On July 18, 2016, Maher Suarez, a state inmate housed at California State Prison—Solano,
20
filed an administrative motion to relate his individual civil-rights case, captioned Suarez v. Beard,
21
et al., No. 15-5756 HSG (N.D. Cal.) (Suarez), and this case (Ashker). On July 22, 2016, the
22
Suarez Defendants opposed Suarez’s motion. Having considered the parties’ submissions and the
23
rules that govern administrative motions to relate cases, the Court finds that Suarez and Ashker are
24
not related.
25
Suarez has failed to show that the cases “concern substantially the same parties, property,
26
transaction or event,” and that “[i]t appears likely that there will be an unduly burdensome
27
duplication of labor and expense or conflicting results if the cases are conducted before different
28

1

Judges.” N.D. Civil L.R. 3-12(a). Accordingly, Suarez’s motion to relate his individual case and

2

Ashker is DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
