MOTION by Plaintiff Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation to transfer case

STATUS Report by Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeffrey I Cummings: The Court has reviewed plaintiff's motion to transfer 11, in which plaintiff maintains that this case should be transferred to Judge Valderrama based on the prior dismissal of defendant Lp Direct in a case before him involving the same plaintiff, Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation v. Schedule A, Case No. 25-cv-6491. Although plaintiff represents that Judge Valderrama "routinely requires plaintiff[s] in Schedule A cases to sever down to one (1) defendant," there is no indication that Judge Valderrama issued such an order here or otherwise dismissed defendant Lp Direct without prejudice in that matter. Instead, plaintiff amended the complaint on its own accord. As such, there does not appear to be a basis to transfer this case under Local Rule 40.3(b)(2), which allows for direct assignment "[w]hen a case is dismissed with prejudice or without." Moreover, although plaintiff represents in its 9/4/25 status report that Case No. 25-cv-6491 remains pending before Judge Valderrama, this Court's review of the docket indicates that plaintiff voluntarily dismissed that case on 8/20/25. For all of these reasons, plaintiff's motion to transfer 11 is denied and the case will proceed before this Court. Plaintiff's previously filed motion to seal 8 is granted. On or before 11/5/25, the parties shall file a joint initial status report in accordance with the template available on the Court's website under the case management procedure titled "Initial Status Report for Newly Filed Cases." The parties shall also review all of the case management procedures and standing orders available on the Court's website, including the Court's case management procedure for motions to dismiss. Initial tracking status hearing set for 11/17/25 at 9:00 a.m. to track the case only (no appearance is required and the case will not be called). Instead, the Court will review the parties' joint initial status report and enter further orders as appropriate. Mailed notice
