factual and legal issues. Respondent Kelso asserts “both petitions

involve decisions regarding the competency of physicians employed

in the California State prisons and arise out of adverse employment

actions and physician peer review in the California State prisons.”

(Notice at 2:3-6.)

However, the facts underlying the adverse employment

actions in each case have not been shown to be similar enough to

justify relating the cases. Therefore, the cases will not be

related.

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: May 27, 2008
