Earlier this year, Western District of Texas Judge Lee Yeakel retired, joining King & Spalding as senior counsel. The cases over which Judge Yeakel presided at the time have since been farmed out to other judges, including a suit filed by inventor-controlled Identity Security LLC (f/k/a Integrated Information Solutions Corporation) against Apple (6:21-cv-00460). Then pending was an opposed Apple motion to stay the litigation to await the outcome of certain ex parte reexamination (EPR) proceedings before the USPTO. On June 7, the suit was reassigned to District Judge Alan D. Albright, who held an oral argument on June 16 and denied the motion on June 29.
