Plaintiff Theresa Lynne Murphy, proceeding pro se, filed this civil complaint concerning
14
certain real property located at 11 High Street, No. 201, San Francisco, California on May 2,
15
2014. (Dkt. No. 1.) Plaintiff previously filed three other civil suits in this district against many
16
of the same defendants concerning the same real property, see Murphy v. Bank of New York
17
Mellon, Nos. 13-cv-2424 JST, 13-cv-2752 JST, 13-cv-2820 JST. Judge Tigar related case
18
numbers 13-cv-2424 and 13-cv-2752 and the cases were dismissed for lack of subject matter
19
jurisdiction. Shortly thereafter, Plaintiff filed a new case, No. 13-cv-2820, which was related to
20
the prior actions. Judge Tigar dismissed that action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction on
21
October 30, 2013. See No. 13-cv-2820, Dkt. No. 46. Plaintiff appealed that dismissal to the
22
Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals (Dkt. No. 47), but subsequently moved to voluntarily dismiss her
23
appeal. See Murphy v. The Bank of New York Mellon, No. 13-17351, Dkt. No. 5 (9th Cir.). The
24
same day Plaintiff moved to dismiss her appeal, she filed a new civil action here which was
25
assigned to the undersigned, see Murphy v. Bank of New York Mellon, No. 14-cv-2030 JSC. The
26
new action concerns the same real property subject to the prior actions and involves many of the
27
same parties.
28
In light of the similarities between these cases, and given that Judge Tigar has related
1
Plaintiff’s prior actions regarding the same real property, the undersigned respectfully refers the
2
above-captioned action to Judge Tigar pursuant to Civil L.R. 3-12(c) to consider whether this
3
case is related to the 13-2424, 13-2752 and 13-2820 actions.
