(In Chambers) ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE (“OSC”)

The Court has reviewed the Joint Rule 26(f) Report.
Therein, Defendant advises the Court that the present case is related to Si-Flash Drives,
LLC v. Kingston Technology Company, Inc., SACV 16-02004 CJC. (Doc. 27 at 3.)
Therefore, the Court directs counsel’s attention to Local Rule 83-1.3 and General Order
16-05, § II.I.1.b. The Court ORDERS Plaintiff to show cause why it should not file a Notice of
Related Case. Although the mere fact that this and the 16-02004 case involve the same patent
does not, by itself, compel the filing of a Notice of Related Cases, Plaintiff is advised to consider
whether the cases “call for determination of the same or substantially related or similar questions
of law and fact[,] or . . . for other reasons would entail substantial duplication of labor if heard by
different judges.” (Gen. Order 16-5, § II.I.1.b(2)-(3).)
To satisfy this OSC, within seven days of the entry of this Order, Plaintiff shall file either
a Notice of Related Cases or a response explaining why the two cases should not be “related”
within the meaning of § II.I.1.b.
The Court CONTINUES the Scheduling Conference from May 5, 2017 to May 19, 2017
at 1:30 p.m.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
