Equipment Rentals LLC” in the Complaint) and Trucks And Machinery 

for Industry LLC (erroneously named “TMI Concrete Washout & 

Equipment Rentals LLC” in the Complaint) declined to sign the 

SAJSR or suggest any changes. (SAJSR at 2.) The court hereby 

vacates the Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Conference scheduled for 

January 20, 2015, and makes the following findings and orders 

without needing to consult with the parties any further.

I. SERVICE OF PROCESS

The SAJSR indicates that all parties have been served. 

No further service is permitted without leave of court, good 

cause having been shown under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 

16(b).

II. JOINDER OF PARTIES/AMENDMENTS

Plaintiff states that it will amend its Complaint to 

reflect the true names of Trucks and Equipment Rentals LLC and 

Trucks And Machinery for Industry LLC. After January 26, 2015,

no further joinder of parties or amendments to pleadings will be 

permitted except with leave of court, good cause having been 

shown under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16(b). See Johnson 

v. Mammoth Recreations, Inc., 975 F.2d 604 (9th Cir. 1992).

III. JURISDICTION/VENUE

Plaintiff predicates jurisdiction on 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 

and 1338, because this case arises under an Act of Congress 

relating to patents and plaintiff alleges patent infringement 

pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 271. Defendants Terrell Moran and 

Terrell Moran, Inc. have consented to venue in this district. 

Defendants Trucks and Equipment Rentals LLC and Trucks 

And Machinery for Industry LLC have moved to dismiss pursuant to

required by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(a)(1) by no later

2016, at 2:00 p.m. in Courtroom No. 5. The conference shall be

days.

In providing the plain, concise statements of 

undisputed facts and disputed factual issues contemplated by 

Local Rule 281(b)(3)-(4), the parties shall emphasize the claims 

that remain at issue, and any remaining affirmatively pled 

defenses thereto. If the case is to be tried to a jury, the 

parties shall also prepare a succinct statement of the case, 

which is appropriate for the court to read to the jury.

settlement authority present at the Settlement Conference or to 

be fully authorized to settle the matter on any terms. At least
