MICHAEL HAYNES, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

D. ROSARIO, 

Defendant. 

No. 2:12-cv-3018-KJN P 

ORDER DECLINING TO RELATE CASES 

 Michael D. Haynes, plaintiff in Haynes v. Rosario, 2:12-cv-3018-KJN, has filed a notice 

of related case, indicating that the above cases are related. An action is related to another action 

within the meaning of Local Rule 123 when (1) both actions involve the same parties and are 

based on the same or a similar claim; (2) both actions involve the same property, transaction, or 

event; (3) both actions involve similar questions of fact and the same question of law and their 

assignment to the same Judge or Magistrate Judge is likely to effect a substantial savings of

judicial effort, either because the same result should follow in both actions or otherwise; or (4) for 

any other reasons, it would entail substantial duplication of labor if the actions were heard by 

different Judges or Magistrate Judges. 

 Mr. Haynes believes that his case is related to Burgos v. Long, 2:10-cv-3274, because they 

both involve a misuse of force claim against defendant Rosario. Mr. Haynes is mistaken. 

Although Rosario is a defendant in this case, “misuse of force” is not at issue. 

 Because no common questions of law or fact exist between the cases, IT IS HEREBY 

ORDERED that the cases will not be related.
