United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

WILLIAM CUTLIP,

Plaintiff,

v.

DEUTCHE BANK NATIONAL TRUST 

COMPANY FOR THE HARBORVIEW 

MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST PASSTHROUGH CERTIFICATES 2007-7, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-01345-BLF 

ORDER DECLINING TO RELATE 

CASES

[Re: ECF 69]

On December 19, 2016, Magistrate Judge Nathanael Cousins issued a sua sponte judicial 

referral for the purpose of determining whether Deutsche Bank Nat’l Trustee Co. v. Cutlip, No. 

16-cv-7148 is related to the above captioned case, Deutsche Bank Nat’l Trustee Co. v. Cutlip, No. 

16-cv-4255, and Deutsche Bank Nat’l Trust Co. v. Cutlip, No. 16-cv-3612. ECF 69.

While the parties are the same in the aforementioned cases, Defendant did not attach a 

copy of the state court complaint to his notice of removal. See No. 16-cv-7184, ECF 1. 

Therefore, the Court is unable to determine whether it is “likely that there will be an unduly 

burdensome duplication of labor and expense or conflicting results if the cases are conducted 

before different Judges,” as required for a determination of related case status. Civ. L.R. 3-

12(a)(2). 

Accordingly, the Court DECLINES TO RELATE the cases WITHOUT PREJUDICE.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: December 19, 2016
