Opinion
OPINION AND ORDER
This cause came on for consideration on August 8, 1968, pursuant to Panel order on the Motion of TECHNO-GRAPH, INC. to transfer all pending and related actions listed in the appended Schedule A
It appears that on the 8th day of August, 1968, the Honorable Peirson M. Hall of the Central District of California, before whom all cases listed in the schedule as pending in the Central District of California, entered an order dismissing all such pending cases except Nos. 66-1991, Cohu Electronics, Inc. and No. 62-1656 — Hoffman Electronics Corp., and that these latter cases are now being actively litigated.
From argument of counsel and a consideration of all of the submitted facts and circumstances, the Panel is of the opinion that no useful purpose contemplated by Section 1407 would be served by the transfer of any of the pending cases to any other district.
It is therefore ordered that the motion to transfer the cases to the Northern District of Illinois be denied.
It is further ordered that a copy of this Order be filed with the Clerks of the district courts in which all such cases are now pending.
