MDL No. 1917 

Case No. C-07-5944-SC 

ORDER DENYING CERTAIN 

This Order Relates To: MATTERS AS MOOT 

ALL ACTIONS 

The Court turns now to four matters ripe for disposal. 

ECF No. 3200 is a Report and Recommendation ("R&R") by Special 

Master Vaughn R. Walker, United States District Judge (Ret.). The 

Court had ordered that no responsive briefing would be permitted 

until the Court directed otherwise. See ECF No. 3376. However, 

upon review of the underlying R&R, the Court finds the matter is 

MOOT and accordingly DENIES the R&R and underlying motion. 

ECF No. 3818 is another R&R, discussing deadlines for 

preliminary approval of class action settlements, deferring hearing 

and decisions on pending motions for summary judgment, and granting 

leave to Sharp entities to seek reconsideration of prior orders 

denying them additional time to opt out of the direct purchaser 

plaintiff ("DPP") class. The Court has already reviewed almost all 

preliminary class action settlements, and would welcome a timely 

settlement between Mitsubishi defendants and the DPPs. If

For the Northern District of California 

deadlines are necessary, the Court will announce them. The Court 

has also made its own plans clear with respect to timing of 

decisions on motions, in part based on the advice offered by the 

Special Master in this R&R. See, e.g., ECF No. 3969 at 9-10. 

Finally, Sharp's concern over opting out of the DPP class has been 

resolved. Therefore, the prior orders of the Court stand, and 

without disagreeing with any of the contents of the R&R at ECF No. 

3818, the R&R is nonetheless deemed MOOT and accordingly DENIED. 

ECF Nos. 2751 and 3214 are motions for extensions related to 

matters which have passed. Therefore, the Court finds both MOOT 

and accordingly DENIES the motions. 

 IT IS SO ORDERED.
