IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DARLENE STIPANOVICH

Plaintiff,

 v.

ASTRAZENECA PHARMACEUTICALS,

L.P. et al.

Defendant.

 /

No. C 06-01754 JSW

ORDER RE ASTRAZENECA

DEFENDANTS’

ADMINISTRATIVE MOTION TO

STAY

The Court has before it for consideration Plaintiff’s Motion for Administrative Relief for

Order Approving Dismissal Without Prejudice, and Defendant’s Motion for Administrative

Relief to Stay Action Pending Transfer to Multidistrict Proceedings.

Northern District Civil Local Rule 7-11 sets forth the type of matters that are considered

proper subjects of a motion for administrative relief. Specifically, the rule provides:

during the course of case proceedings a party may require a Court order with

respect to miscellaneous administrative matters, not otherwise governed by a

federal statute, Federal or local rule or standing order of the assigned judge. 

These motions would include matters such as motions to exceed otherwise

applicable page limitations or motions to file documents under seal, for

example.

While it is likely that the Astrazeneca Defendants’ filed their current motion as a motion

for administrative relief in reaction to administrative motions filed by plaintiffs in other cases,

the Court concludes the relief sought by that motion is not the proper subject of a motion for

administrative relief.
