Re: Power Integrations, Inc. v. Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc., et al.,
C.A. No. 04-1371-JJF
Dear Debbie:
I am writing as a follow—up to our telephone conversation of Friday afternoon concerning
defendants’ motion to compel production of documents of Dr. Klas Eklund for forensic
testing (D.I. 496), which we noticed to be heard on the Court’s July 13, 2007 motions calendar.
You indicated that non-dispositive motions are stricken from the argument calendar when
insufficient time remains for briefing pursuant to the local rules to be completed five days prior
to the noticed motion date, and that although the Court is willing to leave a motion on the
calendar that otherwise lacks sufficient time if the parties intend to shorten their time for briefing .
in order to comply with the deadline, you have no way of knowing of that intention upon the
filing of such a motion unless the moving party sends you an explanatory letter. You asked that I
docket such a letter in connection with this motion.
Plaintiff has offered to submit its answering papers on this motion ahead of schedule, by
Thursday Jtme 28, 2007, and defendants will submit their reply within two days of receipt of
plaintiff s answering papers. Briefing on this motion therefore should be completed by Monday
July 2, 2007.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Steven .1 Balick
