Before the Court is an administrative motion to consider whether Cunha v. Alcon

14

Laboratories, Inc. et al., numbered 4:15-cv-01413-KAW and filed in this District, is related to the

15

above-captioned matter. The time to file an opposition has passed.

16

The Court finds that the actions “concern substantially the same parties, property,

17

transaction, or event,” and that “[i]t appears likely that there will be an unduly burdensome

18

duplication of labor and expense or conflicting results if the cases are conducted before different

19

Judges.” Civ. L.R. 3-12(a). Accordingly, the Court determines that 4:15-cv-01413-KAW is

20

related to 3:15-cv-00941-HSG and reassigns it to the undersigned for all future proceedings.

21

The parties are instructed that any future filings in the reassigned case are to bear the

22

initials of the undersigned immediately after the case number. The case management conference

23

in the reassigned case will be rescheduled by the Court. The parties shall adjust the dates for the

24

conference, disclosures and report required by Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 16 and 26

25

accordingly.
