IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MALIBU MEDIA, LLC, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

JOHN DOE SUBSCRIBER 

ASSIGNED IP ADDRESS 

98.255.92.230, 

Defendant.

THIRD ORDER RELATING AND 

REASSIGNING CASES

On March 31, 2016, Malibu Media, LLC, (“Malibu”) filed two additional cases with the 

Fresno Division of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. A 

review of those newly-filed actions reveals that they are related under Eastern District Local 

Rule 123 to the above enumerated action. Both of those actions appear to involve similar 

questions of fact and law and assignment to the same judge is likely to effect a substantial 

savings of judicial effort. See Local Rule 123(a)(3). Because the undersigned is assigned the 

lowest numbered related case, all of the below listed cases will be reassigned to the dockets of 

Senior District Judge Anthony Ishii and referred to Magistrate Judge Sheila K. Oberto. The 

following actions will be reassigned: Malibu Media, LLC v. John Doe subscriber assigned IP 

address 50.173.107.113, case no. 1:16-cv-00442-DAD-SAB; and Malibu Media, LLC v. John 

Doe subscriber assigned IP address 98.252.66.20, case no. 1:16-cv-443-DAD-BAM.

Malibu failed to file a Notice of Related Cases in either of the cases that it filed with this 

Court on March 30, 2016. In failing to do so, Malibu has failed to comply with Local Rules for a 

second time. See Doc. 4 (citing E.D. Cal. Local Rule 123(b)). The Court previously warned that 

failure to comply with Local Rules could result in sanction. Id. (citing E.D. Cal. Local Rule 110). 

Plaintiff is now warned for a second time and final time. Any subsequent failure to file a Notice 

of Related Cases when filing with this Division a new case that requires such notice will result in 

monetary sanction.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Case numbers 1:16-cv-00442-DAD-SAB and 1:16-cv-443-DAD-BAM are 

REASSIGNED from their respective dockets to the docket of Senior District Judge 

Anthony W. Ishii and REFERRED to Magistrate Judge Sheila K. Oberto;

2. The lead case number in this matter, which plaintiff shall use to relate all future related 

filings, is: 1:15-cv-01943-AWI-SKO.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: April 1, 2016
