The OIG Defendants1 in Blue v. California Office of the Inspector General, Case

13

No. 2:15-cv-02656-KJM-CKD, filed a notice of related case asking this Court to relate

14

Blue to this action. Plaintiffs support relation, and the State Defendants2 oppose it.

15

The related case rule allows for relation only of cases “filed in or removed to this

16

district.” Civ. L.R. 3-12(b). Blue is pending in the Eastern District of California and

17

therefore not subject to relation to this Court. Accordingly, the request to relate cases is

18

DENIED.
