October 2, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 952 ORDER from Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals filed re: Notice of Appeal to 9th Circuit Court of Appeals #915 filed by Knight Law Plaintiffs. CCA # 20-55883. The district court's records reflect that appellants timely filed a motion listed in Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 4(a)(4), which is still pending. The notice of appeal is therefore ineffective, see Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(4), and proceedings in this court will be stayed until the district court decides the 9/10/2020 motion. Within 14 days after the district court's decision, appellants must notify this court in writing of the decision and state whether they wish to move forward with this appeal. To challenge the decision on the post-judgment motion, appellant must file an amended notice of appeal within the time set by Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 4. Appellants' motion to stay appellate proceedings is denied as unnecessary. (gk)

July 26, 2018 Filing 89 Conditional Transfer Order - 12 from the United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation. (gk)
July 25, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 88 (IN CHAMBERS) ORDER by Judge Andre Birotte Jr.: Defendant has submitted courtesy copies of oppositions to motions for remand (Dkt. Nos. 85, 86). These oppositions include declarations and exhibits thereto, and the courtesy copies provided are not accurately or adequately tabbed. Because Dkt. No. 85 is particularly voluminous, it is too onerous to use without proper tabbing. The Court therefore ORDERS Defendant to supply the Court with new courtesy copies of Dkt. No. 85 accurately and adequately tabbed so the Court can easily locate the individual exhibits. Also, given the volume of pages, the opposition and its supporting declarations should not be bound together in one stack but instead should be provided separately. The new courtesy copy must be provided no later than Monday July 30, 2018. Going forward, the Court urges all parties to ensure that the courtesy copies they submit are usable. IT IS SO ORDERED. THERE IS NO PDF DOCUMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ENTRY. (cb) TEXT ONLY ENTRY

June 4, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 49 MINUTES (IN CHAMBERS) ORDER RE: EX PARTE APPLICATIONS TO STAY by Judge Andre Birotte Jr.: In many individual cases originally filed in the Central District of California and related to MDL case number 2:18-ml-02814-AB-FFM, Defendant has filed ex parte applications asking for those cases to be stayed pending the Panel's decision whether to transfer the case into the MDL. However, cases originally filed in the Central District of California that are related to the MDL, as indicated in a Notice of Related Case, become member cases of the MDL once the intra-district transfer order transferring them to Judge Birotte has been issued. Once the Court deems a case "related to" the MDL, it is a member case of the MDL and is stayed until further notice. Whether to include such cases in the MDL is not decided by the Panel. Therefore, for related cases originally filed in the Central District of California, the ex parte applications to stay pending action by the Panel are not necessary and Defendant is ORDERED to no longer file them. Defendant is ORDERED to IMMEDIATELY provide this order to all of its counsel and inform to stop filing the above-described ex parte applications. Court Reporter: N/A. (gk)

June 1, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 48 MINUTES (IN CHAMBERS) ORDER RE: JOINT REPORT RE: PAUSING REMOVALS by Judge Andre Birotte Jr.: The Court has reviewed the 5/21/2018 Joint Report regarding "pausing" additional removals based on diversity jurisdiction #39 . Defendant and the CLR Firm expressly state that they agree on four terms that would effectively pause removals pending resolution of the motions to remand. The CLR firm, however, insisted on a further term: that Defendant "not engage in any further ex parte communications with those Plaintiffs represented by the CLR firm..." The CLR Firm claims that without this term, the Firm will not know in which court (state or federal) to file motions seeking to bar such communications. This issue regarding Defendant's alleged ex parte communications with represented plaintiffs, and the CLR Firm's anticipated motion(s) regarding the same, has nothing to do with pausing removals. If the CLR Firm finds it necessary to file a motion to bar ex parte communications, plainly it must file any such motion in the court in which the relevant case is pending. If this issue involves a case whose removal is "paused," then plainly the motion should be filed in state court. There appears to be no real issue here. The Court once again urges the parties to revisit this problem and find a solution that serves judicial economy and the convenience of all parties. The Court again reminds the firms that MDL proceedings require their utmost professionalism. Liaison Counsel, the CLR Firm, and Defendant shall file a further Joint Status Report and any necessary Proposed Order on this same issue no later than 6/7/2018. Court Reporter: N/A. (gk)
