WHEREAS, the parties believe that the actions Lynch v. Rawls, et al., C-06-07660-RS, filed 

December 14, 2006, Short v. Rawls, et al., C-06-07661-RMW, filed December 14, 2006, and City of 

Worcester1 Retirement System v. Rawls, et al., C-06-07848-RS, filed December 22, 2006, all involve 

substantially similar questions of law and fact; 

WHEREAS, this Court has already related the Lynch and City of Worcester Actions in the 

Related Case Order issued January 3, 2007; 

WHEREAS, the parties believe the Short Action is a “related case” to the Lynch and City of 

Worcester Actions under Northern District of California Civil Local Rule 3-12(a); and 

WHEREAS, the parties believe that treatment of all three Actions as related would serve the 

interests of judicial economy and avoid the potential for conflicting rulings. 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED that Lynch v. Rawls, et al., C-06-07660-RS, 

Short v. Rawls, et al., C-06-07661-RMW, and City of Worcester Retirement System v. Rawls, et al.,

C-06-07848-RS, should all three be deemed related. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
