`
`NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
`
`SAN JOSE DIVISION
`
`IN RE: PERSONALWEB
`TECHNOLOGIES, LLC, ET AL., PATENT
`LITIGATION
`
`
`
`Case No. 18-md-02834-BLF
`
`
`ORDER RE ADR DEADLINES
`
`
`
`
`
`It has come to the Court’s attention that in one or more cases comprising this multidistrict
`
`litigation (“MDL”), Alternative Dispute Resolution (“ADR”) deadlines set prior to transfer or
`
`consolidation to the MDL may remain in effect. See, e.g., PersonalWeb Techs. v. Peek Travel,
`
`Inc., 5:18-cv-04628-BLF, at ECF 22.
`
`At the Case Management Conference on September 20, 2018, the Court ordered that
`
`defendants in the “customer cases” (i.e. any case comprising this MDL other than the Amazon
`
`Declaratory Judgment action) shall not be required to respond to the operative complaint, unless
`
`and until ordered to do so by this Court. See Case Management Order No. 1 ¶ 3, ECF 157. The
`
`Court hereby orders that any ADR obligations in the “customer cases” are likewise on hold.
`
`
`
`IT IS SO ORDERED.
`
`
`
`Dated: October 22, 2018
