No. C 12-00865 SI

VERINATA HEALTH, INC., et al.,

v.
SEQUENOM, INC., et al.,
Defendants.

15
On September 25, 2014, the Court issued an order in response to the parties’ administrative
16
motions to file multiple summary judgment motions. The Court concluded that “The parties –
17
Sequenom, CUHK, and Verinata – shall each submit a single motion for summary judgment.” Docket
18
No. 247 at 2. On September 30, 2014, Verinata filed a letter asking for clarification on the Court’s order,
19
and on October 3, 2014 Sequenom and CUHK filed a response. Docket Nos. 248, 249. In its letter,
20
Verinata states that “[w]hile it thus seems clear that Stanford may still file its own summary judgment
21
motion . . . out of an abundance of caution Plaintiffs seek confirmation from the Court that this is so.”
22
Docket No. 248 at 1.
23
Verinata’s reading of the Court’s order is incorrect. The order stated that “Sequenom, CUHK,
24
and Verinata” would each file a single motion for summary judgment. The second sentence of the
25
Court’s order defines “Verinata” to mean “Verinata Health, Inc. and the Board of Trustees of the Leland
26
Stanford Junior University.” Docket No. 247. Therefore, in response to Verinata’s request for
27
clarification:
28

1

1. Verinata and Stanford may file a combined total of one summary judgment motion.

2

2. CUHK may file one summary judgment motion.

3

3. Sequenom may file one summary judgment motion.

This order resolves Docket Nos. 248, 249.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
