ORDER. The parties are ordered to inform the Court by Friday whether they stipulate to the pending motion to dismiss in Kadrey applying to the Chabon case as well. Since the complaint in Chabon is essentially a carbon copy of the complaint in Kadrey, there should be no reason to consider the motions to dismiss separately (and no reason to push back the hearing on the pending motion to dismiss). Signed by Judge Vince Chhabria on September 25, 2023. (This is a text-only entry generated by the court. There is no document associated with this entry.) (vclc1, COURT STAFF) |
