SAN JOSE DIVISION

JULIA C. MEZA,

Plaintiff,

v.

PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES, 

LLC, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 14-CV-03486-LHK 

RELATED CASE ORDER (CIGANEK)

Re: Dkt. No. 75

Before the Court is a sua sponte referral from Judge Freeman for determination of whether 

Ciganek v. Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC, No. 15-CV-3837-BLF (“Ciganek”) should be 

related to Meza v. Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC, No. 14-3486-LHK (“Meza”). ECF No. 75 

in the Meza docket. Ciganek and Meza concern substantially the same defendants, claims, and 

events, and it appears likely that there will be an unduly burdensome duplication of labor and 

expense or conflicting results if the cases are conducted before different judges. See Civil L. R. 3-

12(a). Therefore, the Court ORDERS that Ciganek be related to Meza.

Ciganek shall be reassigned to the undersigned judge. All future filings are to bear the 

initials “LHK.” Unless otherwise ordered, any dates for hearing noticed motions are vacated and 

must be renoticed by the moving party before the newly assigned judge; any deadlines set by the
