May 2, 2013 Opinion or Order Filing 41 ENDORSED LETTER: addressed to Judge Andrew L. Carter Jr. from Scott A.

Given that under the current Scheduling Order fact discovery is scheduled to close on June 17, 2013, the parties understand the Court's Mediation Referral Order to m~an that, in the event the mediation should fail to resolve this case, the parties are to write to Magistrate Judge Fox to request that the Court revise the current Scheduling Order to allow adequate time to complete discovery, taking into account the discovery stay. But since the Mediation Referral Order does not mention the discovery stay, out of an abundance of caution, we are writing to confirm that discovery is stayed pending mediation or until Your Honor orders otherwise ENDORSEMENT: So Ordered.

Docket No. 34 is Boundless's Amended Answer to First Amended Complaint and Counterclaims for Declaration of Non-Infringement, which was filed today ("Boundless's Counterclaims"). We make this request out of concern under the parties' Stipulated Protective Order due to a single, inadvertently included paragraph in Boundless's Counterclaims.

January 30, 2013 Opinion or Order Filing 31 ORDER: Plaintiffs' complaint goes beyond a simple allegation of copying. Contrary to Defendant's argument, Plaintiffs' Lanham Act claims are not clearly duplicative because they are not based solely on alleged copying. Here, Plaintiffs have pleaded that Defendant falsely represented that it offers a digital version of Plaintiffs' textbooks or something equivalent. As such, Plaintiffs have alleged a misrepresentation and therefore have stated a claim under section 43(a)(1)(B). See 15 U.S.C. 1125(a)(1)(B). Defendant has not met his burden of establishing that Plaintiffs' unfair competition and false advertising claims fail to state a claim. Plaintiffs' ability to prove their claims under Section 43(a) may be in doubt, Defendant's instant motion to dismiss Plaintiffs' unfair competition and false advertising claims should be denied. Even if Based on the foregoing, this Court denies Defendant's motion to dismiss. (Signed by Judge Andrew L. Carter, Jr on 1/30/2013) (js)

May 29, 2012 Opinion or Order Filing 9 ORDER: Before the Court is Scott A. Zebrak's ("Zebrak") motion for admission to practice before this court pro hac vice and to appear as counsel for the plaintiffs in this action, pursuant to Local Civil Rule 1.3 of this court. In support of his motion, Zebrak submitted certificates of good standing issued by: (a) the "Virginia State Bar"; and (b) the District of Columbia Court of Appeals. Local Civil Rule 1.3 of this court requires the applicant for admission pro hac vice to submit "a certificate of the court for each of the states in which the applicant is a member of the bar, which has been issued within thirty (30) days of filing and states that the applicant is a member in good standing of the bar of that state court." Local Civil Rule 1.3(c). The certificate of the "Virginia State Bar" does not satisfy the requirement of Local Civil Rule 1.3, because it is not the certificate of the state court before whose bar Zebrak is admitted to practice. Accordingly, Zebrak's motion is denied without prejudice. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Magistrate Judge Kevin Nathaniel Fox on 5/29/2012) Copies Mailed By Chambers. (ja)
