Neither the Federal Circuit nor the US Supreme Court intervened—as KOJI IP LLC and its sanctioned Ramey LLP lawyers had repeatedly requested—to stop a hearing before Northern District of California Magistrate Judge Peter H. Kang this past Wednesday to consider at least some of Ramey’s “objections” to a pair of sanctions orders for the conduct of serial cases filed against Renesas Electronics. On Friday, Judge Kang posted a summary text order, promising a memorandum “in due course”. The relief that the sanctioned parties sought has been denied, the court ruling that all parties consented to proceed before a magistrate; that any reconsideration of the underlying orders is procedurally improper and problematic on the merits; that a stay of those orders pending appeal, characterized as “both premature and substantively weak”, is denied; and that the deadlines—including one on April 26, 2025 to self-report the sanctions imposed to state governing bodies as well as to other federal courts and to pay monetary fines tied to unpaid pro hac vice application fees—remain “as set”.
