The Notice of Related Cases concerning the abovecaptioned cases filed April 17, 2014, has been considered. 

(Defs.’ Notice of Related Cases, ECF No. 22, No. 2:13-cv-02159-

GEB-KJN.) 

Defendants removed the earlier-filed putative class 

action, Case No. 2:13-cv-02159-GEB-KJN, on traditional diversity 

grounds. (Notice of Removal, ECF No. 1, No. 2:13-cv-02159-GEBKJN.) That action was remanded on December 24, 2013, since 

Defendants failed to show satisfaction of the amount-incontroversy requirement. (Order, Dec. 24, 2013, ECF No. 17, No. 

2:13-cv-02159-GEB-KJN.) In addition to the remand order, the 

Court denied Defendants’ requests to stay and to reconsider the 

remand order. (Order, Jan. 8, 2014, ECF No. 20, No. 2:13-cv02159-GEB-KJN.) No other judicial work was expended in that 

action. 

The more recently filed putative class action, Case No. 

2:14-cv-00931-JAM-DAD, was removed under the Class Action 

Fairness Act, (Notice of Removal, ECF No. 1, No. 2:14-cv-00931-

JAM-DAD), and it has not been shown that reassignment of that 

action “is likely to effect a savings of judicial effort or other 

economies.” E.D. Cal. R. 123(c). Therefore, a reassignment order 

is not issued. 

Dated: April 22, 2014
