September 12, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 271 MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Ana de Alba on 9/12/2023: (Text Only Entry) The Court's August 28, 2023 #269 order granting, in part, and denying, in part, Defendant SanMedica's #268 request to seal inadvertently restricted the number of pages Plaintiffs should file on the public docket from Exhibit 6 of their #249 opposition. The Court clarifies that its order addressed "SanMedica's sealing request only to the extent that it overlap[ped] with Plaintiff's citations." (ECF No. 268 at 4.) It also prohibited Plaintiffs from filing "deposition pages or exhibits to which they have not cited." (Id.) To the extent that there are pages from Exhibit 6, and the accompanying deposition Exhibit 105, to which Plaintiffs cited in their #249 opposition, but to which Defendant did not seek a sealing order, Plaintiffs should file those pages on the public docket without redaction. Because of this confusion, the Court will extend Plaintiffs' filing deadline. Therefore, Plaintiffs must comply with the August 28, 2023 #268 order and this minute order no later than September 15, 2023.(Hernandez, M) [Transferred from California Eastern on 12/8/2023.]

August 28, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 269 ORDER GRANTING IN PART AND DENYING IN PART Sanmedica's #268 Request to Seal signed by District Judge Ana de Alba on 8/28/2023. (Sant Agata, S) [Transferred from California Eastern on 12/8/2023.]
March 31, 2023 Filing 268 NOTICE of Request to Seal Document(s) pursuant to L.R. 141 by Sanmedica International LLC. (Ma, Stephen) [Transferred from California Eastern on 12/8/2023.]
March 17, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 267 MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Ana de Alba on 3/17/2023: (Text Only Entry)On October 22, 2022, Plaintiffs filed a #250 notice of request to seal documents in support of #249 Plaintiffs' opposition to Defendants' motions to dismiss on personal jurisdiction grounds. Plaintiffs seek to seal deposition transcripts, other documents, and portions of their opposition brief because the parties had labeled the information as "Confidential" during discovery. (ECF No. 250-1 at 2-3.) Pursuant to Judge de Alba's Standing Order in Civil Actions, however, "protective orders covering the discovery phase shall not govern the filing of sealed or redacted documents on the public docket." S.O. J. de Alba at 4. As the Standing Order explains, "The court will only consider requests to seal or redact filed by the proponent of sealing or redaction." Id. "If a party plans to make a filing that includes material an opposing party has identified as confidential and potentially subject to sealing, the filing party shall provide the opposing party with sufficient notice in advance of filing to allow the party to seek an order from the court regarding sealing or redacting the material in question." Id. at 4-5. Here, it is not clear whether Plaintiffs are the proponents of sealing or whether they are only seeking to seal the documents to comply with the terms of the protective order. Indeed, Plaintiffs state that they "do not believe all the testimony or the events surrounding the testimony and conduct of the deposition contain any non-public trade secrets or other matter that overrides the First Amendment and public's right to access judicial records, Defendant has not de-designated the Sealed Exhibits." (ECF No. 250-1 at 3.) As such, Plaintiffs' #250 request to seal is denied, without prejudice. If Defendants wish to seal any of the referenced documents, or to redact any portions thereof, they shall file a request pursuant to Local Rules 141 and 141.1 and Judge de Alba's Standing Order in Civil Actions, no later than March 31, 2023. Defendants' request to seal must identify the specific portions of the documents which they believe must be filed under seal and provide "the statutory or other authority for sealing, the requested duration, the identity, by name or category, or persons to be permitted access to the documents, and all other relevant information." E.D. Cal. R. 141(b). (Hernandez, M) [Transferred from California Eastern on 12/8/2023.]

August 31, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 232 MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Ana de Alba on 8/31/2022: (Text Only Entry) This matter is set for hearing before District Judge de Alba. The parties are ordered to submit a joint status report, not to exceed five pages, within 10 court days, that addresses the following: What is the procedural history of the case? Is the motion presently before the court still at issue for the parties? Have the parties engaged in settlement negotiations whether formally or informally? If so, when? Would the parties benefit from a mandatory settlement conference before a Magistrate Judge? Would the parties benefit from a status conference with Judge de Alba? The parties are further advised that due to the judicial resource emergency and COVID pandemic, there are more than 130 motions currently under submission in Judge de Alba's recently re-assigned caseload. The Court understands the impact that such a backlog has on the parties and although the Court will continue working diligently to resolve all pending motions, it may still be months before the parties' pending motion is resolved. As such, in light of having the heaviest district court caseload in the nation, limited Court resources, and the need to prioritize criminal and older civil matters over more recently filed actions, this Court strongly encourages the parties to consent to conduct all further proceedings before a U.S. Magistrate Judge.

August 30, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 230 MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Ana de Alba on 8/30/2022: (Text Only Entry) On August 29, 2022, defendant filed a #222 motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction and failure to state a claim or, in the alternative, to transfer venue. On August 24, 2022, Chief Judge Kimberly J. Mueller signed an #216 order reassigning this matter from Judge Dale A. Drozd to Judge Ana I. de Alba. Pursuant to Judge de Alba's Standing Order in Civil Actions, counsel must meet and confer prior to filing any motions. (See E.D. Cal. S.O. J. de Alba at 2.) The moving party must further include in its motion "a declaration that the parties exhausted meet and confer efforts, with a very brief summary of said efforts." (Id.) The #222 motion to dismiss that defendant filed contains no declaration regarding efforts to meet and confer. Therefore, defendant's #222 motion to dismiss is denied without prejudice. If, after meeting and conferring, defendant still wishes to file a motion to dismiss, that motion shall be filed no later than five (5) court days following the date of signature on this order. The parties are advised to first consult Local Rule 230 and Judge de Alba's Standing Order in Civil Actions, which can be found at ADA Standing Order 08242022.pdf (uscourts.gov). In particular, the court directs the parties to section (1)(a) of the Standing Order, which states that Judge de Alba's civil law and motions calendar is held on Monday afternoons at 1:30 p.m. in Courtroom 1. (Id. at 1.) (Hernandez, M) [Transferred from California Eastern on 12/8/2023.]

Good cause appearing, the court hereby grants defendants' #219 motion for administrative relief to extend their #222 motion to dismiss to no more than twenty-five (25) pages.

June 23, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 197 MINUTE ORDER signed by Magistrate Judge Sheila K. Oberto on 6/23/2022: (Text Only Entry) The Court has reviewed the parties' joint statement filed in connection with Defendant's motion for protective order directed to subpoenas issued to third parties Zions Bancorporation and Small Business Administration Holdings, Inc. (Docs. 193 & 196.) The Court observes that also pending is Defendant's prior-filed motion to strike Plaintiffs' Third Amended Complaint. (See Doc. #189 .) Defendant's motion to strike is pending before the assigned District Judge. The basis for Defendant's protective order is that the subpoenas seek irrelevant, merits-based discovery. (See Doc. #196 .) Plaintiffs respond that the discovery sought is germane to class certification and relevant because it goes to whether Defendants were the alter egos of each other, as pleaded in their Third Amended Complaint. (See id.) Because Plaintiffs' Third Amended Complaint is currently being challenged, the Court ORDERS that, in the interest of litigation economy and judicial efficiency, Defendant's pending motion for protective order (Doc. #193 ) is HELD IN ABEYANCE until Defendant's motion to strike is resolved. See, e.g., In re Morning Song Bird Food Litig., No. 12CV1592-JAH(RBB), 2013 WL 12143947, at *3 (S.D. Cal. Jan. 25, 2013) (Where, as here, the operative complaint is challenged by motion practice, "delaying discovery until the claims and defenses in the case are better defined reduces expenses, minimizes the burden of unnecessary discovery, and conserves judicial resources."). The hearing on the motion for protective order, currently set for July 6, 2022, is hereby VACATED, and a hearing will be re-set, if appropriate, after resolution of the motion to strike.
