AIK CHEONG NEO, an individual d/b/a PO

an individual,

Plaintiffs,

 v.

MARINA BROTHERS, INC., a California

corporation d/b/a MARINA FOOD #5, et al.,

Defendants. /

No. C 09-00739 WHA

No. C 10-00455 SC

ORDER DECLINING 

TO RELATE CASES

The undersigned has reviewed the administrative motion to relate case number 

C 10-00455 SC to case number C 09-00739 WHA. While the parties in the case pending before

Judge Conti were both defendants in the action pending before the undersigned, they have long

since been dismissed from case number C 09-00739. Moreover, while the same allegedly

infringing products may be at issue in both cases, the case before the undersigned is a trademark

infringement action brought by the owner of the mark, while case number C 10-00455 involves a

dispute solely between downstream buyers and sellers of the allegedly infringing product. As

such, these cases are not related under Civil Local Rule 8-1(a).
