UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TONY HARRIS,

Plaintiff,

CASE NO. 04CV2593-LAB (LSP)

ORDER DECLINING TRANSFER

vs. OF RELATED CASE

STONECREST CARE AUTO CENTER,

LLC dba SHELL; VINCENT D. MANNO,

Trustee of the VINCENT D. MANNO

TRUST; CAROL ANN CARLETON,

FILOMENA R. BUCKINGHAM and

AMELIA M. LUCAS, Trustees of the

CAROL A. CARLETON TRUST, Trustees

of the FILOMENA R. BUCKINGHAM

TRUST, and Trustees of the AMELIA M.

LUCAS TRUST; LARRY M. LUCAS and

AMELIA M. LUCAS, Trustees of the

LUCAS FAMILY TRUST, 

Defendants.

On February 5, 2007, the Court issued its findings of fact and conclusions of law. The court

held Plaintiff lacked standing to pursue his ADA claims, and dismissed his supplemental state claims

without prejudice. Plaintifftook an appeal from the Court’s judgment, which he voluntarily dismissed.

On February 15, 2008, Defendant filed a notice of related case in the docket of a separate case,Kohler

v. Stonecrest Gas & Wash, Inc., 08cv105-L (NLS). Defendant was unable to file a notice of related

case in this docket, which is closed. A low-number order of transfer was prepared.

The defendants in both cases are the same and the cases involve similar legal theories. The

complaint in Kohler, however, involves a different plaintiff and arises from different facts. The Court
