Re: Dkt. No. 50 

In a Joint Status Report (Dkt. No. 50) filed on February 17, 2017, Plaintiff William Grecia 

(“Grecia”) and Defendant DISH Network LLC (“DISH”) jointly requested to stay the instant case 

until a claim construction order is issued in the patent infringement cases filed by Grecia in the 

Southern District of New York against MasterCard Inc. (15-cv-9059), Visa Inc. (15-cv-9210), 

American Express Co. (15-cv-9217), Samsung Electronics America (16-cv-9691), and five 

retailers, all pending before Judge Richard J. Sullivan. Id. at 2-3. 

In light of the foregoing, the case is STAYED, pending Judge Sullivan’s claim construction 

order. By September 8, 2017, the parties shall file a joint statement informing the Court of the 

status of the cases pending before Judge Sullivan. The Court SETS a Compliance Hearing for 

Friday, September 15, 2017 at 9:01 a.m. in Courtroom 1 of the Federal Courthouse at 1301 Clay 

Street, Oakland, California. If the joint statement is timely filed, no appearance may be required 

and the Compliance Hearing may be taken off calendar. Telephonic appearances will be allowed 

if the statement has been submitted timely and the Court deems the hearing necessary. If at any 

time the cases resolve or Judge Sullivan issues a claim construction order, the parties shall so 

notify the Court with a joint statement filed within five (5) business days thereafter. Failure to file
