CASE MANAGEMENT PLAN: All parties do not consent to disposition of this case by a Magistrate Judge. These cases are to be tried to a jury. No additional parties may be joined except with leave of the Court. Amended pleadings may not be filed except with leave of the Court. All fact discovery is to be completed no later than 60 days after the Court issues a Claim Construction Order. All expert discovery, including depositions, shall be completed 60 days after both parties' rebuttal reports. Depositions of the expert(s) who provide the rebuttal report(s) shall go forward after the depositions of the expert(s) who provide the respective initial report(s). The parties believe formal settlement discussions will be most productive after a claim construction order. Therefore, counsel for the parties intend to request a settlement conference before a Magistrate Judge or the Southern District's Mediation Program at the appropriate time. Parties have conferred and their present best estimate of the length of trial as to each action is: 5-7 trial days. Plaintiff's Opening Claim Construction Brief due by October 23, 2017. Defendants' Responsive Claim Constructive Brief due by November 21, 2017. Plaintiff's Reply Claim Construction Brief due by November 28, 2017. (Signed by Judge Richard J.

ORDER denying as moot 59 Letter Motion to Stay.
