IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HASAN ARDA AKSU,

Plaintiff,

 v.

COUNTY OF CONTRA COSTA, et al.,

Defendants. /

No. C 12-04268 CRB

ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR

SUMMARY JUDGMENT

Plaintiff Hasan Arda Aksu moves for partial summary judgment against Defendant

Suzanne Porter, asserting that a Contra Costa Superior Court decision precludes Porter from

litigating her liability in the instant action. See generally Mot. (dkt. 78). The Court finds this

matter suitable for resolution without oral argument pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-1(b),

VACATES the hearing currently set for April 3, 2015, and DENIES the Motion. The

elements of issue preclusion are not satisfied because the superior court did not decide the

identical issues present in the instant action, nor were those issues necessary to the superior

court’s decision. See Cooper v. Ramos, 704 F.3d 772, 784 (9th Cir. 2012). 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: April 2, 2015
