February 15, 2022 Filing 19 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: On review of the status report, R. 18, the parties made initial disclosures and exchanged the first-round of written discovery requests. The additional time to respond to the requests is granted, though technically not needed because the parties may agree to extensions of that type so long as the overall discovery deadline is not affected. Fed. R. Civ. P. 29(b). The motion to dismiss or to transfer #10 is under advisement. The tracking status hearing of 02/18/2022 is reset to 04/22/2022 at 8:30 a.m., but to track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called).

December 13, 2021 Filing 17 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: On review of the status report, R. 16, and the docket more generally, the motion to dismiss or to transfer #10 is now fully briefed and under advisement. Given the facial plausibility of the dismissal/transfer motion, the Court typically would pause the discovery. But neither side has asked to do that, and discovery would have to be taken whether in this forum or elsewhere. So, for now, the Court will allow discovery to move forward. The tracking status hearing of 12/17/2021 is reset to 02/18/2022 at 8:30 a.m., but to track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called).
