ORDER REFERRING CASE TO JUDGE
SEEBORG FOR CONSIDERATION OF
RELATED CASE STATUS

17

Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 3-12(c), the undersigned refers the above-entitled action to

18

Judge Richard Seeborg for a determination as to whether this case is related to In re: Wachovia

19

Corp. “Pick-A-Payment” Mortgage Marketing and Sales Practices Litig., Case No. 3:09-md-

20

02015-RS, a case pending before Judge Seeborg. The undersigned notes that the parties in the

21

above-entitled case are contesting whether there is federal subject-matter jurisdiction. ECF Nos. 1,

22

16. One of the principal disputes is whether Plaintiff’s contention that Defendants violated their

23

obligations under the Wachovia settlement confers federal subject-matter jurisdiction. Compare

24

ECF No. 1 at 3-6 (contending that the dispute regarding the settlement agreement confers

25

jurisdiction) with ECF No. 16 at 10 (contending the opposite).

26

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: November 26, 2013
