UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff,

v.

JESSE FRANKLIN SWARTZ,

Defendant.

Case No. 15-cr-00351-MAG-1 (MEJ)

ORDER DECLINING TO RELATE 

CASES

On July 28, 2015, the Honorable Jeffrey S. White referred a civil case, Franklin H. Wright 

v. U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Case No. 15-CV-3204, to determine whether it is

related to the above captioned case pursuant to Civil Local Rule 3-12. Given that Swartz has filed 

a declination to proceed before a magistrate judge in the civil case, if the Court were to relate the 

two cases, the civil matter would then be immediately reassigned to a district judge. Thus, as an 

order relating these two cases would not serve the purpose of Civil Local Rule 3-12, the Court 

declines to relate the cases.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: July 29, 2015
