Case No.: 13-CV-0475-LHK
ORDER DENYING MOTION TO
RELATE CASES

20
Defendants have filed a motion requesting that the Court relate the instant case to Borgman
21
v. Insphere Insurance Solutions, Inc., Case No. 5:11-CV-05638-CRB (“Borgman I”). See ECF No.
22
13-475. Borgman I was filed earlier than the instant case. Moreover, there appears to be another
23
earlier-filed, potentially related matter styled Borgman v. Inspehere Insurance Solutions, Inc., Case
24
No. 12-CV-06352-EJD (“Borgman II”). Local 3-12(b) states that a motion to relate must be filed
25
“in the earliest-filed case.” Thus, Defendants should have filed their motion to relate in Borgman I
26
or Borgman II. Accordingly, Defendants’ motion is DENIED.
