ORDER RE FIRST AMENDED
COMPLAINT AGAINST INTEL
CORPORATION

v.

21

INTEL CORPORATION,

22

Defendant.
/

23
On January 24, 2014, plaintiff manually filed a “first amended qui tam complaint to

24
25

recover damages for anti-competitive actions and retaliation.” The United States declined to

26

intervene in this action long ago. After the declination, an October 2013 order stated “[t]he seal

27

shall be lifted as to all other matters occurring in this action after the date of this order” (Dkt.

28

No. 9).

1

A January 2014 order set a deadline to serve the only remaining defendant, Intel

2

Corporation (Dkt. No. 18). On January 16, 2014, the United States provided written consent to

3

dismissal of this action, so long as it was without prejudice to the United States (Dkt. No. 20).

4

Accordingly, the Clerk is HEREBY ORDERED to publicly docket plaintiff’s first amended

5

complaint. To be clear, the seal has been lifted and all existing deadlines remain in place.

6

Since the United States has consented to dismissal, if Intel Corporation is not properly served

7

by FEBRUARY 26, this action will be dismissed without further notice.

8
9

IT IS SO ORDERED.
