STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER REGARDING SETTLEMENT – MASTER CASE NO. 07-CV-5944 JST

Plaintiffs Best Buy Co., Inc., Best Buy Purchasing LLC, Best Buy Enterprise Services, Inc., 

Best Buy Stores, L.P., BestBuy.com, L.L.C. and Magnolia Hi-Fi, LLC (collectively, “Best Buy”) and 

Defendants Chunghwa Picture Tubes, Ltd. and Chunghwa Picture Tubes (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. 

(collectively, “Chunghwa”), by their respective attorneys, state as follows:

1. Best Buy commenced an action in the United States District Court for the Northern 

District of California entitled Best Buy Co., et al. v. Hitachi, Ltd., et al., Case No. 3:11-cv-05513, 

alleging violations of federal and state antitrust law in connection with trade and commerce in 

cathode ray tube products against Chunghwa and other defendants;

2. Best Buy and Chunghwa have entered into a comprehensive confidential written 

settlement agreement and the parties expect to file stipulations of dismissal with prejudice within 30 

days;

3. Chunghwa’s pending Motion for Summary Judgment on Direct Action Plaintiffs’ 

State Law Claims on Due Process Grounds (MDL Dkt. No. 2973), currently scheduled for hearing on 

March 28, 2016, remains pending as to only Best Buy and Chunghwa, and will be moot if, as 

expected, Best Buy files a dismissal with prejudice as to Chunghwa;

4. Chunghwa and Best Buy therefore request that the hearing on that motion be taken off 

calendar; and

5. This stipulation does not affect the rights or claims of Best Buy against any other 

defendant or alleged co-conspirator in this litigation.

WHEREFORE, Best Buy and Chunghwa stipulate and agree that the hearing on the summary 

judgment motion brought by Chunghwa at MDL Dkt. No. 2973 should be taken off calendar and 

need not be resolved by the Court at this time.

The undersigned parties jointly and respectfully request that the Court enter this stipulation as 

an order.

PURSUANT TO STIPULATION, IT IS SO ORDERED.
