LB; and 3:11-cv-6368-JCS, by and through its counsel of record, Michael L. Fox, Esq. of
10

Sedgwick LLP, hereby stipulate as follows:
The six actions filed by Plaintiffs William Ambrosio, et al., Michael Alvarado, et al.,
12
William Jamison, et al., Wood River Capital Resources, LLC, et al., Henry James Anderson, et
13
al., and Roseville Capital Resources, LLC, et al. (collectively “the Related Cases”) have been
14
deemed related and are pending before the Honorable Richard Seeborg because all six concern
15
substantially the same parties, events and request for relief, so assignment to separate judges
16
would have involved unnecessary duplication of labor, cost and conflicting results. (ECF No. 22
17
in Case No. 3:11-cv-04956-RS.)
18
Similarly, the two actions filed by Plaintiffs Dean G. Nowacki, et al. and Oakdale Heights
19
Redding 1, LLC, et al. (collectively “the New Cases”) were removed to the Northern District of
20
California on December 15, 2011. Both of the New Cases concern substantially the same parties,
21
events and request for relief as each of the other New Cases and the Related Cases. Therefore,
22
assignment to separate judges would involve unnecessary duplication of labor, cost and
23
conflicting results.
24
Therefore, the parties, by and through their counsel of record, stipulate that the New
25
Cases should be related to each other and to the Related Cases, with the earliest filed case,
26
pursuant to Civil L.R. 3-12.

SF/2635722v1
1
Brit has already filed Motions to Dismiss pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure
2
12(b)(6) and Motions to Strike pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(f) in the Related
3
Cases. The Court has already set the following briefing schedule for those motions: (1) the
4
hearing on the Motions to Dismiss and the Motions to Strike filed in the six related cases is
5
scheduled for February 2, 2012, at 1:30 p.m.; (2) Plaintiffs’ opposition papers to Brit’s motions
6
will be due January 3, 2012; and (3) and Brit’s reply papers will be due January 17, 2012. (ECF
7
No. 22 in Case No. 3:11-cv-04956-RS.)
8
9
Brit anticipates filing similar Motions to Dismiss and/or Motions to Strike in the New
Cases. Plaintiffs and Brit desire to establish a single hearing date relating to Defendants’
10
Motions to Dismiss and Motions to Strike filed in the New Cases and the Related Cases, to allow
11
for the filing of coordinated and/or joint opposition papers by Plaintiffs, to the extent possible, in
12
order to eliminate unnecessary duplication of labor and cost. If Brit files its motions on or before
13
December 20, 2011, the New Cases can adopt the same briefing schedule and hearing date as
14
already set in the Related Cases (ECF No. 22 in Case No. 3:11-cv-04956-RS), without any
15
modification.
16
Therefore, the parties, by and through their counsel of record, further stipulate, subject to
17
the Court’s approval, that (1) Brit shall file its Motions to Dismiss and/or Motions to Strike in the
18
New Cases no later than December 20, 2011; (2) the hearing for the Motions to Dismiss and the
19
Motions to Strike filed in all eight cases will be scheduled for February 2, 2012, at 1:30 p.m.; (3)
20
Plaintiffs’ opposition papers to Brit’s motions will be due January 3, 2012; and (4); and Brit’s
21
reply papers will be due January 17, 2012.
