VERBATIM AMERICA, LLC,

Defendant.

On June 4, 2014, the Court consolidated these cases for pretrial purposes. 

(E.Digital v. G. Skill, Case No. 13-cv-2902, Doc. No. 16.) On June 11, 2014, the

1

Court issued a consolidated scheduling order setting the claims construction hearing

for these cases and setting the due dates for the claims construction briefs. (Id., Doc.

No. 22, ¶11.) 

On October 7, 2014, the defendants in the remaining cases in the second group

of the consolidated action filed a motion to consolidate their claims construction

proceedings with the claims construction proceedingsin the first group of cases. (Doc.

No. 38.) Defendants have not shown good cause for altering the existing schedule. 

See Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b)(4). Moreover, the Court has discretion to control its docket. 

Landis v. N. Am. Co., 299 U.S. 248, 254, 57 S. Ct. 163, 166, 81 L. Ed. 153 (1936). 

The Court has already set the schedule for this group of cases. Exercising its

discretion, the Court denies the motion to consolidate the claims construction

proceedings without prejudice. Accordingly, the Court vacates the hearing set for

November 17, 2014. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: October 9, 2014
