JOINT STATUS REPORT

Plaintiff Oracle America, Inc. (“Oracle”) and defendant the State of Oregon (the “State”), 

by and through the Oregon Health Authority (“OHA”), the Oregon Department of Human 

Services (“DHS”), and the Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services (“DCBS”) 

(as successor to the Oregon Health Insurance Exchange Corporation), submit the following Joint 

Status Report as directed by the Court’s November 18, 2015 Order:

1. The State, by and through OHA and DHS, intends to take an appeal of the Court’s 

November 18, 2015 Opinion and Order (Dkt. 156) denying its motion for summary judgment 

(Dkt. 92) and granting Oracle’s cross-motion for summary judgment (Dkt. 104). Pursuant to the 

collateral order doctrine, the Court’s Opinion and Order on these motions is a “final decision” 

under 28 U.S.C.A. § 1291 and the State, by and through OHA and DHS, may file an appeal 

without any further action by the Court. The State, by and through OHA and DHS, will file a 

notice of appeal on or before December 17, 2015.

2. Oracle intends to take an appeal of the Court’s November 18, 2015 Opinion and 

Order granting the State’s, by and through DCBS, motion for judgment on the pleadings (Dkt. 

142). Oracle believes that the Court of Appeals may exercise pendant jurisdiction over its appeal 

based on its jurisdiction over OHA and DHS’s appeal. In the interest of eliminating any 

uncertainty about whether Oracle’s appeal may proceed in tandem with the OHA and DHS 

appeal, however, Oracle requests that pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54(b) the 

Court enter final judgment with respect to Oracle’s claim against DCBS. The State, by and 

through DCBS, does not oppose this request. In an abundance of caution, and to avoid confusion 

regarding the proper timing for filing its notice of appeal, Oracle asks the Court to enter that final 

Case 3:14-cv-01279-BR Document 158 Filed 12/07/15 Page 2 of 4

judgment before December 17, 2015, which would be the deadline for filing a notice of appeal 

were Oracle to seek to directly appeal based on a pendant jurisdiction analysis.

3. The parties propose that all further case scheduling matters be deferred until the 

appeals are resolved.

DATED this 7th day of December, 2015.
