MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
Glenayre Electronics, Inc. (Glenayre) has moved to intervene and to enjoin plaintiffs suit against customers for their use of Glenayre equipment. We grant both motions and enter and continue its petition for costs.
The motion to intervene is largely for the purpose of having standing to seek injunctive relief, and plaintiff does not, apparently, have any objection to that. The motion to enjoin arises from the order Judge Leinenweber entered on May 31, 2002, in case No. 02 C 256. We agree with Glenayre that Judge Leinenweber ruled that no customer suits should go forward until the infringement issues before him had been determined. To the extent plaintiff has claims of infringement for the use of equipment or components not supplied by Glenayre, he can proceed.
