`that it will file its opposition to Charter’s Motion to Continue by 5 p.m. CT on Monday, February
`
`24, 2025.
`
`Expedited briefing on this matter is necessary because, absent expedited briefing,
`
`Touchstream’s opposition to Charter’s Motion to Continue would not be due until March 7,
`
`2025, when the trial will already be over, mooting the relief Charter requests.
`
`As explained in Charter’s Motion to Continue, Charter cannot proceed with the March 3,
`
`2025, trial date because its damages expert, Mr. Bakewell, will be testifying as the damages
`
`expert for the defendant Anker Innovations Ltd at a week-long trial in the District Court for the
`
`District of Delaware on March 3-7. See Fundamental Innovation Systems International LLC v.
`
`Anker Innovations Ltd., No. 1:21-cv-00339-RGA, (D. Del.); Dkt. 313-1, ¶4.1 Charter did not file
`
`a motion to continue before today because Charter became aware that, on February 11, 2025, the
`
`Fundamental Innovation Court granted a Daubert motion against the plaintiff’s damages expert2
`
`and that there was some question about whether that case would proceed to trial. Earlier today,
`
`however, on February 21, 2025, there was a pretrial conference in the Fundamental Innovation
`
`matter, and Charter understands that District Judge Richard Andrews confirmed that the
`
`Fundamental Innovation matter will be proceeding to trial on March 3 as scheduled.
`
`
`
`
`1 Charter previously notified the Court of this conflict in a Notice of Trial Conflicts filed on
`February 7, 2025. Dkt. 313.
`2 Fundamental Innovation, No. 1:21-cv-00339-RGA (D. Del), Dkts. 261 and 262.
