ORDER SETTING CASE
MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

v.
ELECTRONIC ARTS INC. and THE
COLLEGIATE LICENSING COMPANY,
Defendants.

10
On September 22, 2014, the parties in this stayed action filed a Joint Status Report. The
11
United States District Court
Northern District of California

Report indicated that plaintiffs and both defendants in this declaratory relief insurance coverage
12
matter have reached a settlement related to the underlying NCAA actions, contingent on the
13
approval by Judge Wilken of the settlements of the underlying NCAA actions. Judge Wilken has
14
scheduled a fairness hearing on those settlements for May 14, 2015.
15
The Report further indicated that the insurance plaintiffs and defendant Electronic Arts
16
have not reached agreement as to the underlying NFL-related actions (Davis v. Electronic Arts,
17
Inc., No. 10-3328-RS, N.D.Cal.; and Brown v. Electronic Arts, Inc., Case No. BC 520019, L.A.
18
Sup.Ct.). The September, 2014 Report stated that "plaintiffs plan to file a motion to lift the stay in
19
this action with respect to the underlying NFL actions." However, no such motion -- or any other
20
pleadings -- have been filed in this case since then.
21
Accordingly, the Court schedules a Case Management Conference for Friday, May
22
22, 2015 at 3:00 pm. One week prior, the parties shall file a Joint Status Report which includes a
23
plan and suggested timetable for completion of the proceedings in this action.
24
IT IS SO ORDERED.
