Case No.: 12-cv-01172-WHO
ORDER REGARDING DKT. NO. 213
Plaintiffs,
v.
WATTS WATER TECHNOLOGIES, INC., et
al.,
Defendants.
The parties have filed a Joint Submission to the undersigned despite the fact that this case has
15
been reassigned to the Honorable William H. Orrick. Defendants contend that Plaintiffs “are still
16
trying to offer [particular] emails in an effort to establish an attorney-client relationship” between
17
Plaintiff Stetson and attorneys representing her insurer (the Stutman Firm). Defendants argue that
18
Plaintiffs are effectively seeking reconsideration of a prior order issued by this Court.
19
Plaintiffs respond that they have not filed, do not presently seek to file, and have not sought
20
leave to file a motion for reconsideration. Rather, Defendants are attempting to use Civ. L.R. 7-9
21
(Leave of Court Requirement for Motion for Reconsideration) against Plaintiffs when there is no ripe
22
dispute. The Court agrees with Plaintiffs. It is unclear to the Court what relief Defendants seek to
23
gain by initiating this Joint Submission. As such, there is no discernible request upon which to grant
24
or deny relief.
25
Further, the Court instructs the parties to file all future requests and motions in this action to
26
the judge assigned to this action, and not the undersigned. The reassignment to Judge Orrick was “for
27
all further proceedings.” (Judge Orrick’s Reassignment Order and Order Requiring Submission of
28
1
Case Management Statement, filed June 27, 2013.) The undersigned no longer retains authority or
2
oversight of this matter.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
