Joint Statement Case Nos. 4:16-cv-588 

4:16-cv-6283; 4:17-cv-323 

-2- 

Judge Richard J. Sullivan in the Southern District of New York. Those cases are: Grecia v. 

MasterCard Inc., 15-cv-9059; Grecia v. Visa Inc., 15-cv-9210 (collectively, the “Credit Card 

Actions”); Grecia v. Samsung Electronics America, 16-cv-9691 (the “Samsung Action”); and 

Grecia v. 1-800-Flowers.com, Inc., 16-cv-7022; Grecia v. BestBuy.com, LLC, 16-cv-7024; 

Grecia v. J Crew Group, Inc., 16-cv-7025; and Grecia v. Adorama Camera, Inc., 16-cv-7111 

(these four, collectively, the “Retailer Actions”).1 This joint statement and stipulation will be 

submitted in the DISH, Adobe, and Target cases.

By the Court Orders referenced above, this Court stayed the captioned cases pending the 

issuance of a claim construction order by Judge Sullivan in the Credit Card Actions.2 (D.I. 52, 33, 

and 41.) 

On April 3, 2017, Judge Sullivan lifted a stay of the Credit Card Actions and the Samsung 

Action and ordered the parties thereto to submit a case management plan. On April 12, 2017, 

Judge Sullivan entered a case management plan in those cases which inter alia set dates for claim 

construction exchanges and briefing through November 28, with a hearing to follow at the court’s 

convenience. (S.D.N.Y. Case No. 15-cv-9059, D.I. 48 at 6.) The parties in the Credit Card 

Actions and the Samsung Action are engaged in the claim construction process and have 

exchanged proposed constructions. (S.D.N.Y. Case No. 15-cv-9059, D.I. 60 at 2.) The Retailer 

Actions remain stayed pending the issuance of Judge Sullivan’s claim construction order and no 

substantive events have transpired therein since this Court’s February/March, 2017 orders. 

In light of the foregoing, Grecia and Defendants ask on stipulation that this Court continue 

its stay of these actions pending Judge Sullivan’s claim construction order and reset the 

 

1

 Since the Court’s March 6, 2017 order, two related cases once pending before Judge Sullivan 

have been dismissed: Grecia v. American Express Co., 15-cv-9217 (settled on February 26, 

2017); and Grecia v. Neiman Marcus Group, Inc., 16-cv-7026 (settled on April 22, 2017). 

2 Adobe did not, however, agree to be bound by Judge Sullivan’s claim construction order. (D.I. 

33 at 2.) The stay in the Target case (4:17-cv-00323) was not the result of a stipulated request but 

of Target’s motion. (Dkt. No. 25). DISH and Target have not agreed to be bound by Judge 

Sullivan’s claim construction order either. The Defendants reserve their rights to raise their 

requests to stay the cases beyond the issuance of Judge Sullivan’s claim construction order as 

appropriate.
