ORDER OF NON-RELATED CASES

v.

Defendant.

22

The Court has received the Notice filed on November 14, 2018 that two cases are

23

“possibly related” pursuant to Local Rule 123. (ECF No. 18.) The Court has determined that the

24

cases have different plaintiffs, are at very different stages of the litigation, and that relation is not

25

“likely to effect a substantial savings of judicial effort.” The Court finds that the above-captioned

26

cases are not “related” within the meaning of Local Rule 123. The Court declines to relate the

27

above-captioned cases pursuant to Local Rule 123(c).
