IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HARRISON BENJAMIN KINNEY,

Plaintiff,

 v.

GAV’S AUTO SERVICE ET AL.,

Defendants. /

No. 16-cv-3480 CRB

ORDER OF SUA SPONTE 

REFERRAL AS TO WHETHER

CASES ARE RELATED

Northern District of California Civil Local Rule 3-12(c) provides: “Whenever a Judge

believes that a case pending before that Judge is related to another case, the Judge may refer

the case to the Judge assigned to the earliest-filed case with a request that the Judge assigned

to the earliest-filed case consider whether the cases are related.”

After reviewing the parties’ submissions, the Court believes that this case involves the

same facts, the same issues, and many of the same parties as Patrick Connally v. Gav’s Auto

Service et al., Case No. 15-3468. There, the Honorable Jon S. Tigar denied a motion to add

Harrison Kinney as a plaintiff because he lacked standing under the ADA. Here, Defendant

Joan Borgwardt moves to dismiss Kinney’s own complaint on the same grounds. 

Accordingly, pursuant to Rule 3-12(c), this action is REFERRED to the Honorable

Jon S. Tigar for a determination of whether it relates to Patrick Connally v. Gav’s Auto

Service et al., Case No. 15-3468.
