Johnson and Poole are stayed pending final resolution of Fayerweather v. Comcast Corporation and Comcast of Contra Costa, Inc., Superior Court of California in and for Contra Costa County No. C-08-01470. The parties in Johnson and Poole have been ordered to submit status reports to this court every 120 days, which are currently overdue.
Second, Canaday v. Comcast Corp., 15-cv-04648-JSW; Ortega v. Comcast Corp., 15-cv-04676-JSW; Williams v. Comcast Corp., 15-cv-04732-JSW; Valencia v. Comcast Corp., 15-cv-04771-JSW; Coleman v.

Plaintiffs in these cases were previously class members in the Fayerweather action. The Court has set a trial date in Canaday and Valencia. The Court has set a cut-off for fact discovery in Ortega, Williams, Coleman, Nelson, DuBois, and Peters that follows the trials in Canaday and Valencia. A further case management conference is scheduled in these eight related cases for September 9, 2016 at 11:00 a.m.
The Court hereby ORDERS the parties in each of the above-captioned cases to meet and confer with each other regarding whether these ten cases should all be related to each other or otherwise coordinated. See N.D. Cal. Civil L.R. 1-5(n), 3-12. Additionally, the Court ORDERS the parties in each of the above-captioned cases to meet and confer regarding whether a stay of any or all of these cases remains, or is now, appropriate under Colorado River Water Conservation District v. United States, 424 U.S. 800, 818-19 (1976). Following the meet-and-confer process, the parties shall file a joint status report and/or an appropriate motion in each of these ten cases, no later than August 1, 2016, addressing the issues raised in this order. The parties are encouraged to file a single joint status report in all ten of the related cases, which may have separate subsections for case-specific topics. The parties may also file case-specific joint status reports as necessary.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
