PROCEEDING (IN CHAMBERS): ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE AND SETTING HEARING AND
BRIEFING SCHEDULE
The Court issues an Order to Show Cause as to why the BelAir action (CV 10-2355)
should not be transferred to the Southern District of New York. The BelAir action arises wholly from
the insurers’ obligation to provide coverage in the action entitled Bernard Belair v. MGA
Entertainment, Inc. and Mattel, Inc., 09-CIV-8870, which is currently pending in the Southern District
of New York. Unlike the other consolidated cases in this action, the BelAir action has no relation to
this Court’s litigation in Mattel v. MGA, CV 04-9049.
The Court requests simultaneous briefing on this issue, limited to five-pages, to be due no
later than Monday, July 25, 2011 at noon.
The Clerk shall serve this minute order on all parties to the action.
