August 31, 2018	Filing 74 MEMORANDUM Opinion and Order signed by the Honorable Edmond E. Chang on 8/31/2018: For the reasons stated in the opinion, the cross-motions for summary judgment 51 9570 are denied in large part and granted in narrow part. Blue Book wins summary jud gment on only two grounds. First, liability for Amerihua's breach of the user-number restriction; the limited damages on that breach still must be decided at trial (if the parties push it that far). Second, the so-called affirmative defenses are dismissed. Amerihua wins summary judgment only against Blue Book's strict-liability theory. All other aspects of the summary judgment motions are denied, including the motion to bar Plaintiff's expert report. The parties shall start settle ment negotiations by 09/07/2018. Blue Book shall make a renewed settlement demand, followed by a response from Amerihua no later than seven business days later. If the parties want a settlement referral to the magistrate judge (or they want the Court to hold a settlement conference), then they may jointly contact the courtroom deputy. The status hearing of 10/11/2018 is accelerated to 09/20/2018 at 10:45 a.m. Emailed notice (Chang, Edmond)
