On November 13, 2009, Chief Judge Walker (retired) found the above entitled cases related
19
within the meaning of Civ. L.R. 3-12. (hereafter, “Nov. 13 Order,” C-09-0376, Docket Item No.
20
23.) On February 4, 2011, in light of Judge Walker’s retirement, C-08-2348 was reassigned to Judge
21
White. However, the related case of C-09-03796 was not transferred. Based on the Court’s Nov. 13
22
Order finding these cases related, the Court finds good cause to reassign C-09-03796 to Judge White
23
to avoid any unduly burdensome duplication of labor and expense, as well as the risk of inconsistent
24
judgments.
