Defendants-Appellees. 
Filed May 6, 2010
Before: Mary M. Schroeder, Dorothy W. Nelson and
Stephen Reinhardt, Circuit Judges.
ORDER
Appellants’ Petition for Rehearing is GRANTED. The

-- 1 of 4 --

in Pasadena, California. The date and time of oral argument
will be set soon, and counsel should inform this court of any
potential conflicts immediately.
The parties are ordered to submit supplemental briefs
addressing the following questions:
1. Is “control” an element of this court’s agency test
for personal jurisdiction? If so, how much control is
required? If our precedent is unclear, how much con-
trol should be required?
2. If the panel concludes that an agency relationship
exists, would an exercise of general jurisdiction over
defendants be reasonable in this case?
These supplemental briefs shall be no longer than ten pages
or 2800 words, and shall be submitted no later than 14 days
after the entry of this order. Parties who are registered for
Appellate ECF must file the supplemental brief electronically.
Parties who are not registered Appellate ECF filers must file
the original supplemental brief plus seven paper copies.
The Petition for Rehearing En Banc is denied as moot with-
out prejudice to filing a new petition for rehearing en banc.
