ADMINISTRATIVE MOTION TO CONSIDER WHETHER CASES SHOULD BE RELATED
CASE NO. 4:19-cv-00872-HSG

1

Pursuant to Civil L.R. 3-12, Sierra Club and Southern Border Communities Coalition

2

respectfully provide the Court with notice of the following case in the Northern District of

3

California: Sierra Club and Southern Border Communities Coalition v. Trump, et al., No. 4:19-cv-

4

00892-KAW (filed Feb. 19, 2019) and request that the Court consider whether the two cases should

5

be related.

6

“An action is related to another when: (1) The actions concern substantially the same parties,

7

property, transaction, or event; and (2) it appears likely that there will be an unduly burdensome

8

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

9

Judges.” N.D. Cal. Civ. L.R. 3-12(a). Under this standard, it appears that the cases are related. Sierra

10

Club and the instant case both entail constitutional and statutory claims seeking to enjoin President

11

Trump’s declaration of a national emergency to divert funds appropriated for other purposes to the

12

construction of a wall at the U.S.-Mexico border and the actions of Executive Branch officials to

13

implement that declaration. Sierra Club and the instant case have the following defendants in

14

common: President Trump, Acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan, Secretary of Homeland

15

Security Kirstjen Nielsen, and Secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin.

Dated: February 26, 2019
