ORDER REFERRING MATTER FOR
RELATED CASE DETERMINATION
The above captioned matter asserts infringement of United States Patent No. 6,163,557
17
(“the ‘557 Patent”), and was previously pending before the Honorable Henry Coke Morgan, Jr. in
18
the Eastern District of Virginia. On April 12, 2013, Judge Morgan ordered that the above
19
captioned matter be transferred to the Northern District of California, because Plaintiff Bluestone
20
Innovations, LLC also asserts infringements of the ‘557 Patent in a case currently pending before
21
the Honorable Susan Illston, Bluestone Innovations LLC v. Epistar Corp. et al., 12-CV-0059-SI.
22
Judge Morgan found that the interests of justice in avoiding duplicative efforts and inconsistent
23
results favored consolidation with case 12-CV-0059-SI. See ECF No. 93.
24
Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 3-12(c), the Court hereby refers the above captioned matter to
25
Judge Illston for a determination as to whether it is related to case 12-CV-0059-SI.
26
IT IS SO ORDERED.
