*E-FILED 2/9/06*

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

AUREFLAM CORPORATION,

Plaintiff,

 v.

PHO HOA PHAT I, INC., ET AL.,

Defendants. /

NO. 05-cv-00746 RS

ORDER DENYING

DEFENDANTS' MOTION

TO CONSOLIDATE ACTIONS

Defendants Pho Hoa Phat I, Inc., Pho Hoa Phat II, Inc., and Johnny Lee (collectively, "PHP")

seek to consolidate the above-entitled action with another action pending in this district entitled

Aureflam v. Pho Hoa Phat, et al., C-04-3824 JW, arguing that the cases are related. Civil L.R. 3-12

provides, however, that when a party believes a case is related to another action already pending in

that same court, the proper mechanism is to file a notice of related case so that the Judge assigned to

the case first filed may review the cases and determine whether or not they are related. Accordingly,

since no notice of related case has been filed in either case pending in this Court, PHP's motion to

consolidate is denied without prejudice to permit it to file a notice of related case. Depending on the

outcome of that notice, PHP may then seek to consolidate the cases.
