ORDER INCORPORATING DOCKET IN
RELATED CASE AND ADMINISTRATIVELY
CLOSING THE SAME

12
13

On March 12, 2015, the Court issued an Order to Show Cause why Case No. 14-cv-2966

14

should not be administratively terminated. (Dkt. No. 87.) As the Court noted, Lead Case No. 14-

15

cv-2717 and Related Case No. 14-cv-2966 refer to the same underlying action, which has two case

16

numbers—with separate sets of filings—in light of the unique procedural history of the case and its

17

piecemeal transfer to this Court. (See Dkt. No. 55 at 1-2.) Only plaintiff responded to the order to

18

show cause by the response deadline, indicating no objection “in principle” to the administrative

19

closure of Case No. 14-cv-2966, but seeking to ensure the Lead Case docket incorporates the

20

docket entries and filings from the closed docket. (Dkt. No. 95.) Therefore, the Court hereby

21

ORDERS: (1) that the docket entries and filings in Case No. 14-cv-2966 be deemed incorporated

22

into Lead Case No. 14-cv-2717; and (2) that the Clerk administratively close the docket in Case

23

No. 14-cv-2966, but preserve those filings, as is done in the normal course. Future filings should

24

be made only on the Lead Case docket, not on the administratively closed docket.

25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
