PETER SCHUMAN, et al.,
Plaintiffs,
v.
MICROCHIP TECHNOLOGY
INCORPORATED, et al.,
Defendants.
Case No. 16-cv-05544-HSG
ORDER SETTING BENCH TRIAL
In August 2025, the Court lifted the stay and reopened the case in light of the Ninth
Circuit’s mandate. See Dkt. No. 210. Defendants have since moved to decertify the class, Dkt.
No. 218, which the parties are still briefing and the Court will decide in due course. In the
meantime, and as discussed at the last case management conference, the Court will set a bench
trial. The Court requested the parties to meet and confer regarding their availability for trial in
2026. See Dkt. No. 213. The parties did not agree on trial dates and listed various conflicts for
parties and counsel. See Dkt. No. 216. Given the demands of the Court’s docket, and the
unlikelihood that the parties will find a window that works best for everyone, the Court SETS the
following deadlines pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16 and Civil Local Rule 16-10:
Event Deadline
Pretrial Conference June 16, 2026, at 3:00 p.m.
Bench Trial (7 days) July 9, 2026, at 8:30 a.m.
