IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SAN JOSE DIVISION

U.S. Ethernet Innovations, LLC,

Plaintiff,

 v.

Acer, Inc., et al.,

Defendants. /

NO. C 10-03724 JW 

ORDER REFERRING CASE TO ACTING

CHIEF MAGISTRATE JUDGE SPERO

FOR DETERMINATION OF

APPROPRIATE REASSIGNMENT

On January 4, 2011, the Court referred Plaintiff’s Motion to Compel Interrogatory Responses

and Documents from Defendant Hewlett Packard Co.1 to Magistrate Judge Lloyd for disposition in

light of Magistrate Judge Grewal’s recusal from the case. (See Docket Item Nos. 478, 479.) On the

same day, Judge Lloyd also filed an Order of Recusal from the case. (See Docket Item No. 480.)

Accordingly, the Court refers this matter to Acting Chief Magistrate Judge Spero for

determination of appropriate reassignment of this case to another magistrate judge to: (1) resolve the

pending Motion; and (2) for permanent assignment to resolve all future discovery disputes in

accordance with the Civil Local Rules of Court. Once Judge Spero makes his determination, the

moving party shall renotice its Motion before the newly assigned magistrate judge in accordance

with that Judge’s civil calendar.
