ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO
RE-FILE MOTION TO RELATE CASES
IN EARLIEST-FILED CASE

17

This matter was reassigned to the undersigned Judge on March 15, 2011. On April 1, 2011,

18

Plaintiff filed a Notice of Related Cases in the above-captioned matter, stating that she believes this

19

case is related to several earlier-filed cases, including related cases 10-CV-00751-RS and 10-CV-

20

04359-RS. Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 3-12, “[w]henever a party knows or learns that an action,

21

filed in or removed to this district is (or the party believes that the action may be) related to an

22

action which is or was pending in this District as defined in Civil L.R. 3-12(a), the party must

23

promptly file in the earliest-filed case an Administrative Motion to Consider Whether Cases

24

Should be Related, pursuant to Civil L.R. 7-11.” Accordingly, Plaintiff is hereby ordered to

25

withdraw the Notice filed in the above-captioned matter (which was docketed as a pending Motion

26

and improperly set for hearing), and to re-file an Administrative Motion to Relate in compliance

27

with Civil Local Rules 3-12 and 7-11 in the earliest-filed related case (which appears to be 10-CV-

28

00751).
