March 24, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 148 ORAL ORDER: The Court, having reviewed Plaintiffs' Motion for Expedited Relief, (D.I. #144 ), and the briefing related thereto, (D.I. 145; D.I. 147), hereby GRANTS-IN-PART Plaintiffs' Motion as follows. During the March 25, 2021 deposition of Dr. Christians in the instant action, Plaintiffs may use any portions of Dr. Christians' expert reports or deposition testimony from the Lanham Act case that discuss the subject matter set out in paragraph 135 of Dr. Christians' October 16, 2020 report. In the Court's view, Plaintiffs have sufficiently explained why the material in that paragraph is relevant to the instant action, (D.I. 145 at 1-2), and the Court cannot see how sharing material described in that paragraph in the instant action would harm Defendant from a confidentiality perspective. To the extent that Plaintiffs request to more broadly use any part of Dr. Christians expert reports or deposition testimony from the Lanham Act case beyond the subject matter set out in paragraph 135, however, the Court cannot grant such a request, as the Court cannot say that such material would be relevant to the instant action and/or would not harm Defendant from a confidentiality perspective. Ordered by Judge Christopher J. Burke on 3/24/2021. (mlc)

January 8, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 42 ORAL ORDER: The Court, having reviewed the parties' January 2, 2020 letter regarding the proposed scheduling order, (D.I. (40 in 1:19-cv-00567-CFC-CJB, D.I. 19 in 1:19-cv-01804-CFC-CJB)), hereby ORDERS that with respect to the parties' second dispute ("Natera's and Eurofins' Request That Discovery Be Suspended Until Resolution Of Their Motions To Dismiss"), the Court DENIES Defendants' request. The Court's current inclination, after reviewing the briefing and hearing oral argument, is that it will likely recommend that the motions be denied without prejudice to renew at summary judgment, and so a stay at this time does not make sense. Accordingly, the Court need not hear argument with respect to this dispute during the January 21, 2020 telephonic case management/scheduling conference.Ordered by Judge Christopher J. Burke on 1/8/2020. Associated Cases: 1:19-cv-00567-CFC-CJB, 1:19-cv-01804-CFC-CJB(mlc)

October 22, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 33 ORAL ORDER Setting Hearing on Motion (9 in 1:19-cv-00567-CFC) MOTION to Dismiss for Failure to State a Claim : The Court, having reviewed the parties' and Eurofins Viracor, Inc.'s recent letters to Judge Connolly, (Civil Action No. 19-567, D.I. 28-32), HEREBY ORDERS that the oral argument scheduled for October 30, 2019 on the Section 101 motion to dismiss, (Civil Action No. 19-567, D.I. 9), is rescheduled for 11/20/2019 at 01:00 PM in Courtroom 2A before Judge Christopher J.
