CASE NO. 8:12CV416

Plaintiff,
vs.

ORDER

UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY,
a Utah corporation,
Defendant.

This matter is before the Court on the Notice of Related Case (Filing No. 42) filed
by Defendant Union Pacific Railroad Company (“UP”). The above captioned case is
currently assigned to U.S. District Judge Bataillon.

UP requests that the case be

reassigned to the undersigned judge pursuant to NEGenR 1.4(a)(4)(B) because it is
“related”1 to United States of America et al. v. Union Pacific Railroad Co. et al., Case
No. 8:11CV195-LSC/FG3. Plaintiff Asarco LLC opposes the reassignment of the above
captioned case. (See Filing No. 43.) Having reviewed the matter, this Court will deny
UP’s request for reassignment.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that the Notice of Related Case (Filing No. 42) filed by
Defendant Union Pacific Railroad Company is denied.
Dated this 19th day of December, 2012.
