MARSHALL DIVISION

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO. LTD, §

§ Case No. 2:16-CV-00052-JRG-RSP v. § Case No. 2:16-CV-00055-JRG-RSP

§ Case No. 2:16-CV-00056-JRG-RSP T-MOBILE US, INC., T-MOBILE U.S.A., Case No. 2:16-CV-00057-JRG-RSP

§

INC., §

ORDER

Huawei Technologies Co. LTD (“Huawei”) objects to Judge Payne’s recommendation that Huawei’s motion for summary judgment on the affirmative defenses and counterclaims filed by T-Mobile US, Inc., and T-Mobile U.S.A. Inc. (collectively, “T-Mobile”) relating to Huawei’s commitments to the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (“ETSI”) be denied.1 Having reviewed the objections, and having considered the Report and Recommendation de novo, the Court finds no reason to reject or modify the recommended disposition. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3); 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C).

Accordingly, It is ORDERED: (1) Huawei’s objections are OVERRULED. (2) Judge Payne’s Report and Recommendation is ADOPTED. (3) Huawei’s motions for summary judgment are DENIED.2
