Because the complaint in case number 11-cv-01013-SBA is identical to the one pending in the above-captioned case, the Court finds that this case should be related to and consolidated with the above-captioned case. Accordingly, the two cases will proceed as one action in case number 10-cv-05797-LHK. Case number 10-cv-05797-LHK is already related to another case pending before this Court, number 10cv-02507-LHK, titled Belinda K. and J. H. v. Baldovinos, et al. Therefore, when case number 11cv-01013-SBA is consolidated with case number 10-cv-05797-LHK, the consolidated matters will be related to case number 10-cv-02507-LHK.
