JON GRAY,
Plaintiff,

ORDER RELATING CASES

v.
CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN
FRANCISCO, et al.
Defendant.
/

Magistrate Judge Nathanael Cousins referred Jon Gray v. San Francisco Deputy Sheriff’s

22

Association, No. 13-cv-04340, to this Court to determine whether it is related to the present

23

action. Under Civil Local Rule 3–12, actions are related when two requirements are met: (1) the

24

actions concern substantially the same parties, property, transaction, or event, and (2) it appears

25

likely that there will be an unduly burdensome duplication of labor and expense or conflicting

26

results if the cases are conducted before different judges.

27
28

Both cases were filed by the same plaintiff and concern the same set of transactions and
events. Thus, Jon Gray v. San Francisco Deputy Sheriff’s Association is related to the present

1

action and San Francisco Deputy Sheriff’s Association shall be immediately assigned to the

2

undersigned judge for all purposes.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
