UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

FALCK USA, INC., et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

SCOTT GRIFFITH COLLABORATIVE 

SOLUTIONS, LLC,

Defendant.

Case No. 19-cv-08171-JCS 

Also Filed in Case No. 19-cv-06104-SBA

SUA SPONTE REFERRAL TO 

DETERMINE WHETHER CASES ARE 

RELATED

On December 13, 2019, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas 

ordered its case number 4:19-cv-00773-O transferred to this district (where the case was assigned 

case number 19-cv-08171) based on the first-to-file rule and the case’s overlap with this Court’s 

case number 19-cv-06104, assigned to the Honorable Saundra Brown Armstrong. See Order (dkt. 

24). According to the Northern District of Texas’s order, “the claims and parties in [case number 

19-cv-08171] substantially overlap with those in [case number 19-cv-06104].” Id. at 6. 

The Court therefore refers case number 19-cv-08171 to Judge Armstrong pursuant to Civil 

Local Rule 3-12(c) to determine whether it is related to case number 19-cv-06104. Any party may 

file a response addressing whether the cases should be found related no later than December 24, 

2019. See Civ. L.R. 3-12(c), 3-12(e), 7-11(b).

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: December 20, 2019
