`As previously indicated (see Dkt. 49 at 4 n.2), transfer briefing was not completed in
`Facebook’s or Google’s 2020 WDTX cases, and those defendants intend to pursue their prior
`motions to transfer. However, transfer briefing was completed in Amazon’s 2020 WDTX case,
`although VoIP-Pal has a pending Motion To Strike Portions Of The Amazon Defendants’ Reply
`In Support Of Motion To Transfer Venue Or In The Alternative, Motion For Leave To Conduct
`Venue Discovery And To File A Surreply (Case No. 6:20-cv-272-ADA, Dkt. No. 43), which is
