| 2007-05-03 | 11 | 0 | MINUTE entry before Judge John F. Grady :This case is set for a conference in chambers pursuant to Rule 16 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure on May 24, 2007 at 10:20 a.m.EACH PARTY SHOULD BE REPRESENTED AT THE CONFERENCE BY THE ATTORNEY IN CHARGE OF THE CASE, who shall be familiar with the facts and the applicable law and be prepared to enter into stipulations which will simplify the issues and reduce the need for discovery. Counsel should also be prepared to discuss settlement and, if possible, come to the conference with settlement authority.The court's experience is that the purposes of Rule 16 conferences are sometimes frustrated by counsels' unfamiliarity with documents essential to an understanding of the case. NO LATER THAN May 16, 2007, each party shall provide to all other parties copies of all documents that are material to the disputed issues. A party need not, however, furnish to a party copies of documents which are already in the possession of that party.UPON RECEIPT OF THIS ORDER, COUNSEL ARE DIRECTED TO CONFIRM WITH EACH OTHER THE DATE AND TIME OF THIS CONFERENCE.On day of conference, counsel should report to the COURTROOM.Mailed notice (jlj, ) (Entered: 05/03/2007) | |||

| 2007-06-07 | 17 | 0 | MINUTE entry before Judge John F. Grady :Rule 16 conference held in chambers. This is a patent infringement case which appears to the court to be one that in the interest of both parties should be settled at an early date. It appears that the amount involved, even at the upper end, would not justify the kind of expense that would be involved in a substantial period of litigation. The court recommends that the parties attempt to settle within the next two weeks and report to the court at a status conference which will be held on 6/20/2007 at 10:30 AM. If the case has not been settled by that time, local counsel may appear for the defendant at the status conference. Mailed notice (rp, ) (Entered: 06/08/2007) | |||
