C.A. No. 04-1338 (KAJ) CONSOLIDATED

HONEYWELL'S MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME Plaintiffs, Honeywell International Inc. and Honeywell Intellectual Properties Inc. ("Honeywell"), hereby move for an extension of the deadline to join other parties and/or amend the pleadings set forth in paragraph 2 of the Scheduling Order in this case. The grounds for this motion are that Honeywell is in negotiation with several Non-Stayed Manufacturer Defendants regarding the proper entity(ies) responsible for any alleged infringement and properly named as a defendant in this case, and the parties need additional time to reach agreement on this issue. Although no defendant has yet indicated it will oppose an extension, to date, only one defendant has affirmatively stated its assent. Therefore, Honeywell respectfully requests a three-week extension, to July 28, 2006, to complete its discussions with these Non-Stayed Manufacturer Defendants. Pursuant to L.R. 7.1.2, Honeywell waives the filing of an opening brief in support of this motion.
