ORDER REGARDING RELATED
CASES

JUDGE PHILLIP GUTIERREZ, et al.,
Defendants.

22

Mr. Kinney objects to the court’s prior order relating case number 16-cv-02018-LB to cases

23

that the court previously decided. (See ECF No. 20.) The court deemed this case related to case

24

number 16-cv-01260-LB, and it also is related to case number 14-cv-02187-LB. The court

25

transferred both cases to the Central District of California. Mr. Kinney points out that there is an

26

earlier-numbered case: case number 13-cv-01396-MMC. That case primarily involved Mr.

27

Kinney’s efforts to enjoin the State Bar from conducting proceedings against him. By contrast, his

28

latest lawsuits focus on state-court lawsuits he lost. Considering the local rules, and how recently
ORDER (Nos. 16-cv-02018-LB and 16-cv-02278-LB)

1

the undersigned addressed similar issues, the court does not reconsider its related case order. The

2

court appreciates Mr. Kinney’s point but the interests of judicial economy that underlie the

3

related-case rule militate in favor of the court’s decision. The same analysis applies to the court’s

4

order relating case number 16-cv-02778-HSG.

5

IT IS SO ORDERED.
