FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ALLISON C. PIERCE,

Plaintiff,

 v.

MICHAEL J. ASTRUE,

Defendant. /

No. C 09-02713 JSW

ORDER RE RELATEDNESS OF

CASES

Plaintiff has filed a notice of related cases, indicating that this matter is related to an

earlier case, Pierce v. Barnhart, Case No. C 00-0742 BZ. Although Judge Zimmerman had

denied the administrative motion to relate the cases in his low-numbered case, this Court would

find good cause to transfer this matter should Defendant consent to this matter being heard by

Judge Zimmerman. By no later than January 29, 2010, Defendant shall file a notice whether he

will or will not consent to the transfer of this matter to Magistrate Judge Zimmerman.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 22, 2010
