JOINT MOTION TO CONTINUE PRETRIAL HEARING
Plaintiffs Dell Inc. and Dell Products L.P. ("Dell") and Defendant HannStar Display Corporation ("HannStar") hereby continue the pretrial hearing for the trial set to commence on January 28, 2013 in this MDL, in light of the parties' recent notification to the Court that they had reached an agreement in principle.
WHEREAS, Dell has settled with all defendants other than HannStar;
WHEREAS, via letter on January 10, 2013 (MDL Dkt. No. 7469), the parties informed the Court that they "have reached an agreement in principle to settle the case as between them," and via letter on January 14, 2013 (MDL Dkt. No. 7499) HannStar informed the Court that it "believes that an orderly process for finalization and execution of the agreement is underway, and HannStar expects that a final settlement agreement will be executed shortly";
WHEREAS, the parties request a continuance of the pretrial conference, which is currently set for January 15, 2013, MDL Dkt. No. 7429, to allow additional time for the completion of the settlement between them, particularly given that certain principals for HannStar are located in Taiwan;
THEREFORE, THE PARTIES RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THE COURT continue the pretrial hearing to January 23, 2013. _______________
