TO ALL PARTIES AND COUNSEL OF RECORD:
In light of the Joint Case Management Conference Statement, (Dkt. No. 834), the Court hereby ORDERS as follows:
1. The Court understands, based upon the representations of the parties, that one of the above-captioned cases, Eun Koo Chong v. Asiana Airlines et al. Case No. 14-CV-05510, has settled. Accordingly, all pending motion, case management, and trial dates in the Eun Koo Chong matter are VACATED. A compliance hearing shall be held on the Court's 9:01 a.m. calendar on Friday, September 29, 2017, in Courtroom 1 of the United States Courthouse located at 1301 Clay Street in Oakland, California. By no later than 5 business days prior to the date of the compliance hearing, the parties shall file (a) a proposed Stipulation of Dismissal and Application for Approval of Minor's Compromise; or (b) a one-page JOINT STATEMENT setting forth an explanation regarding the failure to comply. If compliance is complete, the parties need not appear and the compliance hearing will be taken off calendar. Telephonic appearances will be allowed if the parties have submitted a joint statement in a timely fashion.
2. Pursuant to the Court's Trial Setting Order, (Dkt. No. 795), the trial dates are confirmed and/or revised as follows:
Trial Date Case Number Case Title
September 25, 2017 14-CV-01486 Kyung Rhan Rha v. Asiana Airlines et al
October 23, 2017 14-CV-05603 Eugene Rah v. Asiana Airlines, Inc. et al
November 6, 2017 15-CV-03511 Sook Young Hyun v. Asiana Airlines et al
(Limited to Sook Young Hyun's personal
injury claim and Hyan Seob Oh's derivative
loss of consortium claim.)1

November 28, 2017 15-CV-00053 Woo Lee Han v. Asiana Airlines et al
(Separate trials for each remaining non-settling
crew member plaintiff begin. Trial
order to be determined.)2
3. In light of plaintiffs' non-opposition to the motion of defendant Asiana Airlines, Inc. ("Asiana") for an order to determine damages law applicable to claims by plaintiffs Jeong Mi Lee, Ji Youn Kim, Jin Hee Lee, Woo Lee Han, Yun Ju Kim, and Sook Young Hyun, against Asiana, (Dkt. No. 829), Asiana's Motion is GRANTED. Accordingly, the Court finds that South Korea damages law and standards to determine the quantum of damages apply to the claims of plaintiffs Jeong Mi Lee, Ji Youn Kim, Jin Hee Lee, Woo Lee Han, Yun Ju Kim, and Sook Young Hyun, against Asiana.
4. With respect to the parties' request for clarification, (Dkt. No. 834 at 4:16), the Court generally requires the filing of discovery designations so that parties cannot expand the designations in the future. That said, given the parties' cooperative approach, the Court APPROVES a mutual exchange without filing.
5. The Court hereby relieves Brian Alexander of Kreindler & Kreindler LLP of plaintiffs' liaison counsel duties. No further liaison counsel shall be appointed.
6. In light of Dkt. No. 832, the Court ORDERS the caption in Hyun v. The Boeing Company, Case No. 15-CV-03507, revised as follows:
Case Number Current Caption Revised Caption

This Order terminates Dkt. No. 829.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
FootNotes
1. Hyan Seob Oh's separate claim for personal injuries and Sook Young Hyun's derivative loss of consortium claim will be tried as Group 2 claims.
2. The Court understands the remaining non-settling crew members to be Woo Lee Han, Ji Youn Kim, Yun Ju Kim, and Jin Hee Lee.
