Case No. 8:10-cv-01256-GW (JCGx)
NOTICE OF RELATED CASES

Honorable George H. Wu

1
2

Pursuant to Local Rules 83-1.3.1 and 83-1.3.3, Defendant Specific Media, Inc.
(“Specific Media”) hereby submits this Notice of Related Cases.

3

The cases Specific Media asserts as related are La Court, et al. v. Specific

4

Media, Inc., Case No. 8:10-cv-01256-GW (JCGx) and Kaufman v. SpecificMedia, Inc.,

5

Case No. 8:10-cv-01891-JVS (RNBx). The La Court action is currently pending

6

before this Court, while the Kaufman action is currently pending before the Honorable

7

James V. Selna.

8

The La Court action is related to the Kaufman action because both cases call for

9

a determination of the same or substantially related or similar questions of law and

10

fact. L.R. 83-1.3.1(b). Both lawsuits are putative class actions in which plaintiffs

11

allege substantially identical claims against Specific Media based on Specific Media’s

12

alleged act of setting “Flash cookies” on plaintiffs’ computers.

13

For the reasons stated above, Specific Media requests that this Court deem

14

Kaufman v. SpecificMedia, Inc., Case No. 8:10-cv-01891-JVS (RNBx) related to La

15

Court, et al. v. Specific Media, Inc., Case No. 8:10-cv-01256-GW (JCGx), and that the

16

Honorable George H. Wu preside over both actions.
