Plaintiff,

Defendant.

On October 30, 2013, Plaintiff filed a motion requesting clarification of the Court’s

15

Order granting, in part, denying, in part, and denying without prejudice in part, Schlumberger

16

Ltd.’s (“SLB Ltd.”) motion to dismiss. The Court clarifies that it granted SLB Ltd.’s motion to

17

dismiss for improper venue. The Court denied SLB Ltd.’s motion to dismiss for lack of

18

jurisdiction, because it had not shown it had standing to raise that argument on behalf of Data

19

Marine Systems (S) Pte. Ltd. The Court denied SLB Ltd.’s remaining arguments in support of

20

its motion to dismiss without prejudice to renewing those arguments once the case has been

21

transferred. The Court denies Plaintiff’s remaining request for clarification. The Court also

22

denies the request at point 3 of Plaintiff’s motion. Plaintiff should direct any requests for

23

accommodation to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston

24

Division, once the case has been transferred and assigned to a judge in that District.
