RELATED CASE ORDER (CIGANEK)
Re: Dkt. No. 75

PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES,
LLC, et al.,
Defendants.
Before the Court is a sua sponte referral from Judge Freeman for determination of whether

19

Ciganek v. Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC, No. 15-CV-3837-BLF (“Ciganek”) should be

20

related to Meza v. Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC, No. 14-3486-LHK (“Meza”). ECF No. 75

21

in the Meza docket. Ciganek and Meza concern substantially the same defendants, claims, and

22

events, and it appears likely that there will be an unduly burdensome duplication of labor and

23

expense or conflicting results if the cases are conducted before different judges. See Civil L. R. 3-

24

12(a). Therefore, the Court ORDERS that Ciganek be related to Meza.

25

Ciganek shall be reassigned to the undersigned judge. All future filings are to bear the

26

initials “LHK.” Unless otherwise ordered, any dates for hearing noticed motions are vacated and

27

must be renoticed by the moving party before the newly assigned judge; any deadlines set by the

Case No. 14-CV-03486-LHK
RELATED CASE ORDER (CIGANEK)

1

ADR Local Rules remain in effect; and any deadlines established in a case management order

2

continue to govern, except dates for appearance in court, which will be rescheduled by the newly

3

assigned judge. A copy of this Order shall be filed in the Ciganek docket.

4

IT IS SO ORDERED.
