This is a subpoena enforcement action. At issue is a subpoena issued out of the

18

Northern District of California by Plaintiff Chevron to Third Party Amazon Watch.

19

See Motion to Transfer (dkt. 18) at 3. Chevron seeks to transfer its Motion to Enforce the

20

subpoena to Judge Lewis A. Kaplan of the Southern District of New York, as Judge Kaplan

21

is presiding over the underlying case to which the subpoena relates. See generally id. This

22

Court recently granted Chevron’s Motion to Shorten Time for Briefing of Chevron’s Motion

23

to Transfer (dkt. 20), setting a hearing on the Motion to Transfer for March 8, 2013 in light

24

of Chevron’s representations that the subpoena sought materials relevant to upcoming

25

depositions in the underlying case. See Order Granting Motion to Shorten Time (dkt. 25).

Amazon Watch has now filed a Motion for Leave to File a Motion for
Reconsideration of that Order (dkt. 30), arguing, among other things, that its counsel is

1

unavailable to attend a hearing on March 8, 2013.1 As explained below, the Court DENIES

2

AS MOOT the Motion for Leave to File a Motion for Reconsideration and VACATES the

3

March 8, 2013 hearing pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-1(b). The parties are to maintain the

4

briefing schedule as to the Motion to Transfer that is set forth in the Court’s Order Granting

5

Motion to Shorten Time.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
