ORDER REFERRING CASE FOR RELATED

CASE DETERMINATION

Although no party has filed a formal notice of related case, it appears this action may be

related to two cases, No. 00-04071 CW and No. 01-03995 CW, before Judge Claudia Wilken. On

the court's own motion, this case is referred to Judge Wilken for the sole purpose of determining if it

is related to the earlier-filed actions before her.
