Plaintiff,

v.
ORDER CONTINUING STAY
PARTICLE MEASURING SYSTEMS,
INC.,
Re: Dkt. Nos. 108, 109
United States District Court
Northern District of California
Defendant.

On February 18, 2015, the court granted a stay in this case based on the
15
possibility of the patents-in-suit being assigned to a receiver and sold at auction in order
16
to satisfy a judgment in another suit involving the plaintiff in this action. Dkt. 90. Since
17
then, the parties have filed status reports every six months seeking to continue the stay;
18
the court has repeatedly ordered the stay to continue as the appointment of a receiver
19
was appealed. Dkt. 92, 95, 98, 101, 104, 107.
20
On October April 5, 2018, pro se plaintiff Alexsandr Yufa filed an updated status
21
statement requesting that the court continue the stay. Dkt. 108. Defendant Particle
22
Measuring Systems, Inc. agrees that an additional stay is appropriate. Dkt. 109.
23
In Yufa v. TSI Incorporated, No. 4:09-cv-1315 KAW (“TSI”), the Federal Circuit has
24
now affirmed the order to appoint a receiver for Yufa’s patents. TSI Dkt. 250. However,
25
no assignment has yet taken place and TSI’s motion to compel assignment was denied
26
without prejudice on December 11, 2017. TSI Dkt. 273.
27
28
In addition, On July 7, 2017, Yufa appealed the TSI court’s order denying Yufa’s
request to order the time range for receiver’s evaluations and granting TSI’s motion to
1
approve instruction of the receiver. TSI Dkt. 262. The Federal Circuit has yet to issue a
2
decision on that appeal.
3
The court agrees that the stay should remain in place. The parties shall file an
4
updated status statement no later than six months from the date of this order, apprising
5
the court as to whether the patents have been assigned.
