21
On September 6, 2011, the Executive Committee of the Northern District of
22
California exercised its authority under General Order 44 to modify the court’s assignment
23
plan. See Order of the Executive Committee, In the Matter of Civil Case Assignments to
24
the San Jose Division During the Pendency of a Judicial Vacancy (Sep. 6, 2011) available
25
at http://www.cand.uscourts.gov/filelibrary/815/OrderoftheEC.pdf. To prevent an
26
inequitable allocation of civil cases among court divisions, the Executive Committee
27
ordered that the pending civil cases assigned to District Judge Jeremy Fogel be randomly
28
reassigned on a district-wide basis to other active and senior district judges. See id.

1

Pursuant to the special assignment procedure ordered by the Executive Committee, the

2

above-titled case was properly reassigned to the undersigned.

Accordingly, Space Systems/Loral, Inc.’s Motion is hereby DENIED.
