On February 18, 2015, the court granted a stay in this case based on the

possibility of the patents-in-suit being assigned to a receiver and sold at auction in order

12

to satisfy a judgment in another suit involving plaintiff. Dkt. 90. Since then, the parties

have filed status reports every six months seeking to continue the stay; the court has

repeatedly ordered the stay to continue as the appointment of a receiver was appealed.

requesting that the court continue the stay. Dkt. 102. In Yufa v. TSI Incorporated, No.
