Case No. 17-cv-03389-BLF
v.
ADIL HIRAMANEK,
Respondent.
ORDER DENYING RESPONDENT'S
ADMINISTRATIVE MOTION TO
ORDER PETITIONER TO FILE
DISCLOSURE PURSUANT TO CIVIL
LOCAL RULE 3-15
[Re: ECF 13]
10
United States District Court
Northern District of California
11
Presently before the Court is Respondent Adil Hiramanek’s expedited administrative
12
motion to order petitioner to file a disclosure of non-party interested entities or persons pursuant to
13
Civil Local Rule 3-15. Mot., ECF 13. Respondent seeks such a disclosure “to sort out conflicts of
14
interest.” Id. The Government opposes Mr. Hiramanek’s motion. ECF 15.
15
Under Civil Local Rule 3-15, “each party to any civil proceeding must file with the Clerk a
16
‘Certification of Interested Entities or Persons’” upon their first appearance in an action. Civ. L.R.
17
3-15(a). The rule specifically excludes “governmental entities or its agencies” from parties
18
obliged to disclose a certification of interests. Id. Although Mr. Hiramanek alleges a possibility
19
of bias in favor of the Government, the Court finds such suggestions unsupported. And, Mr.
20
Hiramanek cites no authority in support of his contention that the Government should be required
21
to file such a certification given the circumstances. To the extent that Mr. Hiramanek is seeking
22
disqualification of Magistrate Judge Cousins, that issue is moot given the fact that this case has
23
been reassigned to the undersigned. Accordingly, the Court DENIES Respondent’s motion.
24
IT IS SO ORDERED.
