Civil Case No. C15-1914RSL
ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR
RECONSIDERATION
13
On January 25, 2017, the Court stayed the above-captioned matter so that the validity and
14
15
scope of the Attorney General’s claim in In re Breast Cancer Prevention Fund, Case No. 13-
16
16150-MLB, could be resolved before the parties invest any more time or money establishing
17
causation and/or damages in this proceeding. The trustee seeks to reopen this case so that she
18
can seek a determination of damages arising from a single claim against a single defendant and
19
to request entry of a partial judgment thereon. The motion is DENIED. The Court has already
20
established that a breach of fiduciary duty occurred: to the extent the trustee hopes that findings
21
in this matter will encourage settlement, that determination is sufficient. The trustee has not
22
shown that the entry of a partial judgment is appropriate under Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b).
