On June 3, 2013, Plaintiff Neil B. Goldberg, proceeding pro se, filed a document

20

entitled “Complaint to Vacate Judgment and for Damages FRCP, Rule 60(d)(1)” (Dkt. No. 1)

21

under the caption for Case No. 05-cv-3534 RMW. This document was opened as a new civil

22

action under the above titled caption.

23

Northern District of California Local Rule 3-12(c) provides: “Whenever a Judge

24

believes that a case pending before that Judge is related to another case, the Judge may refer

25

the case to the Judge assigned to the earliest- filed case with a request that the Judge assigned

26

to the earliest-filed case consider whether the cases are related.”

Plaintiff appears to be seeking to set aside the Judgment entered in Case No. 05-cv3534 RMW on April 6, 2011 pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b). (No. 05-cv-

1

3534 RMW, Dkt. No. 215.) The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals recently dismissed Plaintiff’s

2

appeal of the challenged Judgment for failure to prosecute. (No. 05-cv-3534 RMW, Dkt. No.

3

239.)

Accordingly, pursuant to Local Rule 3-12(c), this action is referred to the Honorable

5

Ronald M. Whyte for a determination of whether this action is related to Goldberg v.

6

Cameron, No. 05-cv-3534 RMW.
