Having reviewed defendants’ motions to dismiss, the Court notes that defendant Royal

17

Dutch Shell plc has moved to dismiss under FRCP 12(b)(5) for lack of sufficient service of

18

process (Dkt. No. 169). By MARCH 28 AT NOON, all parties shall advise whether it would be

19

best to resolve Royal Dutch Shell’s motion challenging service first, and, if it succeeds, whether

20

resolution of all other pending motions should be delayed until any snafu in service is cured.*

21

In addition, defendants ConocoPhillips Company and Exxon Mobile Corporation set

22

their respective motions to dismiss for hearing on April 26 (Dkt. Nos. 165, 168). As stated in

23

the Court’s March 1 order, a hearing date on defendants’ motions to dismiss will be set by the

24

Court. The hearings currently set for April 26 are accordingly VACATED.

25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
