Having considered the joint statement by Richtek Technology Corporation and Powerchip

20

Technology Corporation regarding the possibility of a short trial on the limited issue of personal

21

jurisdiction, this order concludes that no such trial will be held. Because the factual issues

22

underlying the question of personal jurisdiction over Powerchip are complex and closely related

23

to the merits of the case, such a trial would not be efficient and would not materially advance the

24

action. The stay will remain in place and the present record will stand.

26

IT IS SO ORDERED.
