UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On September 16, 2016, the Ninth Circuit issued an opinion in this matter. See Doc. No. 

164. The Ninth Circuit affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded this Court’s decision 

regarding Defendant’s renewed motion for judgment as a matter of law. See id. In relevant part, 

the Ninth Circuit remitted the punitive damages award to $352,000, and remanded the matter for a 

“new trial if [Plaintiff] declines to accept [the Ninth Circuit’s] remittitur.” Id. 

The Clerk of this Court reopened this case on September 19, 2016.

A review of the Ninth Circuit docket indicates that Plaintiff has accepted the Ninth’s 

Circuit’s remittitur on September 30, 2016. See Ninth Circuit Docket in Case No. 14-17580, 

Document No. 53.

On October 12, 2016, the Ninth Circuit issued its mandate. See Doc. No. 165.

Given Plaintiff’s acceptance of the remittitur, and the now reopened status of this case, it is 

appropriate for the parties to file a joint status report. The parties should include in their joint 

status report whether this case should remain open. If the parties fail to file a timely status report, 

the Court will close this case without further notice.
