`
`IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
`FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
`SOUTHERN DIVISION
`IN RE: NEO WIRELESS, LLC
`Case No. 2:22-md-03034-TGB
`
`PATENT LITIG.
`
`HON. TERRENCE G. BERG
`
`
`
`JOINT MEDIATION REPORT
`
`
`
`Pursuant to the Court’s instructions at the Status Conference held on
`
`November 27, 2023, Plaintiff and Defendants hereby file this Joint Mediation
`
`Report.
`
`
`
`At Defendants’ request, the parties are working to schedule individual,
`
`separate mediations. Neo and most Defendants have agreed upon using the
`
`Honorable Jay C. Gandhi as mediator, subject to his availability. At this time, Neo
`
`has started the process of scheduling mediations with Judge Gandhi in February
`
`with Toyota, FCA, Tesla, and Ford. Neo and Honda have also agreed to mediate,
`
`and at this time are discussing timing and location, with Judge Gandhi being
`
`among the candidates. Same holds true for Nissan and GM. The parties who are
`
`unable to schedule a mediation with Judge Gandhi will continue working in good
`
`faith to schedule a mediation in February or as soon thereafter as possible,
`
`including with an alternative, mutually agreeable mediator if necessary.
