The Dell plaintiffs have filed a motion for sanctions against defendant AU Optronics, and

18

noticed the motion for a hearing before this Court on November 16, 2012. The sanctions motion is

19

related to ongoing proceedings before Special Master Quinn, and the Court finds that it is in the interest

20

of judicial economy to refer to sanctions motion to the Special Master for determination in the first

21

instance. Accordingly, the November 16, 2012 hearing is VACATED.

22

Defendants’ joint motion for partial summary judgment dismissing Dell’s time-barred claims

23

and failure to mitigate is hereby rescheduled to November 30, 2012 at 9:00 a.m. MDL # 5847, 5886;

24

C 10-1064 #243, 245.

25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
