On August 31, 2011, plaintiff Wailea Partners, LP filed an administrative motion to consider
20
whether Wailea Partners, LP v. HSBC Bank USA, N.A., C 11-03544 SC, should be related to Tuttle,
21
et al. v. Sky Bell Asset Management, LLC, et al., C 10-03588 WHA. Having viewed the two case
22
23
files, the undersigned judge finds that these two actions are not related. The Tuttle action concerns a
24
class of investors challenging numerous financial transactions, auditors, partnerships, and managers,
25
only one of which is in the HSBC action. By contrast, HSBC involves Wailea’s attempt to rescind a
26
single investment contract. There are substantial differences between the claims in the two actions
27
that will result in different discovery, procedural, factual and legal issues. Thus, relating the cases
28
would not likely promote judicial efficiency or consistency.
