TRANSFER ORDER
On May 19, 2014, Case No. 2:14-cv-00786-GMN-PAL was filed in this Court asserting

18

alleged violations of Nevada’s Minimum Wage Amendment against Defendant Briad Restaurant

19

Group, LLC. On July 27, 2015, the Court determined that certain Plaintiffs entered into a valid

20

Arbitration Agreement with Defendant which encompassed Plaintiffs’ claims under the

21

Minimum Wage Amendment, dismissed these “Arbitration Plaintiffs,” and ordered them to

22

arbitrate their claims against Defendant in accordance with their respective versions of the

23

Arbitration Agreement. Subsequently, the Arbitration Plaintiffs filed Case No. 2:16-cv-02217-

24

JAD-CWH, seeking a declaratory judgment that certain clauses of the Arbitration Agreements

25

prohibiting class arbitration are invalid.

4

control the management of the docket and in order to foster judicial economy,

5

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk of Court shall REASSIGN Case No.: 2:16-

cv-02217-JAD-CWH to District Judge Gloria M. Navarro and Magistrate Peggy A. Leen for all

further proceedings. All further documents filed in this case shall bear the case number 2:16-cv-
