IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RIVERDEEP, INC.,

Plaintiff,

 v.

COKEM INTERNATIONAL, LTD. and

CHUCK BOND

Defendants. /

No. C 06-04340 WHA

ORDER RE REQUEST 

TO STAY ACTION

This action is one of two pending between these parties in the federal courts. The other

action is pending in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota. CV 06-0331. 

In this action, defendants have filed a motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction and a

motion to compel arbitration, which are scheduled for hearing on September 28, 2006. The

parties now submit a stipulated proposed order to submit to venue in Minnesota, to take the

pending motions off calendar in this Court, and to “stay” this action pending resolution by the

Minnesota court of the issue of arbitrability. The Court would like justification from the parties

why this action should be stayed rather than simply dismissed without prejudice to re-file

should the Minnesota court be unable to adjudicate the parties’ disputes. Accordingly, by no

later than noon on September 8, 2006, this order requests briefing from each side of no more

than two pages as to why this action should not be dismissed. Until then, the pending motions

remain on calendar for September 28.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
