Pursuant to LCR 3(g)(1), the State of Washington hereby submits this notice of a
11
pending, related case in the Western District of Washington. The related case is Padilla et al. v.
12
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement et al., 2:18-cv-00928, assigned to Presiding Judge
13
Marsha J. Pechman. That case challenges the same family separation policy and course of conduct
14
that forms the gravamen of this Action, and involves substantially the same Defendant federal
15
agencies and officers.
16
While the Plaintiffs, claims, and remedies are not coextensive between the two cases, it
17
18
is likely that there will be significant overlap in legal argument and potentially similar evidence
19
across the two actions. It appears very likely that there would be an unduly burdensome
20
duplication of labor and expense or the potential for conflicting results if the cases were conducted
21
before different judges.
