(Text-Only) MINUTE ENTRY for proceedings held before Magistrate Judge Douglas L. Micko on 1/2/2024: Status Conference. No Digital Recording St. Paul Courthouse, Zoom Audio Conference Time: 2:00pm-2:31pm Total Time: 31 minutes APPEARANCES: For Plaintiff: Delphine Knight Brown; Shannon Bjorklund For Defendant: Mike Adams; Karen Poppel PROCEEDINGS: The Court held a status conference to discuss the parties' Joint Statement Regarding Claim Construction Hearing, received on December 21, 2023 and on file with chambers. In their Joint Statement, Defendant requests that the Court delay the claim construction hearing until after a decision on an as-yet unfiled motion to compel related to Plaintiff's objections to Defendant's invalidity contentions. The Court construes Defendant's request as a motion to modify the scheduling order as it relates to claim construction and, finding no good cause to do so, DENIES the motion. (jme) |
