ORDER DIRECTING REASSIGNMENT 

OF RELATED CASES AND DENYING 

MOTION TO CONSOLIDATE. 

Re: Dkt. No. 240

Before the court is plaintiff Evolutionary Intelligence, LLC’s motion to consolidate 

nine presently related actions solely for the purposes of resolving plaintiff’s pending 

motion for relief from judgment. Defendants have filed a statement of non-opposition. 

Having reviewed plaintiff’s motion and carefully considered its arguments and the 

relevant legal authority, and good cause appearing, the court here by rules as follows:

1. As they have already been related, the Clerk of Court is directed to reassign 

the following actions to the undersigned judge: Evolutionary Intelligence, LLC 

v. Yelp, Inc., No. 5:13-cv-03587-RMW; Evolutionary Intelligence, LLC v. Apple, 

Inc., No. 5:13-cv-04201-RMW; Evolutionary Intelligence, LLC v. Facebook, 

Inc., No. 5:13-cv-04202-RMW; Evolutionary Intelligence, LLC v. Foursquare

action and Evolutionary Intelligence, LLC v. Livingsocial, Inc., No. 4:13-cv04205-PJH, the “Related Actions”).

2. Plaintiff’s motion to consolidate is DENIED. Though only filed in the abovecaptioned action, plaintiff’s motion seeks to consolidate the Related Actions for 

the sole purpose of ensuring that the court’s order on the pending motion for 

relief from judgment will apply to each of the Related Actions. The previously 

assigned judge has already found consolidation of the Related Actions

inappropriate. See Dkt. No. 153. Moreover, plaintiff’s purpose in filing the 

motion may be accomplished without consolidation. 

3. The court hereby deems plaintiff’s motion to consolidate and motion for relief 

from judgment filed in the above-captioned action to have been filed in each of 

the Related Actions. This order and the court’s order on plaintiff’s motion for 

relief from judgment shall apply to each of the Related Actions.

4. To perfect the record, the parties shall file in each of the Related Actions all 

briefing and supporting papers related to plaintiff’s motion to consolidate and 

motion for relief from judgment. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
