No. 4:17CV2584 SNLJ

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Plaintiffs filed a motion for a protective order on December 14, 2017 seeking to
prohibit the taking to depositions noticed by defendants (#38). While this matter was
being briefed, Bayer sent notices cancelling the depositions because they have been
postponed by order of a California Superior Court in Alameda County and the United
States District Court in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Plaintiffs argue in their
reply memorandum that the Bayer Defendants have waived their personal jurisdiction
defense in this case because they are actively pursuing other defenses that require this
Court to have personal jurisdiction. That matter has been briefed as part of the parties’
briefing on plaintiffs’ motion to remand. Thus, to the extent plaintiffs seek an order from
the Court regarding that waiver, the Court declines to rule on that matter with respect to
this motion.

Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiffs’ motion for a protective order (#38) is
DENIED as moot.

Dated this

9th

day of January, 2018.
