Following the Court's announcement of a transition plan last week, the Court issued an implementing standing order on Wednesday, and today we saw a wave of reassignments from Judge Stark cases—all to Judge Andrews.
A number of cases were re-assigned, including:
- American Axle & Manufacturing, Inc. v. Neapco Holdings LLC, C.A. No. 15-1168 (D. Del.)
- Future Link Systems, LLC v. Amlogic Holdings, Ltd., C.A. No. 21-634 (D. Del.)
- Finjan LLC v. Trustwave Holdings, Inc., C.A. No. 20-371 (D. Del.)
- Celanese International Corporation v. Anhui Jinhe Industrial Co., Ltd., C.A. No. 20-1775 (D. Del.)
In each case, Judge Andrews ordered the parties to produce a status report within one week.
I see no obvious pattern among the cases reassigned so far. The schedules and case status vary widely, including one case that just got a scheduling order in January, and another that is six years old and currently on appeal (American Axle). The cases also cover a range of subject matters.
There are still cases that haven't been re-assigned, so we'll plan to update this post if there are further developments over the next few days.
