Presently before the Court is Defendants' Motion to relate this case with Rudolph v. UTStarcom, et al., No. C 07-4578 SI.1 The Court previously denied Defendants' motion to relate these two cases under Civil Local Rules 3-12 and 7-11.2 Defendants now contend that the Fourth Amended Complaint contains allegations of options backdating, which overlap with the options backdating claims in the Rudolph action. Upon review, the Court finds that these cases are not related within the meaning of Local Rules 3-12 and 7-11. In addition, this case and the Rudolph action are at differing procedural stages, such that relation of these cases is not proper. Accordingly, the Court DENIES Defendants' Motion to Relate Cases.
