Upon consideration of the parties briefs (including supplemental briefs) on the sanctions motion, the Court determines that jurisdiction over the sanctions motion remains secure as it is collateral to the now-resolved underlying dispute. In addition, given Magistrate Judge Valdez's involvement in at least the initial stages of the parties' settlement discussions that are implicated in MET's motion for sanctions, this Court refers the motion to Judge Valdez for a ruling in the first instance.

March 5, 2014 Filing 202 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Robert M. Dow, Jr: Motion hearing held on 3/5/2014. For the reasons stated on the record in open court, the joint motion for dismissal with prejudice #188 is granted pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(2), with each party to bear its own costs, expenses, and attorneys' fees. The Court notes that co-Plaintiff MET has transferred all right, title, and interest in and to the patents-in-suit and has not filed a brief in opposition to the motion for dismissal. However, MET has filed a motion for sanctions #191 , which remains under advisement. As discussed on the record, MET is given until 3/12/2014 to file a supplemental brief addressing its standing to maintain the motion for sanctions; MET also may further address the Court's authority to consider a sanctions motion after dismissal of the principal claims as collateral to the merits of the case. Any response to MET's supplemental authority must be filed by 3/19/2014. The previously set briefing schedule on the motion for sanctions [see 199] is suspended until the Court resolves any standing and/or jurisdictional issues. If the Court determines that MET may proceed with the sanctions motion, it will reset the briefing schedule and determine whether to refer the motion to Magistrate Judge Valdez, as previously suggested.

May 21, 2013 Filing 145 MINUTE entry before Honorable Maria Valdez: On 5/20/13, Plaintiff Micro Enhanced Technology, Inc. filed a Motion to Compel Production of Product Samples and Technical Documents Contended to Be At Issue In This Lawsuit #142 and noticed the motion for 5/23/13, which does not comply with this Court's three-day notice requirement. The motion was not styled as an emergency motion, and Plaintiff did not follow this Court's standing order governing emergency motions, which requires a party to contact the Courtroom Deputy prior to filing. The Court also notes that the motion does not attempt to demonstrate that it constitutes an emergency, which the standing order defines as "an unforeseen circumstance that arises suddenly and unexpectedly and requires immediate action in order to avoid serious or irreparable harm to one or more of the parties." The Court assumes, from a review of the memorandum in support of the motion, that Plaintiff's sense of urgency is occasioned by the upcoming 5/29/13 deadline for filing its final infringement contentions. This does not constitute an emergency under the Court's standing order, and therefore the 5/23/13 notice of motion is stricken and reset to 5/28/13 at 10:15 a.m.Mailed notice (yp, )

Failure to comply with the provisions of the Court's Standing Order may result in the unilateral cancellation of the settlement conference by the Court. Absent leave from the Court, cancellation will result if the Plaintiff fails to submit to chambers copies of the settlement letters four days prior to the settlement conference. Because of the volume of settlement conferences conducted by Judge Valdez, once a settlement conference date has been agreed upon, no continuance will be granted without a motion showing extreme hardship.
