United States District Court 

Northern District of California 

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

AFFINITY LABS OF TEXAS LLC,

 Plaintiff, 

 v. 

SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD., et al., 

 Defendants. 

Lead Case No.: 14-CV-2717 YGR

And related case: 14-CV-2966 YGR 

 

ORDER INCORPORATING DOCKET IN 

RELATED CASE AND ADMINISTRATIVELY 

CLOSING THE SAME

On March 12, 2015, the Court issued an Order to Show Cause why Case No. 14-cv-2966 

should not be administratively terminated. (Dkt. No. 87.) As the Court noted, Lead Case No. 14-

cv-2717 and Related Case No. 14-cv-2966 refer to the same underlying action, which has two case 

numbers—with separate sets of filings—in light of the unique procedural history of the case and its 

piecemeal transfer to this Court. (See Dkt. No. 55 at 1-2.) Only plaintiff responded to the order to 

show cause by the response deadline, indicating no objection “in principle” to the administrative 

closure of Case No. 14-cv-2966, but seeking to ensure the Lead Case docket incorporates the 

docket entries and filings from the closed docket. (Dkt. No. 95.) Therefore, the Court hereby 

ORDERS: (1) that the docket entries and filings in Case No. 14-cv-2966 be deemed incorporated 

into Lead Case No. 14-cv-2717; and (2) that the Clerk administratively close the docket in Case 

No. 14-cv-2966, but preserve those filings, as is done in the normal course. Future filings should 

be made only on the Lead Case docket, not on the administratively closed docket. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
