UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TAMARA FIELDS, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

TWITTER, INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 16-cv-00213-WHO 

ORDER DENYING MOTION TO 

RELATE CASES

Re: Dkt. No. 41

On June 27, 2016, defendant Twitter, Inc. (“Twitter”) filed a motion to relate Gonzalez v. 

Twitter, Inc., No. 16-cv-03282-DMR (N.D. Cal. filed Jun. 14, 2016), to this case. Dkt. No. 41. 

The plaintiff in Gonzalez, Reynaldo Gonzalez, filed an opposition on June 28, 2016. Dkt. No. 44.

Twitter’s motion is DENIED. Under Civil Local Rule 3-12, cases are related where 

(1) they “concern substantially the same parties, property, transaction or event;” and (2) “[i]t 

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.” Civil L.R. 3-12(a). 

Gonzalez is brought by a different plaintiff represented by different counsel against two additional 

defendants (Google, Inc. and Facebook, Inc.) and arises from a different incident (the November 

2015 attacks in Paris). It is not a related case under Rule 3-12.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 29, 2016
