Online retailer Newegg Inc. and general counsel Lee Cheng are going to war against U.S. District Judge Rodney Gilstrap of the Eastern District of Texas.

Backed by The Webb Law Firm, Durie Tangri and Weil, Gotshal & Manges, Newegg on Monday told the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit on Monday that Gilstrap is dragging his feet on posttrial motions in a patent case tried in November 2013. The company asked the appellate court to order the judge to enter judgment.
