UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JUAN M. RODRIGUEZ BELTRAN,

Plaintiff,

v.

TERRAFORM GLOBAL, INC., et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-04981-WHO 

ORDER RELATING CASES

Re: Dkt. Nos. 56, 63

Defendants filed an administrative motion to relate five cases that were removed to this 

Court from Santa Clara County Superior Court. Agrawal v. TerraForm Global, Inc. et al., 3:15-

cv-6322-EMC, Iron Workers Mid-South Pension Fund v. TerraForm Global, Inc. et al., 3:15-cv6328-JST, Badri v. TerraForm Global Inc. et al., 5:15-cv-6323-BLF, Fraser v. Wuebbels, et al., 

5:15-cv-6326-LHK, and Patel v. TerraForm Global, Inc. et al., 3:16-cv-00073-HSG (collectively 

“Removed Cases”).

1

 This case and the Removed Cases arise from the Initial Public Offering of 

defendant Terraform Global Inc.

Plaintiffs in the Removed Cases oppose relation, arguing that there are pending motions to 

remand filed in each of the Removed Cases that – if granted – will obviate the need to relate. 

They also argue that relation to me will delay resolution of the motions to remand, the first of 

which are set to be heard by Judge Chen and Judge Tigar on February 18, 2016 in Agrawal v. 

TerraForm Global, Inc. et al., 3:15-cv-6322-EMC and Iron Workers Mid-South Pension Fund v. 

TerraForm Global, Inc. et al., 3:15-cv-6328-JST.

I GRANT the administrative motion to relate. The substance of these cases is related and 

it makes sense for one judge to decide all of the upcoming motions to remand at once. Therefore,

 

1

Pyramid Holdings v. TerraForm Global, Inc. et al., 3:15-cv-05068, which was filed in the first 

instance in this Court, has already been related to this case.
