UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

IN RE: LITHIUM ION BATTERIES 

ANTITRUST LITIGATION Master File No. 13-MD-2420 YGR

Case No. 15-CV-02199-YGR 

ORDER RESETTING HEARING ON 

DEFENDANTS’ MOTION TO DISMISS CLAIMS 

UNDER FLORIDA LAW

 

This Order Relates to: 

 

TRACFONE WIRELESS, INC., 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

LG CHEMICAL LTD., ET AL., 

Defendants.

On March 9, 2016, the Court vacated the hearing on defendants’ joint motion to dismiss 

plaintiff TracFone Wireless, Inc.’s claims under Florida law (Master File, Dkt. No. 1017; Case 

No. 15-CV-2199, Dkt. No. 25) and ordered supplemental briefing addressing why this Court 

should not delay ruling on the motion until later in the case, when similar issues may arise in 

connection with the underlying multidistrict litigation. (Dkt. No. 1139.) Plaintiff TracFone 

Wireless, Inc. “does not object to that course of action.” (Dkt. No. 1155 at 1.) Defendants, while 

requesting an immediate decision, concede “any decision [now reached] may become the ‘law of 

the case,’ or at least serve as persuasive authority in the underlying multi-district litigation.” (Dkt. 

No. 1156 at 3.) Having reviewed the filings and considered the arguments presented therein, the 

Court defers ruling on the pending motion at this time and SETS a hearing on the motion on 

Friday, November 18, 2016 at 2 p.m.

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: March 18, 2016
