IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

Advanced Microtherm, Inc., et al.,

Plaintiffs,

 v.

Norman Wright Mechanical Equip. Corp., et al.,

Defendants. /

NO. C 04-02266 JW 

ORDER ADOPTING THE SPECIAL

MASTER’S DISCOVERY REPORT #35;

SETTING HEARING FOR THE FIRST

SERIES OF MOTIONS FOR

SUMMARY JUDGMENT

Presently before the Court is the Special Master’s Discovery Report Number Thirty-Five. 

(See Docket Item No. 521.) There is no objection by Defendants. Plaintiffs filed two responses. 

(See Docket Item No. 522, 523.) Plaintiffs continue to argue that their motion to lift the five project

limitation should be heard first. (Id.) Having reviewed the Special Master’s recommendation and

Plaintiffs’ responses, the Court finds good cause to adopt the Special Master’s recommendation with

respect to the order in which the Court should hear the remaining motions. Accordingly, the Court

will conduct a hearing on the following motions first:

(1) Defendant NSW’s Motion for Summary Judgment re: Standing;

(2) Defendant NSW’s Motion for Summary Judgment re: Lack of Causation;

(3) Defendant NSW’s Motion for Partial Summary Judgment re: Liability; and 

(4) Defendant F.W. Spencer’s Motion for Summary Judgment 

The hearing is set for September 29, 2008 at 9 a.m. As this case is over six years old, the

Court has a strong desire to narrow the issues and to advance it to trial. Accordingly, the parties

may not Stipulate to a different hearing date.
