1

Plaintiffs have filed an Administrative Motion pursuant to Civil L.R. 3-12 to relate the

2

above-captioned case to Nationwide Biweekly Administration, Inc. v. Jan Lynn Owen, in her official

3

capacity as Commissioner of the Department of Business Oversight for the State of California,

4

Case No. 14-cv-05166-EJD. This Court, having considered Plaintiffs’ Motion as well as the

5

concurrently filed stipulation, finds that the two cases concern substantially the same parties,

6

transactions and events, and that it appears that litigation of the cases before different judges would

7

likely result in unduly burdensome duplication of labor and expenses or potentially conflicting

8

results. Therefore, the Plaintiffs’ Administrative Motion to Relate Cases Pursuant to Civil L.R. 3-

9

12 is hereby GRANTED. Accordingly, Nationwide Biweekly Administration, Inc. v. Jan Lynn

10

Owen, in her official capacity as Commissioner of the Department of Business Oversight for the

11

State of California, Case No. 14-cv-05166-EJD shall be transferred to Judge Lucy H. Koh.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
