MDL No. 1917

Case No. C-07-5944-SC

ORDER WITHDRAWING REFERENCE 

TO SPECIAL MASTER OF

TOSHIBA'S MOTION TO COMPEL

This Order Relates To:

Toshiba America Information 

Systems, Inc.'s Letter Brief 

Regarding Plaintiffs' Discovery 

Deficiency.

On May 6, 2014, the Special Master informed the Court that the 

Toshiba Defendants intend to move to compel Plaintiffs ABC 

Appliance, MARTA, and P.C. Richard ("Plaintiffs") to produce 

settlement agreements concerning the claims they assert in their 

complaint. The Court finds that the parties would likely seek 

review of the Special Master's decision on this motion. 

Consideration of the motion by the Special Master would, therefore, 

likely entail unnecessary duplication of time and effort by the 

parties, and would prolong the resolution of important legal 

issues.

United States District Court

For the Northern District of California

The Court accordingly WITHDRAWS the reference of Toshiba's 

motion to the Special Master, places the motion on its own docket, 

and instructs the parties to calendar and brief the motion before 

the undersigned. 

Once Toshiba has filed its motion with the Court, Plaintiffs 

will have fifteen days to file an opposition, after which Toshiba 

will have ten days to file a reply. The opposition brief may be no 

longer than ten pages, and the reply may be no longer than five. 

After the parties file their briefs, the Court will decide the 

motion on the papers. If the parties resolve this issue on their 

own, as they are highly encouraged to do, they should inform the 

Court and withdraw the motion.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: May 8, 2014
