United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

STEVEN ANDREW PALLAS,

Plaintiff,

v.

PAUL ACCORNERO, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 19-cv-01171-JCS

Also Filed in Case No. 18-cv-7726-LB 

SUA SPONTE REFERRAL TO 

DETERMINE WHETHER CASES ARE 

RELATED

Defendants filed a “Notice of Related Case” (dkt. 8) asserting that the complaint filed in 

this case is identical to the complaint that Plaintiff Steven Andrew Pallas filed and voluntarily 

dismissed in an earlier case, Pallas v. Accornero, No. 18-cv-7726-LB (N.D. Cal.). This case is 

therefore referred to Judge Beeler pursuant to Civil Local Rule 3-12(c) to determine whether it is 

related to the earlier-filed case. Any party may file a response no later than April 22, 2019. See

Civ. L.R. 3-12(c), 3-12(e), 7-11(b).

Although the Court excuses both parties’ noncompliance in this instance, the parties are 

advised that when a party believes cases are or may be related, this Court’s local rules require the 

party to file an administrative motion in the lowest-numbered case. Civ. L.R. 3-12(b).

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: April 17, 2019.
