RACHEL ANNE BEN, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

ELI LILLY AND COMPANY, an 

Indiana corporation,

 Defendant.

No. 2:14-cv-02914-MCE-AC

The Notices of Related Cases concerning the abovecaptioned cases, filed April 22, 2015, and May 5, 2015, (ECF Nos. 

31 and 32), have been considered. See E.D. Cal. R. 123. However, 

in light of the different and numerous plaintiffs involved in 

Case Nos. 2:14-cv-02811 and 2:14-cv-02914 (“the later-filed 

cases”), the different procedural posture of the later-filed 

cases compared to Case Nos. 1:14-cv-1265 and 2:14-cv-01890 (the 

earlier filed cases are fully scheduled and have a trial 

commencement date), and the addition of factual allegations and 

legal theories in the later-filed cases, Defendant has not shown 

that assignment of the later-filed cases to the undersigned judge

is likely to effect a substantial saving of judicial effort. 

Therefore, the undersigned judge declines to order reassignment 

of the later-filed cases. 

Dated: May 15, 2015
