UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TASION COMMUNICATIONS, INC., et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

UBIQUITI NETWORKS, INC., et al.,

Defendants.

No. C-13-1803 EMC

ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT’S

MOTION TO FILE SUR-REPLY

(Docket No. 199)

Defendant Ubiquiti Networks, Inc. has filed a motion to strike certain portions of Plaintiffs’

reply in support of their motion for class certification. In the alternative, Ubiquiti asks for leave to

file a limited sur-reply. Plaintiffs have opposed Ubiquiti’s motion.

Both parties have taken extreme positions in their papers. For example, Ubiquiti casts

Section IX of the reply as a brand new motion for class certification, see Mot. at 4, but issues classes

were raised in Plaintiffs’ opening brief and some of the issues were substantively addressed, albeit

not in the section on issues classes specifically. On the other hand, Plaintiffs argue that they “could

only surmise in their Moving Papers what an Issues Class might look like,” Resp. at 8, but for

Plaintiffs to disavow their burden and claim that they had to wait and see what Ubiquiti would say in

opposition first is completely untenable.

The Court concludes that the best approach is not to strike Plaintiffs’ reply brief but rather to

GRANT the alternative relief sought by Ubiquiti. Ubiquiti shall file a sur-reply – limited to the

issue of issues classes/subclasses – by July 1, 2015. The sur-reply shall be no longer than seven (7)

pages.

This order disposes of Docket No. 199.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 29, 2015
