`COURT FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT
`OF TEXAS WACO DIVISION
`
`SECOND AMENDED STANDING ORDER REGARDING MOTIONS FOR
` INTER-DISTRICT TRANSFER
`
`Henceforth, all parties who have filed motion(s) for inter-district transfer are required to
`
`provide the Court with a status report with respect to whether the motion(s) has been fully briefed and
`
`ready for resolution no later than four weeks prior to the date of the Markman hearing1 that is
`
`scheduled in that case. In addition, if by one week before the Markman hearing the Court has not
`
`ruled on any pending inter-district motion to transfer, the moving party is directed to email the
`
`Court’s law clerk at the following address, and the technical advisor (when appointed),and indicate
`
`that the motion to transfer is pending: TXWDml_LawClerks_JudgeAlbright@txwd.uscourts.gov.
`
`With respect to any parties who have such motion(s) pending at the time of the entry of this
`
`Standing Order and a Markman hearing scheduled for a date that is less than 4 weeks from the date
`
`of the entry of this Order, the Court ORDERS the party who has filed the motion to provide the
`
`same status report as quickly as is reasonable, but in no case more than five business days after the
`
`entry of this Order.
`
`When there is a pending inter-district transfer, the Court will either promptly enter an order
`
`resolving the pending motion(s) prior to the Markman hearing or it will postpone the Markman
`
`hearing until it has had the opportunity to do so. The Court will not conduct a Markman hearing
`
`until it has resolved the pending motion to transfer. Whenever a Markman hearing is postponed
`
`pursuant to this Order, Fact Discovery will begin one day after the originally scheduled Markman
`
`Hearing date.
`
`1 To the extent there are multiple Markman hearings, the status report is due six weeks before the first scheduled
`Markman hearing.
