MINUTE entry before the Honorable Blanche M. Manning: The court will consider Google's motion to dismiss 17 before Limitnone's
motion to remand. Accordingly, briefing shall proceed as follows on the motion to dismiss: Limitnone's response is due August 19, 2008, and Google's reply is due September 2, 2008. The
court will rule by mail. Limitnone's motion for leave to file a motion to remand 12 is denied without prejudice. It is
premature, since Limitnone has not fully complied with the court's standing order, and in any event, the court declines to consider Limitnone's arguments about preemption unless and until
it determines that venue is proper in Illinois. Limitnone may renew its motion if the court finds that venue is proper in Illinois. Google's motions to stay discovery 23 and for leave to file a document under seal 20 are granted. Mailed

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Blanche M. Manning: On September 22, 2008, this court entered an order transferring this action to the United States District Court for the Northern
District of California. Pursuant to Local Rule 83.4, the clerk may not transfer this case prior to October 6, 2008. On September 26, 2008, Limitnone filed a motion seeking to stay the
September 22d transfer order. In its motion, Limitnone asserts that it intends to file a petition for a writ of mandamus and argues that a stay is necessary to give the Seventh Circuit an
opportunity to consider the merits of its promised petition before the case is transferred. Limitnone noticed its motion to stay for October 1, 2008, and Google's out-of-town counsel
contacted the court's clerk today to determine if an appearance is necessary tomorrow. It appears that Limitnone has not yet filed the promised petition for a writ of mandamus with the
appellate court, despite the fact that this court issued its transfer order nine days ago on September 22d. Accordingly, Limitnone's motion to stay 46 is denied without prejudice.Mailed notice (rth, ) (Entered: October 1, 2008)
