ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

v.

Re: Dkt. No. 48
SEVEN NETWORKS, LLC,
Defendant.

Case No. 17-cv-04600-WHO

According to the parties’ status report, the Eastern District of Texas has ruled that Seven

12

Network’s first-filed and “mirror-image” infringement complaint should remain in that district.

13

Google has appealed. It appears to me that no matter whether the Federal Circuit rules in favor of

14

Seven Networks on the Petition for Writ of Mandamus, in which case this matter should be

15

dismissed, or whether it grants Google’s Petition, in which case the Eastern District of Texas case

16

would presumably be transferred to this District, there is no need for any action in this case.

17

Accordingly, the parties are ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE why I should not grant defendant’s

18

motion to dismiss and dismiss this case on the grounds of the first-to-file rule or, in the alternative,

19

stay this case.

The parties must respond to this ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE by filing a response, not to
exceed five pages, on or before August 29, 2018.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
