April 22, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 388 MINUTE ORDER (IN CHAMBERS) by Judge George H. Wu: The Court has been informed that the jury trial has been set for May 4, 2022 in Huyghe v. Accredo Health Group, CV-18-10158. The Court will discuss that development with the parties at the April 25, 2022 pre-trial conference. Additionally, upon further consideration of the issue of the testimony (or more accurately the absence thereof) of Ms. Maruyama, the Court at this point would find that it would be very difficult to reach an informed decision on the parties' dispute as to inequitable conduct without her testimony - since any decision will primarily rest on her knowledge, state of mind, intentions and communications with other Plaintiff's employees. The Court will also discuss that matter with the parties on April 25, 2022. (bm)
