Re: Somerset Pharmaceuticals, Inc. v. Dudas, C.A. No. 07-279 gGMS[
Dear Judge Sleet:
This office represents the plaintiff in this matter. On May 22, 2007, we filed a complaint, motion
for preliminary injunction and opening brief in support of that motion seeking, inter alia, an interim
patent term extension with respect to a patent which is currently set to expire in August. We served the
appropriate parties the same day and provided courtesy copies to the attorneys responsible for the
defense of this case.
Over the course of the past week, we have, to no avail, made numerous attempts to discuss a
schedule for the briefing and presentation of our motion for preliminary injunction with the member of
the United States Attomey’s Office responsible for this case. According to Local Rule 7.1.2,
defendant’s answering brief is due on June 6, 2007. As an accommodation, we propose that defendant
tile its brief no later than June 11, 2007, we file our reply brief by June 18, 2007 and that oral argument
be held the week of June 25, 2007.
We respectfully request that, in the event this proposed schedule is acceptable, the Court enter it
as an order. Thank you for Your Honor’s consideration of this request. We arg prepared to respond to
the Court’s questions and comments at Your Honor’s convenience. .
Respectfully submitted,
