 On October 5, 2006, the Court stayed the instant action pending resolution of an

interlocutory appeal to the Federal Circuit and conclusion of proceedings before the

International Trade Commission (“ITC”). On January 3, 2007, the Federal Circuit denied

the interlocutory appeal. (See Docket No. 54.) To date, the ITC proceedings have not

concluded.

’531 patent’) or United States Patent No. 6,580,258 (‘the ’258 patent’)” and from “stating or

For the reasons set forth by Linear in its opposition, the motion is hereby DENIED.

This order terminates Docket No. 57.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
