MINUTE ORDER REGARDING
NOTICE OF PENDENCY OF OTHER
ACTION OR PROCEEDING
Re: ECF No. 17
United States District Court
Northern District of California
11
Plaintiff Cheng has filed a “Notice of Pendency of Other Action or Proceeding” pursuant
12
13
to Civil Local Rule 3-13. ECF No. 17. Civil Local Rule 3-13 applies when the other case is
14
pending “in any other federal or state court” (emphasis added). When, as here, the purportedly
15
related case is pending before another judge of this court, the applicable rule is Civil Local Rule 3-
16
12. It appears that Plaintiff already filed an Administrative Motion to Consider Whether Cases
17
Should be Related pursuant to Civil L.R. 3-12, and the judge assigned to the earlier-filed case has
18
already determined that the cases are not related.1 See Clerk’s Notice, Stowers v. WinCo Foods,
19
L.L.C., No. 13-cv-02631-TEH (N.D. Cal. Feb. 20, 2014); see also ECF No. 9 in this action.
20
Therefore, Defendants need not file any opposition pursuant to Civil Local Rule 3-13(c), since
21
there is no action the undersigned could take to reassign or transfer this action.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
