April 17, 2015 Opinion or Order Filing 372 (IN CHAMBERS) ORDER DEFERRING ENTRY OF JUDGMENT by Judge John A. Kronstadt: The Court determines that it is appropriate to defer entry of judgment, for several reasons. First, any judgment entered now could be amended following a ruling on the Motions. The parties disagree substantially as to the form of judgment, and several of their present disputes may become moot after the Motions are decided. Second, the parties are in agreement that, if their respective proposed judgments are not entered, judgment should be deferred. Third, a partial entry of judgment at this time, even one styled as provisional, could create uncertainty as to when certain deadlines begin to run and whetherjurisdiction exists to order forms of relief. Fourth, no party will be prejudiced if entry of judgment is deferred until after the Motions are decided.[SEE DOCUMENT FOR DETAILS] (ake)

March 27, 2015 Filing 361 JOINT REPORT of PURSUANT TO THE COURT'S MARCH 20, 2015 ORDER filed by Counter Defendants Geffen Records, Interscope Records, Star Trek Entertainment, UMG Recordings, Universal Music Distribution. (Haddad, Mark)
March 20, 2015 Opinion or Order Filing 360 MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS by Judge John A. Kronstadt: ORDER DENYING COUNTERCLAIM-DEFENDANTS' MOTION TO STRIKE (DKT. 356), VACATING BRIEFING SCHEDULE, AND DIRECTING PARTIES TO FILE A JOINT REPORT. The Court has reviewed Plaintiffs and Counterclaim-Defendants Motion to Strike Counter-ClaimantsMotion to Correct the Verdict and for Injunctive Relief and Request for a Status Conference to Set aBriefing Schedule for All Post-Trial Motions (Motion), as well as the motions these parties seek tostrike. Dkt. 356. Counterclaimants have not yet responded to the Motion. However, to ensure judicial andparty efficiency with respect to the briefing of post-trial matters, this Order addresses certain pendingissues and sets forth the steps that the parties are to take as to briefing.First, the Motion to Strike is DENIED. Counterclaim-Defendants argue that Counterclaimants motionshave certain procedural and legal deficiencies. These issues are to be decided on the merits, and not onthe summary basis advanced by Counterclaim-Defendants. They cite no legal authority to support therequest to strike. Filings may be stricken pursuant a courts inherent powers. See Ready Transp., Inc. v.AAR Mfg., Inc., 627 F.3d 402, 404 (9th Cir. 2010).1 However, Counterclaim-Defendants fail to show thatthe exercise of these powers, which must be done with restraint and discretion, is warranted here. Seeid. at 404-05 (these powers are generally reserved to address, e.g., abusive litigation conduct) (citationomitted).Second, the Request for a Status Conference to Set a Briefing Schedule is GRANTED IN PART. Twopost-trial motions have been filed, another is set for briefing and more appear to be planned. At present,it appears likely that these motions will address issues that are interrelated. It will be more efficient for theCourt and the parties if piecemeal litigation is avoided. Instead, the issues should be presented andaddressed in a comprehensive manner.2 For these reasons, the following procedures are adopted with respect to post-trial motions:1. The current briefing schedule for Counterclaimants Motion to Correct the Jurys Verdict andMotion for Permanent Injunction, and for Plaintiffs and Counterclaim-Defendants motionregarding declaratory relief issues, is VACATED;2. No later than March 25, 2015, the parties shall meet and confer as to each of the followingmatters:a. What post-trial motion(s) each side plans to file;b. The proposed briefing schedule for all such motions, i.e., the date on which each will befiled, the date on which the opposition to each will be filed, and the date on which anyreply in support of each will be filed. The parties shall also discuss a proposed date forthe hearing of all such motions in the event that one is conducted; andc. Any other post-trial issues that remain.3. If Counterclaimants wish to withdraw and refile their Motion to Correct the Jurys Verdict and/ortheir Motion for Permanent Injunction in connection with this revised briefing schedule in whichcertain other related motions may be filed, they are granted leave to do so.4. On or before March 27, 2015, the parties shall file a Joint Report that sets forth their collective orrespective positions as to these matters. 5. Upon receiving the Joint Report, the Court will determine whether a status conference isnecessary or if it will set dates based on what is set forth in the Joint Report. (bp)

September 19, 2014 Opinion or Order Filing 124 (IN CHAMBERS) ORDER CONTINUING HEARING AND DIRECTING COUNTER-CLAIMANTS TO FILE A SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEF (Dkt. #88 ) by Judge John A. Kronstadt: Counter-Claimants brought an Amended "Motion to Review [the] Magistrate's Order re Plaintiffs' Motion to Compel Further Responses" (the "Motion") on July 21, 2014. Dkt. 88. Magistrate Judge Rosenberg did not finalize her order (the "Order") with respect to the matters raised in the Motion until September 17, 2014. Dkt. #123 . Pursuant to Local Rule 72-2.1 and this Court's Standing Orders (p. 8, 8(a)), a party seeking review and reconsideration of an order issued by a Magistrate Judge must identify the specific portions of the order to which an objection is made and state the grounds for each such objection. The Motion raised several issues with respect to discovery disputes that, according to Counter-Claimants, are no longer at issue. Dkt. 113. Further, Counter-Claimants have not identified those matters that remain at issue. Nor have they addressed with specificity those rulings in the Order as to which they continue to seek review. For these reasons, the September 22, 2014 hearing is taken off calendar. If Counter-Claimants continue to seek review of the Order, on or before September 23, 2014, they shall file a statement, not to exceed three pages, that lists the specific rulings in the Order that they presently dispute. They shall also state briefly the basis for each such objection and then refer to the Docket Entry and pages of their prior briefing where that position is addressed. For example, the Order designates certain documents that are to be produced some in redacted forms by Counter-Claimants. If Counter-Claimants object to the production of only some of these documents, they shall identify such documents in their September 23 filing and then refer to the pages in the prior briefing where the basis for each objection is addressed. Plaintiffs may file a three-page response, on or before September 25, 2014. It shall follow the same format. Thus, as to each issue identified by Counter-Claimants, Plaintiffs shall state their position and refer to the pages in their earlier briefing that addresses that issue.

July 30, 2014 Opinion or Order Filing 99 (IN CHAMBERS) ORDER RE EX PARTE APPLICATION FOR AN ORDER TO SHORTEN TIME TO HEAR COUNTERCLAIMANTS RULE 56(d) MOTION (DKT. 95) by Judge John A. Kronstadt: The Court has reviewed the Ex Parte Application (the Application) (Dkt. 95). Through the Application, Defendants/Counterclaimants contend that they will suffer prejudice if they are required to file their Opposition to Plaintiffs Motion for Summary Judgment (the Motion) (Dkt. 89) on August 12, 2014, as required by the Courts Standing Order. They also state that they will not be able to depose Plaintiffs expert witness, Sandy Wilbur, obtain rebuttal evidence from their expert witnesses and prepare their Opposition by that date. Counterclaimants contend that Ms. Wilbur was not identified as an expert prior to the date on which the Motion was filed. Plaintiffs oppose the Application. Dkt. 98. They contend that they have agreed to make Ms. Wilbur available for deposition on or before August 8, 2014. As a result, they contend that Counterclaimants will not suffer prejudice if the deadline for filing their Opposition remains August 12, 2014. The Motion is set to be heard on October 20, 2014. There is no showing that Plaintiffs will suffer prejudice, or that a separate motion pursuant to Rule 56(d) should be heard, so long as the time for filing the Opposition is extended to permit the deposition of Ms. Wilbur. For these reasons, the Application is GRANTED IN PART. Plaintiffs shall make Ms. Wilbur available for deposition at a mutually convenient time on or before August 13, 2014. Counterclaimants shall file their Opposition on or before September 8, 2014. Plaintiffs shall file their Reply on or before September 22, 2014. The Motion shall remain on the calendar to be heard on October 20, 2014, at 8:30 a.m. The Court encourages counsel to work collaboratively in the future to seek to resolve such scheduling issues by stipulation. #95 THERE IS NO PDF DOCUMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ENTRY.
