The remaining issue to be settled was when to schedule these depositions. Given that the trial has been delayed, time isn't an issue, but timing is. Bornstein is readily available and the parties quickly agreed to a November 21 deposition date for him. The problem arose with Bray and Rizzo. Bray is out of the country on an extended business trip and Rizzo is not a Google employee. The court had set a deadline for these depositions of November 21, but Bray and Rizzo are not available on or before that date.
To resolve this problems Oracle and Google have stipulated to a November 30 deposition date for Bray and Rizzo and requested the court's consent. (623 [PDF; Text]). There is no reason the judge would not grant this mutual request.
Almost all of the pending motions have now been acted upon by Judge Alsup with the exception of Oracle's motion to exclude portions of the Leonard and Cox reports. (Document 558 [PDF; Text]) Given that the depositions discussed above relate to that motion, it is possible that Judge Alsup will await the outcome of those depositions before ruling. However, the judge's action on that motion does not rely on any further filing by Oracle. The only remaining document filing permitted in relation to that motion is a sur-reply by Google, Oracle already having filed the original motion, Google an opposition, and Oracle a reply to that opposition.
Once Oracle's motion to strike regarding Leonard/Cox is resolved everything will be in line for the pretrial conference on December 21, except for the lingering matter of Google's interlocutory appeal of the court's rulings on the Lindholm emails. Oracle has a November 28 deadline by which it needs to respond to Google's petition for a writ of mandamus pending before the Federal Circuit.

November 22, 2011; and
WHEREAS, on November 15, 2011, Oracle informed Google that it wanted to take the
depositions of Timothy Bray, John Rizzo, and Dan Bornstein; and
WHEREAS, on November 16, 2011, Google offered Mr. Bornstein for deposition on

WHEREAS, on November 17, 2011, Oracle accepted that offer and agreed take Mr.
Bornstein’s deposition on November 21, 2011; and
WHEREAS, prior to the Court’s November 14, 2011 order, the parties had scheduled the
interviews of Google employee Timothy Bray and third party John Rizzo for November 30, 2011;
and
WHEREAS, Mr. Bray is currently traveling in Asia and will not be returning to the United
States until after the Court’s deadline of November 22, 2011; and
WHEREAS, because Mr. Rizzo is not a Google employee, his day-to-day availability for
proceedings in this case is not subject to Google’s control, but Mr. Rizzo had voluntarily agreed
to accept service of a deposition subpoena and sit for deposition on November 30, 2011, and
Oracle had issued a deposition subpoena to Mr. Rizzo for that date; and
WHEREAS, accordingly, on November 16, 2011, Google proposed to Oracle that, subject
to Court approval, the depositions of Mr. Bray and Mr. Rizzo should take place on the previously
agreed date of November 30, 2011; and
WHEREAS, on November 17, 2011, Oracle agreed to accommodate Mr. Bray’s and Mr.
Rizzo’s schedules by deposing those witnesses on November 30, 2011; and
WHEREAS, the parties acknowledge and agree that a limited extension of time to depose
Mr. Bray and Mr. Rizzo will not affect, delay, or push back any other deadlines in this case or
cause any prejudice to either Google or Oracle.
