DETERMINATION THAT ACTIONS ARE NOT

JOSE AMAYA, et al.,

Northern District of California

United States District Court

Defendants.
This Court has been asked to consider whether this action pending before Judge Maxine

14

Chesney should be related to an earlier-filed action assigned the undersigned. (Order of Referral

15

[Dkt. No. 6 in Case No. 13-00865; Dkt. No. 14 in Case No. 12-05028].) As the Order of Referral

16

states, Case No. 12-05028 was assigned to Judge Gonzalez Rogers. However, in that case, the

17

Court remanded the action based on a lack of subject matter jurisdiction and the case was closed.

18

While the Court briefly presided over that action months ago, it does not believe that there will be

19

an undue burden or duplication of labor or expense such that the matters should be related. Civ.

20

L.R. 3-12(a). For these reasons, the Court DECLINES reassignment of the above-referenced action

21

based on this Court’s prior, now-closed case.

22

IT IS SO ORDERED.
