"Fracking'

That's what the defendants did by subpoena(frack)

IMO, The original judge allowed(ordered) the request for the frack...how long would an order of that nature take in forcing e.Digital and Samsung to cough it up.

"A redacted version of the 2009 Patent Cross License and Settlement Agreement (“Settlement Agreement”) between e.Digital and Samsung was obtained from e.Digital and Samsung pursuant to subpoena on June 19, 2013 which is Exhibit 1 to the Request for Judicial Notice."

She resigned form the case...

Pacer filed 04/26/2013...."MINUTE ORDER OF RECUSAL. Judge Cathy Ann Bencivengo is no longer assigned.Case reassigned to Judge Janis L. Sammartino for all further proceedings."

Would have to read doc 32 for exact date of resignation.

and then the big judge shuffle...

Pacer filed 04/29/2013 "MINUTE ORDER OF RECUSAL. Judge Janis L. Sammartino is no longer assigned. Case reassigned to Judge Roger T. Benitez for all further proceedings."

Pacer filed 05/01/2013 MINUTE ORDER OF RECUSAL. Judge Roger T. Benitez is no longer assigned. Case reassigned to Judge Dana M. Sabraw for all further proceedings.

Did Handal shake the tree on this issue?

In any case, it was done off the record, or someone here would have noticed the action.
