Defendants. )

)

On January 5, 2006, Defendant Merck & Company, Inc.

(“Defendant”) filed a Notice of Related Cases document that did not

include lower numbered action 2:05-cv-2140-MCE-PAN. Defendant is

obviously aware of this lower numbered action, because Defendant

included it in a Notice of Related Cases document filed on

November 10, 2005. Local Rule 83-123(b) requires Counsel to include

in a Notice of Related Cases document all “action[s] on file (whether

or not dismissed or otherwise terminated).” Therefore, Defendant’s

January 5 Notice of Related Cases document is defective and is

stricken. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 24, 2006
