OPINION

Plaintiff Chester Carroll brings this 

patent-infringement lawsuit against defendant Texas 

Instruments, Inc., claiming that Texas Instruments 

directly and indirectly infringed his patents through 

the manufacture and sale of analog-to-digital 

converters. This lawsuit is now before the court on 

the United States Magistrate Judge’s recommendation 

that Texas Instruments’ motion for summary judgment 

should be granted. Also before the court are Carroll’s 

objections to that recommendation. After an 

independent and de novo review of the record, the court 

Case 2:11-cv-01037-MHT-TFM Document 69 Filed 03/30/15 Page 1 of 2
concludes that Carroll’s objections should be overruled 

and the recommendation adopted. Ever since the 

recommendation was entered and even after Carroll 

obtained new counsel, he has still yet to develop and 

submit his infringement contentions or otherwise 

indicate that he is near ready.

An appropriate judgment will be entered.

DONE, this the 30th day of March, 2015.
