ORDER - Given the procedural posture of the case at this time, the Court ORDERS the parties to only address the claims and terms the parties believe the Court must construe during the Markman process for the three patents-in-suit that are not at issue in Defendants' reexamination request. Because this will limit the claims and terms that need to be briefed, the Court DENIES Defendants' request for excess pages. [Dkt. 117 .] The Court ORDERS the parties to file their Markman briefs by August 31, 2012 and the opposition briefs by October 5, 2012. If need be, the Court will order the parties to file supplemental briefs following the USPTO's decision whether to grant Defendants' reexamination request.

MINUTE ENTRY for proceedings held before Magistrate Judge Denise K. LaRue: Status Conference held on 8/22/2014 - Parties discussed case status and Phase II case management plan ("CMP"). Defendants notified the Court that they intend to file a petition for writ of certiorari to the Supreme Court asking that the Supreme Court hold the petition pending a decision in the Teva Pharmaceuticals v. Sandoz case scheduled to be heard during the 2014-2015 term. Plaintiffs will oppose any such motion. The parties are in agreement that it doesn't make sense to move forward with the case until we know what's going to happen on appeal. This Magistrate Judge agrees, so the Joint Motion to Amend Case Management Plan, which sets deadlines after resolution of the issue forming the basis of Defendants' petition for writ is resolved ("trigger date"), [Dkt. 182 ] is GRANTED, Further, this Magistrate Judge recommends this case be administratively closed requiring the parties to file a motion to reopen the case within 30 days after resolution of the issue forming the basis of Defendants' petition for writ of certiorari to the Supreme Court. The conference concluded without further order. Signed by Magistrate Judge Denise K. LaRue. (REO) (Entered: 09/02/2014)
