OMNIBUS TRANSFER ORDER

15
16

Plaintiff ME2Productions, Inc., through attorney Charles Rainey, Esq., has filed 25

17

copyright-infringement lawsuits in this district against various named and doe defendants,

18

alleging infringement of its copyright to a motion picture entitled Mechanic:

19

Resurrection. The allegations in each of these cases are nearly identical, save for the

20

different IP addresses through which ME2 claims that the defendants used to access the

21

film.

22

Having reviewed these cases, the judges of this district have concluded that

23

judicial economy will be served by transferring all of these ME2 Mechanic: Resurrection

24

cases to a single District Court Judge and Magistrate Judge. Accordingly, THE

25

UNDERSIGNED JUDGES—exercising their discretion under local rule 42-1(a) and the

26

court’s inherent power to control the management of the docket and in order to foster

27

judicial economy—HEREBY ORDER each of these cases to be TRANSFERRED to

28

Judge James C. Mahan (who was assigned the earliest open case, 2:16-cv-02384-JCM-

1

PAL) and Magistrate Judge Nancy Koppe for all further proceedings:
