ORDER
THIS CAUSE comes before the Court upon Defendant ICANN’s Motion for
Withdrawal of Reference of the Adversary Proceeding as to Claims Against Defendant

dismissed or transferred to the proper venue in the United States District Court for the
District of Oregon. Upon consideration, the Court concludes that the motion to withdraw
should be granted and the case transferred to the District Court of Oregon.
It is therefore ORDERED and ADJUDGED that:

1.

Defendant ICANN’s Motion for Withdrawal of Reference of the Adversary

Proceeding as to Claims Against Defendant ICANN (Dkt. 1) is GRANTED.
