No. C 12-3396 MEJ

13

Pending before the Court is Plaintiff National Railroad Passenger Corporation’s Motion to

14 Relate Cases, in which Plaintiffs asks the Court to relate this case to Blanche Crider v. Pinon
15 Trucking, et al., Case No. C12-3748 SI, and assign it to the undersigned as the judge who was
16 assigned the first-filed case. Dkt. No. 23. However, as Plaintiff Blanche Crider has filed a
17 declination to proceed before a magistrate judge in C12-3748, and both cases would therefore have to
18 be reassigned to a district judge if related, the Court finds it prudent to have this case reassigned to a
19 district court judge so that Plaintiff’s motion can be decided by the judge who will preside over the
20 case(s). Accordingly, the Court ORDERS the Clerk of Court to reassign this case to a district judge.
21

IT IS SO ORDERED.
