December 18, 2013 Filing 102 Magistrate Judge Jennifer C. Boal: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered re 90 Third Motion to Modify Scheduling Order. The Trustees of Boston University ("BU") have moved to modify paragraph 1.b of the Amended Scheduling Order. BU seeks to extend, inter alia, its ability to amend or supplement its preliminary infringement contentions as of right from up to 45 days before the Markman hearing to 45 days from the close of discovery, based on its argument that the Defendants have not produced requested discovery. The Defendants have offered to agree to a brief extension of the paragraph 1.b deadlines, which BU refused. The second sentence of paragraph 1.b allows BU to seek an extension of the current deadline on a case-by-case basis for good cause shown. After careful consideration of BU's arguments, the Court denies BU's request for such a lengthy extension. (York, Steve)
