MCKESSON CORPORATION, et al.,
14
Defendants.
15
On April 4, 2013, the Court stayed this case pending the Ninth Circuit’s decision of certain
16
17
appeals. (Dkt. No. 62.) The Court ordered the parties, among other things, to file a notice of ruling
18
when the Ninth Circuit terminated the appeal, and stated that failure to file such notice might “result
19
in sanctions, including monetary sanctions or dismissal.” (Id.)
On September 12, 2013, the Court clarified that any notice of ruling was due no more than
20
21
three days after the Ninth Circuit issued the opinion terminating appeal, and set a Case Management
22
Conference for October 21, 2013. The undersigned’s Standing Order in Civil Cases requires parties
23
to file an updated, joint case management statements seven days in advance of any case management
24
conferences. See Standing Order in Civil Cases ¶ 6.1
The Court understands that the Ninth Circuit resolved the relevant appeal on September 24,
25
26
2013. See Romo v. Teva Pharm. USA, Inc., --- F.3d ---, 2013 WL 5314334 (9th Cir. Sept. 24, 2013).
