STIPULATED ORDER

2 

 

The parties aver that all of the prerequisites for transfer are satisfied; that transfer would 

allow this case to be consolidated with Akel, the first-filed case, which alleges similar facts and 

similar legal claims; and that transfer and consolidation would preserve judicial and party resources 

and would avoid potential conflicting rulings. 

PURSUANT TO STIPULATION, IT IS SO ORDERED THAT: 

1. This action is transferred to the United States District Court for the Southern District 

of California for all further proceedings. 

2. The Clerk of the Court promptly shall take all reasonable and necessary action to 

transfer this case to the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
