Plaintiff,

ORDER RELATING CASES

TERRAFORM GLOBAL, INC., et al.,

Re: Dkt. Nos. 56, 63

Defendants.

United States District Court
Northern District of California

11
Defendants filed an administrative motion to relate five cases that were removed to this

12
13

Court from Santa Clara County Superior Court. Agrawal v. TerraForm Global, Inc. et al., 3:15-

14

cv-6322-EMC, Iron Workers Mid-South Pension Fund v. TerraForm Global, Inc. et al., 3:15-cv-

15

6328-JST, Badri v. TerraForm Global Inc. et al., 5:15-cv-6323-BLF, Fraser v. Wuebbels, et al.,

16

5:15-cv-6326-LHK, and Patel v. TerraForm Global, Inc. et al., 3:16-cv-00073-HSG (collectively

17

“Removed Cases”).1 This case and the Removed Cases arise from the Initial Public Offering of

18

defendant Terraform Global Inc.
Plaintiffs in the Removed Cases oppose relation, arguing that there are pending motions to

19
20

remand filed in each of the Removed Cases that – if granted – will obviate the need to relate.

21

They also argue that relation to me will delay resolution of the motions to remand, the first of

22

which are set to be heard by Judge Chen and Judge Tigar on February 18, 2016 in Agrawal v.

23

TerraForm Global, Inc. et al., 3:15-cv-6322-EMC and Iron Workers Mid-South Pension Fund v.

24

TerraForm Global, Inc. et al., 3:15-cv-6328-JST.

25

I GRANT the administrative motion to relate. The substance of these cases is related and

26

it makes sense for one judge to decide all of the upcoming motions to remand at once. Therefore,

27

28

Pyramid Holdings v. TerraForm Global, Inc. et al., 3:15-cv-05068, which was filed in the first
instance in this Court, has already been related to this case.

IT IS ORDERED THAT:
The already-filed motions to remand in the Removed Cases are set for hearing before me

on February 17, 2016 at 2:00 pm in Courtroom 2, 17th Floor 450 Golden Gate Ave., San
