This hearing date is ten days after the date requested in Elantech's Motion to Take Preliminary Injunction Motion Off Calendar Pending Transfer of the Case or, in the Alternative, Motion for Continuance.3 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the parties shall promptly meet and confer regarding a hearing date for presenting a tutorial on the technology at issue in this action. The hearing date should be no later than June 20, 2008. The parties may check with this court's courtroom deputy (Corinne Lew at 408-535-5378) to determine whether specific days and times are available on the court's calendar. No later than June 9, 2008, the parties shall file either a joint proposal for the tutorial, or their respective proposals. Dated: 6/4/08 PATRICIA V. TRUMBULL United States Magistrate Judge

The court notes that Elantech never obtained relief from the original due date for its opposition papers. However, rather than granting the motion as unopposed, the court finds it appropriate to grant Synaptics' request to shorten time for re-noticing the motion and to reset the briefing schedule. The court declines to wait for any opposition to Synaptics' administrative motion because Elantech is already on record as requesting a shorter "continuance" of the motion, and the court wishes to apprise the parties of the new schedule as quickly as possible.
