The Court finds that the actions “concern substantially the same parties, property,
transaction, or event,” and that “[i]t appears likely that there will be an unduly burdensome

21
duplication of labor and expense or conflicting results if the cases are conducted before different
22

Judges.” Civ. L.R. 3-12(a). Accordingly, the Court determines that the above-listed cases are

related to 3:15-cv-00941-HSG and reassigns them to the undersigned for all future proceedings.
The parties are instructed that any future filings in the reassigned cases are to bear the
initials of the undersigned immediately after the case number. The case management conferences
in the reassigned case will be rescheduled by the Court. The parties shall adjust the dates for the
