Miralle et al v. The City of Oakland et al

Filing 141

Judicial Referral for Purpose of Determining Relationship of Cases re 24-8296. Signed by Judge Vince Chhabria on 11/22/2024. (bxs, COURT STAFF) (Filed on 11/22/2024)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

OAKLAND HOMELESS UNION, et al.,

Case No. 24-cv-08296-VC

Plaintiffs,
REFERRAL FOR PURPOSE OF
DETERMINING RELATIONSHIP

v.
CITY OF OAKLAND, et al.,
Defendants.

Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 3-12(c), the above-entitled case is hereby REFERRED to
the Honorable Haywood S. Gilliam, Jr. for consideration of whether the case is related to See
Miralle v. City of Oakland, 18-6823.
Several pro se plaintiffs have filed an application for a temporary restraining order
relating to the alleged sweep of a homeless encampment in Oakland that is scheduled to take
place today. The plaintiffs filed the application at approximately 3pm yesterday, but the clerk’s
office did not provide the papers to the undersigned judge until late this morning. The plaintiffs
allege that the sweep violates a settlement agreement in a case before Judge Gilliam. See Miralle
v. City of Oakland, 18-6823. That settlement agreement designates Judge Spero as the
“enforcement judge.” Judge Gilliam and Judge Spero retain jurisdiction over that case. Because
the plaintiffs should have sought relief in the case where the settlement agreement was entered,
the case is referred to Judge Gilliam to determine whether the cases are related.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: November 22, 2024
