No. C 10-80256 WHA

In light of the May 26 status report, no action will be taken on the pending motion to

17

compel until either (1) the appeal of the patent invalidity findings is resolved, or (2) the motion to

18

stay the underlying action is denied. The parties shall file a further status report within TEN DAYS

19

after either of those conditions occurs. The further status report should address whether the

20

pending motion is moot, ripe, or neither in light of the reported developments. In the meantime,

21

if a party seeks relation or consolidation of this action with the underlying action (which was

22

recently transferred to this district), then a proper motion should be filed in proper form.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
