`
`Order Adopting Magistrate Judge’s Report And Recommendations
`This order concerns two motions referred to United States Magistrate
`Judge Jonathan Goodman for a report and recommendations. This Court
`referred Defendant Hon Hai Industry Co., Ltd.’s motion for exceptional case
`status (ECF No. 163) to Judge Goodman on April 10, 2023. (ECF No. 165.)
`Judge Goodman issued a report, recommending that the Court deny the
`motion. (Report of Magistrate, ECF No. 236.) Defendant Hon Hai Industry Co.,
`Ltd. has not filed objections to the report, and the time to do so has passed.
`This Court also referred Defendants HMD America, Inc., HMD Global Oy,
`Best Buy Co., Inc., Best Buy Stores L.P., Target Corp., and Walmart Inc.’s
`motion to sever and stay (ECF No. 232) to Judge Goodman on November 8,
`2023. (ECF No. 245.) Judge Goodman issued a report, recommending that the
`Court deny the motion. (Report of Magistrate, ECF No. 250.) The Defendants
`have not filed objections, and the time to do so has passed.
`The Court has considered Judge Goodman’s reports on these motions,
`the record, and the relevant legal authorities. The Court finds Judge
`Goodman’s reports and recommendation cogent and compelling. The Court
`affirms and adopts Judge Goodman’s reports and recommendation (ECF Nos.
`236, 250). The Court denies the motion for exceptional case status (ECF No.
`163) and motion to sever and stay (ECF No. 250).
`
`Done and ordered in Miami, Florida, on December 5, 2023.
