OPINION AND ORDER
WILLIAM K. SESSIONS III, District Judge.
This case revolves around the State of Vermont’s enforcement efforts against Plaintiff MPHJ Technology Investments, LLC (“MPHJ”) for alleged patent trolling. The State claims that MPHJ, through shell subsidiaries, sent false and misleading letters to various Vermont entities alleging patent infringement and demanding the purchase of licenses. In 2013, the State sued MPHJ in state court under the Vermont Consumer Protection Act, 9 V.S.A. §§ 2451 et seq. (“VCPA”). That case (the “State Action”) is currently pending.1
