F5 Networks, Inc. v. Radware, Inc.

Filing 121

SCHEDULING ORDER AND ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE SANCTIONS. Signed by Judge Chhabria on 7/12/2017. (vclc3S, COURT STAFF) (Filed on 7/12/2017)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

F5 NETWORKS, INC.,

Case No. 17-cv-03166-VC

Plaintiff,
SCHEDULING ORDER AND ORDER
TO SHOW CAUSE RE SANCTIONS

v.
RADWARE, INC.,
Defendant.

It appears from the discussion at today's telephonic case management conference that
F5's motion to strike (Dkt. No. 86) is frivolous. Therefore, F5 and its counsel are ordered to
show cause why they should not be sanctioned (under Rule 11, 28 U.S.C. section 1927, or the
Court's inherent authority) for this filing. A response to the order to show cause must be filed no
later than seven days from this order, and may not exceed 15 pages. A hearing will take place on
the order to show cause and on the motion to strike on July 27, 2017 at 10 am.
As discussed at the telephonic case management conference, F5's motion to stay
Radware's counterclaims pending IPR (Dkt. No. 101) is scheduled for October 12, 2017 at 10
am. At this hearing, the parties should also be prepared to discuss whether to stay the remainder
of the case (or other parts of the case) pending IPR.
F5's motion to dismiss (Dkt. No. 61) and Radware's motion for judgment on the pleadings
(Dkt. No. 72) are terminated without prejudice to renewal following the October 12, 2017 hearing.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: July 12, 2017
