October 1, 2008 Filing 49 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Blanche M. Manning: On September 22, 2008, this court entered an order transferring this action to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. Pursuant to Local Rule 83.4, the clerk may not transfer this case prior to October 6, 2008. On September 26, 2008, Limitnone filed a motion seeking to stay the September 22d transfer order. In its motion, Limitnone asserts that it intends to file a petition for a writ of mandamus and argues that a stay is necessary to give the Seventh Circuit an opportunity to consider the merits of its promised petition before the case is transferred. Limitnone noticed its motion to stay for October 1, 2008, and Google's out-of-town counsel contacted the court's clerk today to determine if an appearance is necessary tomorrow. It appears that Limitnone has not yet filed the promised petition for a writ of mandamus with the appellate court, despite the fact that this court issued its transfer order nine days ago on September 22d. Accordingly, Limitnone's motion to stay 46 is denied without prejudice.Mailed notice (rth, )
