UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Syed v. M-I, LLC (Civ. Case No. 12-1718) has been related to Dewan v. M-I, LLC (Civ. 

Case No. 14-1151). Dewan was recently transferred from the Southern District of Texas. These 

two cases have the same Defendant and deal with overlapping issues of law, specifically, the 

applicability of FLSA exemptions to Defendant’s mud engineers. There is a pending motion for 

summary judgment in Dewan. A ruling in favor of Defendant in Dewan could affect Syed. The 

Plaintiffs in Syed are invited to file a brief in Dewan addressing the summary judgment motion by 

Tuesday, April 14, 2015. Defendant may file a response by Thursday April 30, 2015. These 

papers are to be filed in the docket of Dewan, Civ. Case No. 14-1151. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 17, 2015
