IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARTHA CO.,

Plaintiff,

 v.

COUNTY OF MARIN,

Defendant. /

No. C 75-00125 RHS

No. C 06-0200 SBA

ORDER DENYING ADMINISTRATIVE

MOTION TO RELATE CASES

This matter comes before the Court as a general duty matter pursuant to Civil Local Rule 3-12(f).

Plaintiff Martha Co. seeks an order relating this case to County of Marin v. Martha Co., No. 06-0200

SBA. Civil Local Rule 3-12(a)(2) states that an action is related to another when “[i]t appears likely

that there will be an unduly burdensome duplication of labor and expense or conflicting results if the

cases are conducted before different judges.” Because the judge who originally handled this matter,

Judge Robert H. Schnacke, is now deceased, judicial efficiency will not be served by relating these

cases. Accordingly, the Court finds that Local Rule 3-12(a)(2) is not satisfied, and that the two matters

are not related. This finding shall have no bearing on the legal effect of the judgment in this case on

Case No. 06-0200 SBA.

For the foregoing reasons, the Court DENIES plaintiff’s motion to relate cases.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
