G:\WHAALL\2005Civ\05-03335 Zabadi\OrderDenyZhengMotionRelateCases.wpd 2

Xiao Zheng moves to relate Zheng v. Chertoff, No. C 05-3657 SC to Zabadi v. Chertoff,

No. C 05-03335 WHA. The two cases share common respondents and a common legal issue: 

the constitutionality of detention under 8 U.S.C. 1226(c). These similarities are insufficient to

relate the cases. They do not involve the same events. Some legal research would be repeated

in separate adjudication but would not be unduly burdensome. No conflicting results are likely

because each set of claims stands or falls without regard to the success of the other set. See Civ.

Local R. 3-12(a)(1)–(2). For these reasons, the motion is DENIED. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: October 25, 2005
