Last Monday and in the days following—in the KOJI IP LLC case against Renesas Electronics that led to two court orders imposing sanctions (on the plaintiff and/or its counsel, Ramey LLP, as well as on three Ramey LLP attorneys personally)—the sanctioned parties have filed (1) a (corrected) motion for relief from the first sanctions order, which focuses mostly on the unauthorized practice of law; (2) a motion for relief from the second sanctions order, which focuses mostly on a shift of attorney fees; (3) a notice of appeal to the Federal Circuit of both sanctions orders; (4) an “emergency” motion to stay enforcement of certain of those sanctions; and (5) a motion for relief from an interim order from presiding Magistrate Judge Peter H. Kang setting a schedule for Renesas to brief only the propriety of the sanctioned parties’ request for expedited briefing. Renesas has done so, noting multiple ways in which the sanctioned parties’ motions do not comply with local rules. Renesas nevertheless suggests a two-tiered briefing schedule: a pair of dates for briefing concerning the threshold issue of whether the parties actually consented to proceed before Judge Kang and a pair of dates for briefing whether to stay enforcement of the court’s sanctions, the gravity of which Renesas acknowledges and which the sanctioned parties have characterized as “potentially career ending”.
